Despite its status as a flagship event in fashion and entertainment, the Met Gala has never welcomed a surprising roster of top actors, musicians and royals including Tom Holland, Adele, and Meghan Markle, highlighting ongoing intrigue around celebrity attendance ahead of the 2025 event.
The Met Gala, celebrated as one of the premier events in the fashion and entertainment industries, is known for its gathering of influential figures from film, music, and beyond. However, a notable list of celebrities has never graced the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for this annual Costume Institute Benefit.
Among the actors who have notably absent from the event are Tom Holland, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Aniston, and Leonardo DiCaprio. This absence draws attention to a mix of Hollywood's biggest names who, despite their substantial contributions to the industry, have yet to partake in the glamour associated with the Met Gala.
Musical icons are also conspicuously missing from the guest list. Singers like Adele, who is globally celebrated and featured in a James Bond soundtrack, have never attended the gala. Similarly, Drake, Britney Spears, Dolly Parton, Kesha, and Christina Aguilera have all not been seen at this star-studded affair.
The event has also been devoid of royals, with couples such as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, along with Kate Middleton and Prince William, among those who have never attended.
Additional notable absentees from both the film and music industries include Jason Momoa, Dwayne Johnson, Helena Bonham Carter, Carrie Underwood, Julie Andrews, Angelina Jolie, Mariah Carey, Ellen DeGeneres, and several others, including Maren Morris, Ashley Tisdale, Reba McEntire, Busy Philipps, and Chris Pratt.
The Met Gala is set to take place on May 5, 2025, and as anticipation mounts for the upcoming event, discussions around celebrity attendance continue to be a point of intrigue within the fashion community.
