The 2021 Met Gala<\/strong> will take place this September with a focus on American fashion<\/strong> \u2014 and despite fans being desperate for a massive fashion<\/strong><\/a> fiesta, they\u2019re not happy about the event\u2019s rumored guest list.<\/p>\n The annual fundraiser brings together A-List stars from all across the arts to dress up in their best finery, always designed around a central theme.<\/p>\n From 2018\u2019s \u2018Heavenly Bodies<\/strong>\u2019 to 2019\u2019s \u2018Camp,\u2019 the Met Gala<\/strong> has given us some iconic looks that aren\u2019t falling out of the public consciousness anytime soon\u2026 but some fashion fans<\/strong> are concerned that the Gala<\/span> is losing its reputation as a high-class<\/strong> affair.<\/p>\n In 2019, several social media<\/a> stars attended the Met Gala, Liza Koshy and James Charles among them.<\/p>\n These influencers<\/a> were met with harsh backlash from critics, who felt that the YouTubers<\/strong> weren\u2019t famous enough to earn a spot at the prestigious event. A celebrity agent also told PageSix that a slew of other influencers are purportedly attending, which seems to track with the fact that Instagram<\/strong><\/a> and Facebook are sponsoring the Gala. \u201cI\u2019m just gonna<\/span> say it, no one wants to see Addison Rae<\/span> at the met gala<\/span>,\u201d one commenter tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\nThe Met Gala is one of the biggest celebrity events of the year.<\/h4>\n
It seems this pattern is repeating itself in 2021, after the Met Gala was canceled in 2020 due to global health concerns. This year, the Gala\u2019s theme is American fashion \u2014 and it\u2019s purportedly including some online talent in its troupe.
While the Gala does not comment on their guest list prior to the event, as The Costume Institute\u2019s Chief External Relations Officer recently told PageSix, it seems that several leaks have surfaced claiming that TikTok star Addison Rae<\/strong><\/span> and YouTuber Emma Chamberlain<\/strong> are among the invitees.<\/p>\n
Both Rae<\/strong> and Chamberlain<\/strong> have yet to comment on their potential inclusion in the event, but that isn\u2019t stopping commenters from brutally berating them for being invited to the Gala<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
