In an unexpected turn of events, fans of Priyanka Chopra Jonas will miss the opportunity to admire the star at the 2024 Met Gala. The Indian actress, who previously made a striking statement on the Met Gala’s red carpet and even met her now-husband Nick Jonas at the event, has announced that she will not be participating this year due to filming engagements.
Addressing the media while promoting the documentary ‘Tiger’, Chopra revealed to Access Hollywood that her current filming schedule will prevent her from attending the glamorous event. “I don’t even know who’s going this year. I’m definitely not attending this year because I’m filming, but I think I really do enjoy watching people’s creativity during the Met Gala, and I am really excited to see how it will turn out. I actually have not read anything about who all is going this year,” said the former Miss World.
When it was mentioned that actress Zendaya, known for her compelling presence and fashion-forward choices, would be attending, Chopra responded with enthusiasm. “She’s amazing, so we definitely look forward to her.”
The Met Gala in 2024, with the theme ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’ and an official dress code of ‘The Garden of Time’, is poised to be a showcase of fantastical couture and imaginative styles. As the attendees prepare to embody this year’s concept, fashion enthusiasts and celebrity watchers are eagerly anticipating a night that intertwines fairy tale whimsy and fashion.
The event, which has been likened to the Oscars for its prestige and exclusivity in the fashion realm, has already confirmed an array of celebrities set to ascend the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s renowned staircase in New York City. Stars including Rihanna, Gisele Bundchen, and Kendall Jenner are confirmed to attend, along with new talents such as Lily Gladstone and Ayo Edebiri, who are expected to bring new vitality to the gala.
Securing a spot at the Met Gala is a coveted and restricted honor, with tickets costing a steep USD 50,000 each and the final guest list subject to the discretion of Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour. The 2024 iteration of the gala features co-chairs that include the luminescent Zendaya, famed actor Chris Hemsworth, music phenomenon Bad Bunny, and the multifaceted Jennifer Lopez, whose appearance is rumored to be in a Ralph Lauren ensemble.
Turning the focus to Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s professional front, she is actively preparing for her role in the anticipated Hollywood blockbuster ‘Heads of State’. Additionally, Bollywood fans are awaiting her presence in Farhan Akhtar’s directorial venture ‘Jee Le Zaraa’, where she will star alongside esteemed actresses Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt. Although the project was announced some time ago, further details have been scarce.
Chopra Jonas’s absence will be felt by fans and fashionistas alike at the Met Gala 2024. Still, with her thriving career in film, her spirit of creativity and passion for her craft continues to resonate with audiences around the world. As lights shine on the ‘Garden of Time’ at this year’s gala, Priyanka Chopra Jonas will doubtlessly be making her own magic on set, contributing to the diverse and enchanting landscape of global entertainment.
