At Vogue's annual Met Gala, there are several occurrences that can always be counted upon: Rihanna will arrive late, someone will debut a shocking hairstyle, a new couple will make their debut, and Zoë Kravitz will wear a column dress. Though Riri stuck to tradition, Kravitz went for a shocking change-up—skipping not only her most trusted silhouette, but the event all together.
This year, the Blink Twice director and actor RSVPed "no" to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's May 5 soirée. Even among opulent outfits from stars like Dua Lipa, Lupita Nyong’o, and Gigi Hadid, Kravitz's absence was easily one of the most surprising moments of the entire evening.
