Jennifer Aniston on Why She Skips the Met Gala
Jennifer Aniston, beloved star of “Friends,” has opened up about why she always skips out on the prestigious Met Gala. Despite being invited, Jennifer revealed to Glamour that the high fashion event just isn’t her cup of tea. For her, the thought of donning a full-on couture ensemble and waltzing down the famous Met Gala staircase is more overwhelming than exciting.
In her own words, Jennifer shared, “Yes, I have [been invited], but I don’t go. It overwhelms me.” She went on to explain that she’s more of a “jeans and flip-flops and tank top” kind of girl, preferring a more casual vibe over the glitz and glamour of the red carpet. As she puts it, the whole getting dolled up and posing for the cameras routine can be a mental challenge for her.
While Jennifer Aniston is no stranger to red carpets and has rocked some stunning looks at past events, she’s always felt a bit out of her comfort zone when it comes to striking the perfect pose. In fact, she admitted in a previous InStyle interview that figuring out how to pose on the red carpet has never felt natural to her. Yet, despite her apprehensions, Jennifer still manages to shine when she attends these star-studded events.
As we eagerly await the premiere of the fourth season of “The Morning Show” this September, it’s likely we’ll see Jennifer grace the Emmy Awards red carpet once again. Even though she may avoid the Met Gala like the plague, Jennifer Aniston’s undeniable charm and timeless style continue to captivate fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
And when it comes to her decision to skip the Met Gala, Jennifer is in good company. Hollywood heavyweights like Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitt have also opted out of attending the exclusive fundraising event where tickets come with a hefty price tag. So, rest assured, Jennifer Aniston is just being true to herself by choosing to steer clear of the Met Gala madness.
