The Met Gala is seen by many as the night of the year for fashion, with designers across the globe dressing the world’s biggest stars, but the exclusive event ultimately finds a few stars shockingly missing out.
Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who compiles the guest list each year, has explicitly stated in the past that she will never reveal her methods on deciding who will be invited.
However, on some occasions there are obvious reasons for the snubs, while some celebrities have also spoken out on their absolute refusal to attend the lavish event.
For example, the Kardashian-Jenner clan are expected to be absent from this year’s event, although this is not too surprising for fashion fans who know full well that Anna and Kim have had a rocky relationship over the years.
On the other hand, some celebrities have been outspoken about their disdain for the ball, with the likes of Amy Schumer, Tina Fey, Lily Reinhart and Gwyneth Paltrow unlikely to ever attend regardless of whether they are invited.
As the event draws near, Express.co.uk delves into the most surprising Met Gala snubs over the years.
