Selena Gomez was notably absent from the Met Gala for the sixth year in a row, a piece of news that has undoubtedly left her myriad of fans and the general public longing for her presence.

In the latest iteration of her Met Gala appearances, Selena Gomez last graced the event in 2018. That year, the gala celebrated the theme, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” The esteemed “Single Soon” artist was clad in a mesmerizing ivory tulle dress, which possessed an enchanting allure. However, despite the elegance of her attire, the assembly of her hair and makeup did not meet the mark, leading to what can be described as one of Selena’s most forgettable moments.

Confirmed by a source in contact with People, the reason behind Selena’s absence lies in her engagement with personal projects, including the production of the fourth season of her much-applauded series, “Only Murders in the Building.”

In addition to her acting commitments, Selena has been fervently working on her beauty brand, Rare Beauty. She also took an active part in a Mental Health Summit recently held in the United States. Reflecting on an episode from 2022 with Glamour UK, Selena openly regarded her decision for a tanned look as a mistake, albeit an unforgettable experience.

Apart from the unfortunate incident at the 2018 Met Gala, Selena Gomez has made her presence known at the event on four other occasions, specifically in the years 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. During these appearances, she was notably accompanied by her former beau, The Weeknd. On each of these instances, Selena showcased stunning beauty and glamour, earning high praises for her looks. Her ability to captivate the audience and fashion critics alike has solidified her status as a Met Gala favorite over the years.

Detailing the event, she said, “As I was getting ready for the Met Gala, we went for some tanning lotion that seemed perfect at that moment. Nevertheless, as the night progressed, the tan deepened significantly. Shocked at my own reflection in a photograph during the dinner, I felt horrendous despite being at what is considered the premier fashion event globally. My immediate reaction was to exit the venue.”

Selena Gomez isn’t the sole A-list celebrity to opt out of this year’s Met Gala. Other luminaries such as Blake Lively, Margot Robbie, Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift, were also absent from the event’s illustrious red carpet. Their collective non-attendance was conspicuous, as these stars are often the cynosure of all eyes and have historically made significant fashion statements at the gala.

Parallelly, Selena’s dear friend, Taylor Swift, also missed the fashion spectacle organized by Anna Wintour, marking her eighth successive absence. The primary reason is attributed to Swift’s crammed prelude to The Eras Tour, slated to commence in France on May 9.

Demonstrating her acumen not just in the entertainment industry but also in the business realm, Selena Gomez is equally renowned for her charitable endeavors. Her acclaimed personal brand, Rare Beauty, has recently made a significant philanthropic contribution, donating $7 million to various charitable causes. The 32-year-old star is also gearing up for the release of her latest venture, a new series titled “Selena + Restaurant,” which promises to add another feather to her already illustrious cap.

Furthermore, an informant shared with Us Weekly that discussions of marriage and family planning have taken place between Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. The former Disneystar is seemingly ready to embrace a settled life, convinced she has discovered her true love in Blanco: “He provides Selena with a sense of security and joy. The duo is convinced they are each other’s soulmates.”
