Rachel Zegler Receives Met Gala Invite, Skips Due to Rehearsals

Rachel Zegler, the star of Disney's 'Snow White,' has received an invite to the 2025 Met Gala, themed 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' scheduled for May 5. Despite the significant honor, Zegler will not attend as she will be in London rehearsing for her role in the West End production of 'Evita,' which opens June 14. The invitation comes amid controversy surrounding her portrayal in the film, which has faced backlash and poor box office performance, reportedly losing $115 million. Zegler's outspoken views on social media have drawn criticism, with some insiders at Disney labeling her behavior as problematic. The Gala will be co-chaired by notable figures including Colman Domingo and LeBron James, with a star-studded guest list that includes Lizzo and Shakira. Although she won't be present, Zegler's invite to the prestigious event highlights her prominence in the fashion and film industry despite the challenges she faces.
