Priyanka Chopra's look from the Met Gala has always been a hot topic of conversation. For years, the actor has given multiple headline-making fashion moments with her bold and experimental style. However, in 2026, she may not appear on the red carpet of the event.
Priyanka Chopra to miss Met Gala 2026
According to a report by Variety India, Priyanka is unlikely to attend the Met Gala set to happen on May 4 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is said that the decision has been taken due to her packed professional schedule, and her existing commitments make it difficult for her to travel to the fashion event.
Why Priyanka may skip the Met Gala
As per British Vogue, the actor is currently occupied with ongoing projects, which clash with the timing of the gala, noting that "she could be “otherwise engaged on the first Monday in May - in Antarctica, no less, where she is filming Varanasi."
