Pop singer Harry Styles will not attend this year’s Met Gala hosted by Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, according to the British publication, The Sun. Reportedly, he took this decision so that he can concentrate on his tour and avoid a run-in with his ex-girlfriends. On the Met Gala guest list this year are his ex-girlfriends Kendall Jenner, Olivia Wilde and Cara Delevingne and Emily Ratajkowski, who he was spotted kissing in a viral video from Tokyo.

A source said in the matter, “Harry loves the Met Gala and expressing himself through fashion, especially after he co-chaired the event in 2019, but he is too busy. It’s a welcome relief as there would be so much buzz around him rubbing shoulders with Emily and all his exes. The whole event is like a goldfish bowl and every move is snapped on the red carpet. He’s happier focusing on his music and craft for now.”
