The MET Gala 2023, one of the most awaited events in the fashion world, was held on Monday night. However, despite rumors of her attendance, supermodel Bella Hadid was nowhere to be seen on the red carpet.
Bella Hadid, who is known for her stunning appearances at previous MET Galas, was active on her Instagram Story earlier in the day. She even reposted a photo shared by her sister Gigi Hadid, who did attend the event. However, no specific reason for Bella’s absence has been revealed yet.
It’s worth noting that Bella Hadid was last spotted attending a public event in March, months after announcing her decision to quit drinking. It’s unclear if her decision to skip the MET Gala is related to her previous struggles with substance abuse.
Bella Hadid wasn’t the only one to skip the event. A few other A-list celebrities, including Blake Lively, Zendaya, Ariana Grande, and Lady Gaga, were also conspicuously absent.
The MET Gala, which was postponed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, returned with the theme “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” The event was attended by many other big names in the entertainment and fashion industry, including Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, and Jennifer Lopez.
Despite the absence of a few notable celebrities, the MET Gala 2023 was still a star-studded affair, with stunning outfits and jaw-dropping looks stealing the show.
