TL;DR

Zendaya and Meryl Streep are reportedly skipping this year’s Met Gala amid backlash to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s sponsorship—the first time the event has a billionaire sponsor—with Zendaya taking a break after multiple press tours and Streep allegedly turning down a co-chair role due to Bezos’s involvement. The sponsorship has sparked protests, while organizers defend Sánchez’s lead role and the gala’s Costume Art theme and celebrity co-chairs.
