Why Kristen Stewart Skipped the 2024 Met Gala

The 2024 Met Gala has wrapped up its red carpet arrivals, and actress Kristen Stewart is not in attendance, despite being a frequent guest at the event since 2010. After recently completing her Love Lies Bleeding press tour, it’s possible the actress is taking a much-needed break from public appearances and lying low with her fiancée, Dylan Meyer.

Had Stewart brought Meyer with her to the red carpet, this would have marked their Met Gala debut as a couple. (Stewart and Meyer began dating in August 2019, soon going Instagram official. The Love Lies Bleeding star announced their engagement during an interview with Howard Stern in November 2021.)

Stewart attended last year’s gala, when the dress code was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” Dressed in a chic ensemble from Chanel that paid tribute to the brand’s late creative director, she wore a classic cropped white blazer with a black collar and a short black tie, loose-fitting black trousers, and black and white loafers. Her hair was chopped into a short, spiky ’do.

Stewart’s Met Gala debut arrived in 2010 when she was only 20 years old, when the theme was “American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity.” The young Twilight star posed for photos on the red carpet in a black dress with a geometric, asymmetrical neckline and a shimmering transparent skirt. She stepped into a pair of black peep-toe stiletto pumps and carried a small black clutch. Her hair was styled in an updo, and her makeup featured a dark smoky eye and a pink-nude lip.
