The May 2022 event will follow the same format and have four celebrity co-chairs, including Regina King, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Lin-Manuel Miranda, who help determine the guest list, the decor, the food, and the overall vibe of the event. The actors join the event’s honorary chairs — fashion designer Tom Ford, Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri, and of course Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
As for the guest list, the Met Gala will likely have the usual suspects of stylish celebrities. Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Zendaya are among the stars who have worn iconic looks to the event throughout the years. However, not all of these fashion icons plan on attending this year's gala. Rihanna likely won’t make it to part two of the exhibit, as she’s currently in Barbados anticipating giving birth to her and A$AP Rocky’s baby.
Zendaya also revealed she wouldn’t be getting dolled up for the Met Gala this year. While sitting on a panel for her HBO Max show, Euphoria, the actress said she wouldn’t be able to attend due to work demands. Zendaya is currently filming a movie called The Challengers.
“I’m sorry to disappoint my fans here, but I will be working,” she said. “Your girl’s gotta work and make some movies. So, I wish everyone the best.”
Following her remarks, Zendaya gave her fans some hope for the future by stating, “I will be back eventually.”
You can stream the 2022 Met Gala live on Vogue’s website on Monday, May 2.
