EXCLUSIVE: BEHIND THE SNUB: SJP SKIPS MET GALA — AND ANNA WINTOUR ISN’T HAPPY
“If Sarah Jessica Parker Wanted to Go, She Would. She’s the Boss,” Spills Insider — “She Just Didn’t Want To”
Sarah Jessica Parker says she’s too busy to attend this year’s Met Gala — but insiders tell #ShuterScoop the truth is a little more complicated than a scheduling conflict.
“She’s the boss,” a fashion industry source says flatly. “If Sarah wanted to be there, she’d move heaven, earth, and an And Just Like That… shoot day. But this year? She just didn’t want to.”
The 60-year-old red carpet legend, who’s dazzled at the Met Gala for nearly three decades, is officially out for Monday’s event. Her reason? Work obligations. But the timing has raised eyebrows — especially with the gala’s theme, Superfine, focused on Black fashion history, a subject insiders say SJP would typically support.
“This is more than work,” the source adds. “There’s tension. She and Anna Wintour have had some distance lately, and this is her quiet way of opting out.”
Wintour, who runs the guest list with the precision of a royal wedding planner, wa “surprised and disappointed” to learn Parker wouldn’t be walking the iconic steps.
“SJP helped define what the Met Gala red carpet could be,” a longtime fashion insider says. “No one wore McQueen or Oscar quite like her. For her to skip it? It sends a message.”
Still, Parker kept it gracious on the record, telling Entertainment Tonight, “I care a lot about it… I can’t wait to see how everyone interprets the theme.”
Translation? Have fun without me.
While she may be skipping the party of the year, SJP still reigns supreme in the eyes of fans — and if this was a snub, it’s the most stylish one of the season.
