The Met Gala may be the most fashionable event of the year, but not everyone loves -- or is allowed -- to attend.
Despite her popular fashion brand, RHONY's Rebecca Minkoff has never been invited to the Met Gala and she speculates it's because she broke one of Anna Wintour's rules. On the Two T's in a Pod podcast, Minkoff shared she once got in the same elevator as Wintour, adding, "That was the end of my relationship with Anna. You’re not allowed in the elevator with Anna." She said the situation became worse when she tried to make small talk and was left with an "awkward" silence," before adding, "Maybe that's why I've never been invited to the Met Gala."
"I had a terrible experience," Demi Lovato told Billboard about the 2016 Met Gala. "This one celebrity was a complete bitch and was miserable to be around. It was very cliquey. I remember being so uncomfortable that I wanted to drink." She went to an AA meeting straight from the event and criticized attendees as “fake and sucking the fashion industry’s dick."
Jennifer Garner hasn't returned to the Met Gala since attending back in 2007. In Vogue's Beauty Secret series, the actress opened up about her experience, saying, "I found it a little scary, so I haven't been back." That being said, she added she had a "majestic and special" evening attending as Valentino's date.
Lizzo complained after making her Met Gala debut in 2022 that the fashion event was “really stingy with the liquor,” that there was “heckling” from photogs about her flute performance and said the wait lines for everything were way too long. However, that didn’t keep the pop queen from attending the costume party again this year.
Priyanka Chopra appeared on GMA a few days after the Met Gala and revealed the one complaint she had about the event: "The Met's always like, so much work for just that carpet moment...But..I have a complaint. There was no bread for dinner. No bread for dinner, I was so hungry after." She then went on to reveal Nick Jonas’ solution: "My husband ordered pizza by the time we got back to the hotel, so we were fine.” However, she quickly regretted being so candid, “There goes my invite for next year."
