Washington: While Met Gala is an event full of glitz and glamour with several celebrities showing up dressed in their fashion best, the ceremony would surely miss style icon, Zendaya, for the third year in a row. The Euphoria star recently announced that she will be missing the Met Gala for the third year in a row.
"I'm sorry to disappoint my fans here but I will be working. Your girl's gotta work and make some movies. So I wish everyone the best," Zendaya told to an outlet on Wednesday at the Euphoria For Your Consideration Emmys event, as per Page Six. She added that she will be tennis, referring to her upcoming movie Challengers, which follows a group of players competing for the Grand Slam.
"I will be back eventually," the Dune star promised by saying that as always, she will make up for her absence throughout the year with "better-than-ever" red carpet looks. "I'll keep delivering in other ways," she said. The Spider-Man star last hit the steps of the Met Gala in 2019, dressed up in a 'Cinderella' gown that magically transformed colours with the help of Fairy Godmother, and stylist, Law Roach.
