MET Gala: The Fashion Event With a Notorious Love Curse?
The MET Gala, known for its dazzling fashion and star-studded appearances, has garnered an unusual reputation — a "curse" that purportedly afflicts couples who pose together on its iconic stairs. While many attendees experience long-lasting love, several high-profile pairings have unraveled post-event, sparking speculation among fans.
Take Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson, who appeared together at the 2022 Gala. Their relationship, which began in 2021, ended shortly after the event, attributed to demanding schedules and long-distance challenges. Similarly, "Riverdale" stars Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse separated just months after posing together at the 2019 MET Gala.
Other notable couples also fell victim to this alleged curse. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, who graced the Gala in 2019, ended their tumultuous on-and-off relationship that same year. Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik made headlines for their split in 2021, following years of a passionate, but turbulent romance. Their 2016 red carpet appearance marked the start of frequent breakups.
Selena Gomez and The Weeknd called it quits after a brief 10-month romance following their appearance in 2017, while Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have frequently parted ways since their 2018 appearance, ultimately deciding to end their relationship for good in 2023.
The list doesn’t stop there; even Hailey Bieber and Shawn Mendes faced a brief fallout after the 2018 Gala. And in 2022, Phoebe Bridgers and Paul Mescal ended their relationship shortly after attending together.
Although some couples like A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have thrived post-Gala, the recurring trend of star breakups has left many wondering if the MET Gala is more than just a fashion milestone; might it truly bear the weight of a curse?
