The Met Gala is one of the most glamorous and talked-about events in the world of fashion, drawing big names from music, movies, and beyond every year. But interestingly, there’s a surprising group of famous celebrities who have never actually stepped onto the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for this star-studded Costume Institute Benefit.
Among those who’ve never attended are popular actors like Tom Holland, Lisa Kudrow, and Courteney Cox. It’s not just TV stars—some huge names from the music industry, including the globally beloved singer Adele, have also never been seen at the Met Gala. This is especially notable since Adele has a powerhouse voice and even starred in a James Bond movie!
Royalty, too, has skipped the event: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, as well as Kate Middleton and Prince William, have never made an appearance.
Looking at Hollywood’s A-list, it might surprise you that big stars such as Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Aniston, and Leonardo DiCaprio—who’s known for fully transforming into his roles—have all yet to attend this fashion extravaganza.
The list of notable women missing from the Met Gala red carpet includes Carrie Underwood, Julie Andrews, Angelina Jolie, Mariah Carey, and Ellen DeGeneres, all big names who’ve somehow stayed away from the event.
Other famous musicians like Drake, Britney Spears, Dolly Parton, Kesha, and Christina Aguilera also have never walked the Met Gala carpet.
Even action stars like Jason Momoa and Dwayne Johnson, plus Helena Bonham Carter, are part of this unexpected group who haven’t shown up yet.
And the list keeps going with more familiar faces: Maren Morris, Ashley Tisdale, Reba McEntire, Busy Philipps, Chris Pratt, Jane Fonda, and several others.
This year, the Met Gala will take place on May 5, 2025. It’ll be exciting to see if any of these big names finally make their debut on the red carpet at this year’s dazzling event!
