Many celebrities have strong opinions about the Met Gala — but some stick to their convictions more than others.
Gwyneth Paltrow was one of the first stars to publicly admit that she didn’t have a great time at the fundraiser for The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
“Do you want me to be honest? … It sucked,” Paltrow told USA Today in 2013. “It seems like it’s the best thing in the world, you always think, ‘Oh, my God, it’s gonna be so glamorous and amazing and you’re going to see all these people,’ and then you get there and it’s so hot and it’s so crowded and everyone’s pushing you.”
The Oscar winner added that it’s “so un-fun,” “boiling,” “too crowded” and she “did not enjoy it at all.” Despite declaring, “I’m never going again,” Paltrow returned to the Met steps in 2017 and 2019.
