Zendaya Skips 2026 Met Gala

A packed press schedule kept her off the red carpet.

Overview

  • Zendaya did not attend the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute fundraiser known as the Met Gala.
  • Her longtime stylist, Law Roach, attended solo and said the night was "about me," signaling she would not walk the carpet.
  • Reports link her absence to a heavy workload after recent promotion for The Drama and Euphoria season 3.
  • She is set to promote major summer releases, with The Odyssey opening July 17 and Spider-Man: Brand New Day following two weeks later.
  • Fans and fashion outlets highlighted the skip because she has been a standout Met presence since 2015 and many looked for her take on the "Fashion Is Art" theme.
