Why is this year’s Met Gala causing controversy? Who are the “persona non grata” of the Met Gala? Just hours before the prestigious event, the American edition of The Sun and L’Officiel revealed a list of celebrities who are certain not to be on the red carpet tonight. The first of them is none other than Donald Trump. The American president is actually the only “official” name on this list. While he has often attended the Met Gala before entering the White House, Melania’s husband now presents too many differences of opinion with the fashion high priestess, as she has publicly stated.
Rapper Nicki Minaj is also said to be on this list, largely for the same reasons as Donald Trump. The “Starships” singer has recently shown her support for the president, which did not please Anna Wintour. Surprisingly, Tim Gunn, an influential fashion personality in the United States, is also excluded. The former judge of the show “Project Runway” had disagreements with the former Vogue editor-in-chief and publicly criticized her.
Actress Lili Reinhart, known for the series Riverdale, was invited a few years ago. The young woman was removed from the guest list due to her stance on Kim Kardashian’s drastic weight loss to fit into her historic dress. Coming back to the fashion scene, stylist Rachel Zoe is also “avoided” by Anna Wintour. The fifty-year-old once dared to say that she was more influential than the Vogue editor-in-chief, which resulted in her not receiving an invitation. Tina Fey, Amy Schumer, and Zayn Malik also reportedly lost their chance to attend the event after publicly criticizing it.
