Met Gala 2026, Zoe Kravitz Avoids Engagement Talks At Red Carpet, Why BF Harry Styles Skipped Event?

The biggest fashion extravaganza, the 78th Met Gala, is taking place today, on May 5, 2026 (ET). It is a spectacular showcase of fashion’s finest, graced by popular figures from around the world. From Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, to Kim Kardashian, the star power of the event is unmatched. Amid the sea of celebs, fans were eagerly awaiting the arrival of one power couple who have been making significant noise lately. They are Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz. The couple’s engagement news is all over the internet; however, the duo carefully avoided the topic at the Gala.

Zoe Kravitz didn’t let her engagement talks overshadow the buzz around her Met Gala 2026 look

Zoe Kravitz is a member of the host committee for the Met Gala 2026, which is themed ‘Costume Art’ and has a dress code of ‘Fashion Is Art’. The 37-year-old actress is absolutely unwilling to fuel the buzz around her engagement with Harry Styles. She reportedly avoided the topic at the fashion extravaganza by hiding her new engagement ring from Harry Styles while walking the red carpet. Despite the intense public interest in her relationship status, she chose to maintain privacy during the high-profile event. Zoe covered her left hand with a black lace glove, leading fans to believe it was a move to keep the ring concealed.

Zoe Kravitz’s Met Gala 2026 look decoded

Zoe’s 2026 Met Gala look can be described as a ‘gothic dream’. She opted for a custom Saint Laurent gown by Anthony Vaccarello, which balanced historical references with her signature edgy style. The long sleeves of the full-length, unlined black lace gown added the right amount of drama and style to the fit. The figure-hugging dress also featured a basque waist and a unique neckline. One of the most talked-about features of the outfit was the inclusion of pockets. According to some reports, she used them to tuck her left hand away, hiding her massive new engagement ring from Harry Styles.

Zoe Kravitz’s alleged fiancé, Harry Styles, skipped the Met Gala 2026. What was the reason?

Zoe Kravitz, the longtime Saint Laurent ambassador, attended the 2026 Met Gala with the fashion house’s creative director, Anthony Vaccarello. It disappointed the fans, who expected her to show up with her alleged fiancé, Harry Styles. The Watermelon Sugar singer skipped the fashion extravaganza, citing work calls. The primary reason for his absence was his intense rehearsal schedule for the Together, Together tour. However, fans felt that his decision was also driven by his wish to avoid engagement talks, much like his ladylove, Zoe Kravitz. Notably, Harry is not a regular attendee of the Met, having only graced the red carpet once before in 2019 when he served as a co-chair.
