Oh no! it looks like one of the MET Gala’s top dressers will not be attending the star-studded event this year. Zendaya has confessed to Extra this week that she is simply too busy to show up this year.

“I will be on Euphoria,” quipped the Spiderman: No Way Home star. “My fans are going to be very upset with me,” she’s right about that one, but at least they will get a new season of the hit HBO show.

“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.”

Fans will miss out on the fashion icons look this year and needless to say, we are wondering who will try to take the spot of adding an element of surprise to their gown.

Zendaya famously transformed into Cinderella at the 2019 MET gala using a Tommy Hilfiger gown. In 2018, she wore a Joan of Arc-inspired Versace dress. In 2015, she stunned in a Puglisi gown that looked like some sort of witch-goddess.

She is never one to disappoint but unfortunately, her great energy and high fashion will have to dip out this year. On a brighter note, her career is on an upward trajectory.

“They are not going to go out of their way to broadcast their relationship but are very aware that they now have the world’s attention.”

Unfortunately, anyone hoping for a spectacular couple outfit from Holland and the actress will have to wait until 2022 MET Gala… maybe. Chances are the actor didn’t get an invite and as Zendaya said, she is busy.
