, Ryan Reynolds, Rihanna and Taylor Swift not seen on the red carpet.
The Gossip Girl alum and her husband chose to stay at home with their family instead, with a source telling Elle that, ‘the couple chose to spend their night at home, rather than on the red carpet.’
Swift also devastated fans when she didn’t make an appearance for the eighth year in a row.
Last month in April, it was reported that the Bad Blood hitmaker and boyfriend Travis Kelce would not be attending the MET Gala.
And the real reason why Taylor and Kelce would not be attending was revealed to be Swift’s conflicting dates for the Eras Tour which kicks off in France on May 9.
But speculation arose shortly before the event when Anna Wintour sat down for an interview with Today host, Jenna Bush Hager, to talk about the festivities.
Jenna revealed Anna’s rather cryptic response on whether Taylor Swift will be in attendance.

‘I also had to ask, because Mila Hager asked if Taylor was gonna be there, and she (Anna) said, “I hope she comes and enjoys the exhibit,”‘ she stated, referencing to her daughter.
Rihanna also had to skip the event due to being ‘sick with the flu,’ a source revealed to People.
While being busy with Only Murders In The Building and her Rare Beauty brand – which recently $7 million for charity – she is also preparing for the release of her new spinoff series, Selena + Restaurant.
The star let out a bit of ‘anger’ while pounding out blackberry caviar in a preview clip from the upcoming show that was shared with People on Tuesday.
In the video, the actress and her friend, Raquelle Stevens, trained with Hollywood restaurant Lemon Grove’s head chef, Marcel Vigneron, and learned how to make a dessert inspired by ‘the full moon.’
The Disney Channel alum was tasked with breaking up blackberries that had been frozen with liquid nitrogen, and said she would be ‘getting out some anger’ while breaking up the fruit.

Gomez was then presented with a meat pounder, and after asking if she could ‘smash’ the blackberries, Vigneron instructed her on how to get ‘individual cells’ out of each piece of fruit.
Although the singer appeared to get slightly carried away while smashing the blackberries, Vigneron stated that she was ‘looking pretty good’ as she helped prepare the dish.
Her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, also has a passion for food and published his cookbook, Open Wide: A Cookbook For Friends.
A source recently told Us Weekly that the pair – who were confirmed to be dating in December 2023 – have ‘talked about marriage and having children.’
