Why Jennifer Garner, Zayn Malik & More Are Skipping | Met Gala 2025

The stars are gearing up for the May 5th, 2025 Met Gala, but Jennifer Gardner will not be in attendance. The 13 Going on 30 actress has not attended the event since its Pay King in fashion night in 2007 and has no plans of ever going again. In a December 2023 interview with Vogue, the star says, “I went to the Metball exactly one time. Um, I found it a little scary, so I haven’t been back. But I wore that night this magical red Valentino gown and I was his date and that was really like majestic and special. And Jennifer isn’t the only celeb to opt out of the event. Zayn Malik only attended the 2016 gala, telling GQ in 2018, “I’d rather be sitting at my house doing something productive than dressing up in really expensive clothes and being photographed on a red carpet.” Gwennneth Paltro attended the 2017 Gala 4 years after admitting to USA Today that her past experience was so unfun, boiling, and too crowded, saying she did not enjoy the event at all. Despite her complaints, the Goop founder returned again in 2019. [Music] [Music]

While the 2025 Met Gala saw stars like Zendaya, Colman Domingo and more grace the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Jennifer Garner and Zayn Malik were among those who opted to skip the high-profile event. Here’s Why.
