Jack Schlossberg Urges 2025 Met Gala Boycott

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy and former Vogue political correspondent, has publicly called for a boycott of the 2025 Met Gala, criticizing its opulence and celebrity focus amid global crises, especially the war in Gaza. He addressed Anna Wintour, Vogue's editor-in-chief and Met Gala co-chair, stating he cannot attend 'in good conscience' and urging others to join him, labeling the event a 'pathetic event for corporate interests.' Schlossberg also criticized Vogue for its silence on political issues, arguing fashion is inherently political and that the publication should use its influence for advocacy. Instead of attending, he announced plans to launch his own live news channel. The Met Gala, which raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, has recently faced scrutiny for its lavishness during times of global hardship. It remains unclear whether Schlossberg was invited, but his stance has ignited discussion about fashion, politics, and social responsibility.
