Check out the scoop on why Selena Gomez ditched this year’s Met Gala faster than you can say “red carpet.”
So, according to insiders blabbing to PEOPLE, Selena’s excuse for ghosting the hottest event in town was as simple as “Sorry, busy working!” Yep, apparently, she’s not just lounging around binge-watching Netflix like the rest of us mortals. Nope, she’s busy filming Only Murders in the Building’s fourth season and bossing it up with her Rare Beauty empire. Talk about multitasking like a pro!
But hold up, Selena’s not the only one playing hooky from the Met Gala party scene. Nope, you won’t find Katy Perry, Rihanna, or even Taylor Swift sashaying down that iconic staircase either. Rihanna couldn’t make it ’cause she caught a nasty bug, while Katy and Tay Tay were too deep in the work grind to even think about donning their fanciest frocks.
Remember when Selena rocked up to the Met Gala in 2014 like a modern-day mermaid? That gown by Diane von Furstenberg was fire! She was serving looks for days with her icy eye makeup, deep plum lipstick, and those silver earrings that probably weighed more than my entire handbag. And let’s not forget 2015 when she turned up in that custom Vera Wang ivory number with a flower crown fit for a fairy princess. Classic Selena, always keeping us guessing!
And who could forget that time Selena spilled the tea to Vogue about her Met Gala beauty blunder in 2021? Turns out, her tan wasn’t from some glamorous beach vacation but from a little too much self-tanning lotion. Yep, she straight-up admitted, “I am completely orange.” But hey, at least she owned it like a boss. “This is going to be terrible because I’m going to get eaten alive about this,” she joked.
Oh, Selena, you never fail to keep us entertained, whether you’re slaying the red carpet or spilling the self-tan secrets. Here’s to hoping she graces us with her Met Gala magic next year, orange tan or not!
