Sarah Jessica Parker skips 2025 Met Gala due to work commitments

Sarah Jessica Parker, a longtime Met Gala attendee since 1995, will not be attending the 2025 event due to work commitments. In multiple interviews, Parker expressed her respect for the event and its curators, emphasizing her interest in seeing how others interpret this year's theme, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' She underscored that she values the cultural significance of the Gala and aims to honor the efforts of those who inspire the occasion. Despite her reputation as a fashion icon, Parker noted that her children do not seek her advice on style, approaching her as a parent rather than a fashion authority. The Met Gala remains a significant fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, and Parker voiced her continued support and anticipation for the event even in her absence.
