Billie Eilish, the pop icon known for pushing boundaries with her music and fashion, was noticeably absent from the 2024 Met Gala. This marked the first time she hasn’t attended since her debut in 2021, where she served as a co-chair alongside Amanda Gorman and Timothée Chalamet.
Eilish’s Met Gala history is one of stunning looks and memorable moments. In 2021, she turned heads in a voluminous Oscar de la Renta gown, a complete departure from her signature baggy style. The following year, she embraced the “Gilded Glamour” theme with a custom Gucci corset dress. Last year, she donned another corset, this time by Simone Rocha, for the “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” tribute.
While the reason for her absence remains unconfirmed, it likely coincides with the upcoming release of her new album, “Hit Me Hard and Soft,” on May 17th. With listening parties planned and a world tour kicking off in September, Eilish’s schedule is undoubtedly packed.
Despite missing the 2024 event, Eilish’s legacy at the Met Gala is secure. Her co-chairing role and trendsetting outfits solidified her status as a fashion force. With her ever-evolving style and artistic vision, it’s only a matter of time before she graces the Met Gala red carpet once again salme.info/.
