This is the guest list update we never wanted to share.
Just days before the 2021 Met Gala takes center stage in New York City, one fashion extraordinaire has confirmed she will not be attending this year's event. Ladies and gentlemen, we're sorry to report Zendaya will be MIA on Monday, Sept. 13.
"I will be on Euphoria. My fans are going to be very upset with me," the actress revealed to Extra on Sept. 8. "I will unfortunately not be able to attend because I'll be working for Euphoria. I got my time off to come here and do this Venice experience, which has been really, really special."
The actress continued, "I wish I could, especially since this fashion icon is going to be hosting."
That icon just so happens to be Timothée Chalamet, her co-star in the upcoming movie Dune. While he's supporting the upcoming movie at the Venice Film Festival, the actor is eager to attend the Big Apple event.
"I'm really looking forward to the Met and I want to soak it all in," he shared. "I know I have some responsibilities for the evening too, but I really just want to see everyone."
Timothée, along with Billie Eilish, poet Amanda Gorman and tennis star Naomi Osaka are set to serve as co-chairs of the Met Gala. Tom Ford, Adam Mosseri and Vogue's Anna Wintour will serve as honorary chairs.
While Zendaya has a perfectly valid reason for why she can't attend Monday's festivities, many won't forget her memorable looks from previous events.
Most recently, the former Disney Channel star brought Cinderella to life when she stepped out in Tommy Hilfiger dress that lit up.
"This is the coolest dress I have ever worn," she told reporters when walking up the famed Metropolitan Museum of Art steps. "It's really amazing what it can do."
