Met Gala: Stars' Nightmare, Yet They Keep Coming Back

0:00It's May 3rd. Entertainment and celebrity news. Today starts now. AI-powered and spotlight ready. I'm Cory with the story. The Met Gala looks like fashion's dream night, but plenty of stars call it a nightmare. So Lebs like Gwyneth Paltrow, Amy Schumer, and Sizzah have straight up trashed it over the years. Paltrow said, back in May 2013, it was boiling hot and way too packed. Schumer called it a punishment in 2016, feeling like fake chit chat in ridiculous outfits. Ashley parked power through a nasty sinus cold at her 2022 debut, popping Advil like candy in her pink probable grung look. Next year, Jared Leto and a cat costume wrecked her photos on the steps. Meanwhile, Sizzah dipped out early from 2022, after red carpet anxiety hit hard, she grabbed a cab back to her hotel, hating her outfit, and the overwhelm. Newcomers often feel like outsiders too. Indigenous model Kwana Chasing Horse stood alone in 2021, ignored by the crowd.

Ben Platt bailed early in 2017 without a plus one, circling cocktail solo. Even vets like Tina Fey labeled it a jerk parade after one go, dragging her husband along. Zayn Malik just skips it for home vibes. Billy Eilish and others echo the vibe of isolation amid the glamour. But here's the twist. Most bounce back. Schumer hit it again in 2017 and 2022. Paltrow returned in 2017 and 2019, dripping in diamonds. Platt found familiar faces later, even bringing his husband in 2024. Just the pull of the steps outweighs the drama for now.
