Attention, Upper East Siders: We have a major update on the 2024 Met Gala.
Blake Lively did not make an appearance at the Met steps this year. While the reason for her absence remains unknown, the Gossip Girl alum, known for her red carpet presence, has been busy with projects like filming A Simple Favor 2 in Italy with Anna Kendrick and working on the movie adaptation of It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover in New York.
In addition, Blake recently attended a Tiffany & Co. party in New York on May 2. (Check out all the stars present at the 2024 Met Gala here.)
Another Met Gala regular, Jared Leto, confirmed his absence from the event this year due to his band 30 Seconds to Mars‘ Seasons World Tour.
“Back on the road,” he told E! News at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards on April 1. “It’s been five years.”
“I will be there in spirit with my head and my cat,” Jared added, “wishing everybody a beautiful night.”
Despite some notable absences, the 2024 Met Gala was still a star-studded event with Bad Bunny, Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, and Jennifer Lopez joining Anna Wintour as co-chairs of the glamorous event held on May 6 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
