Zendaya Reveals She Will Skip Met Gala 2022 Due To Work

Zendaya is choosing work over social events, as the actor recently shared the news with her fans that she will be skipping the Met Gala for the third time 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,” the actress told Extra on Wednesday at the “Euphoria” For Your Consideration Emmys event.

However, she confirmed that this is nothing permanent and that she will make her Met Gala return in the future, assuring, "I'll be back, though, eventually."

The “Dune” star also promised that, as always, she will make up for her absence throughout the year in some way or the other. “I’ll keep delivering in other ways,” she laughed.

The last time Zendaya was spotted on the Met Gala red carpet was back in 2019. The “Spider-Man: No Way Home” star looked stunning in a “Cinderella” gown that magically transformed colors — which was designed by her stylist, Law Roach, per Page Six.

Her most recent red carpet appearance was at the 94th annual Academy Awards. The actress took to Instagram stories to flex her glam look, captioning a red carpet photo of her look, "Every now and then I do my own beat," according to People.

In 2019, when Zendaya became the brand ambassador for the beauty brand Lancôme, she spoke about how she loves experimenting with her looks. "It's really about trying, failing, and trying again. Over time, learning to do my makeup became about taking different techniques, and products, from people I liked and putting them into my Rolodex. Then it was a matter of trial-and-error. I'd go out on the red carpet and later look at photos. Sometimes, I'd be like, 'Ooh, I look like a ghost,' so then I'd fix it the next time around," she explained.

Zendaya is currently filming "Challengers," a movie about the high-stakes world of competitive tennis, according to E!Online.
