From Paris Hilton’s long-awaited Met Gala debut to the surprising absence of other pop cultural icons, find out which celebrities have yet to grace the iconic steps
The Met Gala came, saw, and conquered. We saw so many of our favorite celebrities, as well as the event’s mainstays, but this year, there’s one celebrity who made her Met Gala debut that has everyone buzzing: Paris Hilton. The original influencer and reality TV star made her first appearance on the iconic Met steps for the first time ever, and we couldn’t be happier.

Paris Hilton is no stranger to making a statement with her fashion choices. From her iconic Juicy Couture tracksuits to her bedazzled mini dresses, Paris has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to trends, so it’s no surprise that she’s been eagerly anticipating her Met Gala debut for years. Fans have been speculating her look since she announced her attendance a little while back. Today, she graced the steps with Marc Jacobs as she was clad in a sleek black gown decorated with a flower choker, bringing in her original Hilton flare.
As excited as we are for Paris’s look, it’s also a little bit bizarre that she’s never attended the event before. After all, she is one of the biggest celebrities of our generation. But did you know that even these stars still haven’t attended any Met Gala?
Adele
We all know that Adele is a queen of music and vocals, but she’s also a queen of being lowkey. Despite her massive success, Adele has managed to keep a relatively low profile when it comes to attending events. And hey, who can blame her? If we had her voice, we’d be singing in our showers all day, too.
Britney Spears
It goes without saying that Britney has been through a lot, and we’re rooting for her every step of the way. But it’s crazy to think that one of the biggest pop icons of our generation has never graced the Met steps. Maybe it’s time for a comeback performance, Brit?
Mariah Carey
Yes, we’re still actually really shook about this. But then again, with her impressive vocal range and songwriting skills, Mariah is probably too busy crafting her next hit to worry about fashion’s biggest night of the year.
