\n\tZendaya<\/a> is sitting out fashion<\/a>\u2019s biggest night this year and will not attend the Met Gala<\/a> on Monday, according to Elle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe publication reports that the actress is taking a break from the spotlight after back-to-back press tours for her latest projects, The Drama<\/a> and Euphoria<\/a> season three.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe news comes just days before the annual fashion event amid a packed year<\/a> for the Emmy winner. A24\u2019s The Drama, in which she stars opposite Robert Pattinson, premiered April 3, while the long-awaited third season of Euphoria debuted on HBO April 12. Still ahead, Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey arrives July 17, Spider-Man: Brand New Day premieres July 31 and the third Dune film is set for Dec. 18.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hollywood Reporter reached out to representatives for Zendaya and the Costume Institute but did not hear back by the time of publication.<\/p>\n

\n\tZendaya has attended the Met Gala seven times since making her debut in 2015 and served as a co-chair in 2024. Last year, she appeared in an all-white Louis Vuitton suit.<\/p>\n

\n\tHer absence also means fans likely shouldn\u2019t expect a Met Gala appearance alongside Tom Holland ahead of their upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day release. Holland has never attended the event. While the couple has not publicly confirmed whether they are married, Zendaya\u2019s longtime stylist Law Roach said in March<\/a> at the Actor Awards that the pair had already tied the knot.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for Monday\u2019s event, Anna Wintour, Beyonc\u00e9, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams will serve as co-chairs. Confirmed guests include Sabrina Carpenter, Teyana Taylor, Zo\u00eb Kravitz, Chase Sui Wonders and Jeff Bezos. This year\u2019s exhibition theme, \u201cCostume Art,\u201d will spotlight the intersection of fashion and fine art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zendaya is sitting out fashion\u2019s biggest night this year and will not attend the Met Gala on Monday,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":561761,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,709,101251,192158,19345,56,54,55,24489],"class_list":["post-561760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-fashion","tag-met-gala","tag-met-gala-2026","tag-style","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-zendaya"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=561760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/561760\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/561761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=561760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=561760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=561760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
