Meryl Streep, Ryan Gosling, Angelina Jolie and other celebrities who have never attended Met Gala

Officially, the Met Gala is a benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, a black tie extravaganza held once a year on the first Monday of May. The main goal is to raise money for the museum's fashion department. Unofficially, it's the party of the year, the Oscars of the East Coast, and an ATM for the show.

This year's show is called "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." Whatever the theme of the party is, it is always an interesting show, but not all famous personalities have attended this party at least once. Therefore, today OBOZ.UA decided to tell you which celebrities have never been among the guests of the Met Gala.

Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep, a three-time Oscar winner and nine-time Golden Globe winner, is used to the red carpet. However, despite the fact that the acting legend has starred in several fashion roles in films such as The Devil Wears Prada - where she actually played Met Gala organizer and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour - and Mamma Mia, she has never attended the Met Gala. In 2020, Meryl Streep almost became the co-chair of the Met Gala, but the event was canceled due to the pandemic.

Ryan Gosling

The actor has never attended the event. His absence at the Met Gala last year was the most surprising,# as the movie Barbie, where he played the role of Ken, became the biggest hit of the year.

Angelina Jolie

Angelina has a long list of roles that would definitely allow her to attend the Met Gala, but this has never happened in all the years of her acting career. Perhaps things will change?

Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson, star of the hit movies Fast and Furious and Moana, actor and former wrestler, has never attended this party.

Entire cast of Friends TV series

The entire cast of Friends has never appeared on the Met Gala red carpet. For some reason, neither Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, nor Matthew Perry (until his death in 2023) have ever attended the event.

Adele

The music icon's comeback in 2021 also cemented her place as a fashion icon. Whether she is performing in gorgeous dresses without heels or sitting by the court in a spectacular coat, she is an eye-catcher. Although the "Easy on Me" singer has yet to attend the event, there is hope for her debut as she has returned to the spotlight in recent years.

Britney Spears

When the princess of pop was at the height of her fame in the 2000s, you might have suspected that she walked the Met Gala red carpet, but that's not the case. It would have been great to see Spears reimagine her eccentric touring costumes and award show style for any of the Met's unique themes. But with a continuous workload, it's understandable. Now free from the restrictions of a guardian, Spears is able to attend more public events.

Royalty

The Met Gala was attended by royalty, but not by Princes William and Harry and their wives Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. Middleton's style is sensational, so it would be interesting to see what she could come up with for this event, but whether it will ever happen is unknown. As for the second royal couple, it is also quite surprising that they have never attended as they are one of the most talked about couples on the planet.

Christina Aguilera

Although the Met Gala is the perfect platform for showcasing artists' cool and unusual styles, Christina Aguilera has never walked the Met Gala red carpet. The singer has spent most of her life creating music, touring, acting, and building her image. And, undoubtedly, her fans would be happy to see her showcasing her style at the Met.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is the main character of the red carpet, always in a chic suit and always with a new hairstyle. However, like both of his famous exes, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie, the actor has also never attended this event.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett

This star couple attended most of the events and visited more than one red carpet, but they have never attended the Met Gala. The same cannot be said about their children: Jaden and Willow Smith have already been invited to this party.
