1. Rachel Zoe
Rachel Zoe was once rumoured to be quietly dropped from the Met Gala guest list after a bold statement she made years ago. In a chat with The New York Times, she said, \u201cAnna Wintour is one of my heroes, but they say that I\u2019m more influential. As great as it is, Vogue won\u2019t change a designer\u2019s business. But if an unknown brand is worn by a certain person in a tabloid, it will be the biggest designer within a week.\u201d The comment goes all the way back to 2007, and she did return to the Met in 2012, so clearly\u2014things weren\u2019t completely shut.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

2. Donald Trump
Donald Trump is the only name that\u2019s been officially confirmed as banned. Anna Wintour herself said in a 2017 interview with James Corden that he\u2019s someone she would never invite again. He had attended the gala several times earlier but hasn\u2019t been seen there since 2012.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

3. Amy Schumer
Amy Schumer made it very clear the Met Gala isn\u2019t her thing. In a 2016 interview with Howard Stern, she said, \u201cIt\u2019s people doing an impression of having a conversation,\u201d and added, \u201cI don\u2019t like the farce…We\u2019re dressed up like a bunch of fucking assholes. I don\u2019t like it. I have no interest in fashion…I don\u2019t care.\u201d Not officially banned, but safe to say she\u2019s not lining up for an invite.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

4. Tim Gunn
Tim Gunn has openly said he was banned\u2014and the reason is pretty wild. Speaking on Fashion Police in 2016, he said, \u201cIt is very true. It is a crazy story, and as far as I\u2019m concerned, it\u2019s a very matter-of-fact story,\u201d and then explained what happened: \u201cI was asked what is the most unforgettable thing I\u2019ve ever seen in fashion and I said, \u2018It\u2019s easy. It was watching Anna Wintour being carried down five flights of stairs by two bodyguards\u2014two big hulking men\u2014from a fashion show.\u2019 All hell broke loose. It was insane. We\u2019ve had an open war ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"5.<\/p>\n

5. Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow didn\u2019t really sugarcoat her Met Gala experience. Back in 2013, during an interview on the Kyle and Jackie O Show (via Us Weekly), she said, \u201cit sucked\u201d and \u201cit seems like it\u2019s the best thing in the world…You always think, Oh my god, it\u2019s gonna be so glamorous and amazing and you\u2019re going to see all these people, and then you get there and it\u2019s so hot and it\u2019s so crowded and everyone\u2019s pushing you. I think we\u2019re all a bit old to dress up punk.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

6. Zayn Malik
Zayn Malik did make an appearance at the Met Gala in 2016 with then-girlfriend Gigi Hadid, but that seems to have been a one-time thing for him. Speaking to GQ in 2018, he made it clear he\u2019s not keen on going back, saying, \u201cNow it\u2019s not something I would go to,\u201d and added, \u201cI\u2019d rather be sitting at my house doing something productive than dressing up in really expensive clothes and being photographed on a red carpet\u2026to do the self-indulgent \u2018look at me, I\u2019m amazing\u2019 thing on the red carpet, it\u2019s not me.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"7.<\/p>\n

7. Lili Reinhart
Lili Reinhart attended the Met Gala in 2022, but she has since hinted that her invite might not come again. The actor had publicly criticised Kim Kardashian\u2019s rapid weight loss to fit into a dress once worn by Marilyn Monroe for John F. Kennedy\u2019s 45th birthday. Later, in an interview with W Magazine, she reflected on the night, saying it \u201cwas fun, but after going again this year, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll be invited back…I said a certain something about a certain person in a certain dress.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"8.<\/p>\n

8. Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj is also rumoured to be off the 2026 Met Gala list. Back in February, Naughty But Nice\u2019s Rob Shuter reported that she may have been \u201cshut out\u201d following a series of politically charged remarks. An insider was quoted as saying, \u201cNicki\u2019s invitations didn\u2019t just slow down, they vanished. Hollywood stopped returning her calls. This isn\u2019t subtle anymore. She\u2019s been shut out.<\/p>\n
