Billy Porter Speaks Out After Not Getting Invited Back To Met Gala Following Anna Wintour Comments!

How can this even happen?! Well… more on that later…

Fashion ICON Billy Porter revealed on Wednesday while chatting on the Bevelations podcast that he hasn’t been to the Met Gala since 2019… Because he hasn’t been invited! He said:

“I’m not going. I have not been invited. I haven’t been invited back since 2019. That’s the only time I’ve ever gone, and the only time I’ve ever been invited. I was invited by Ryan Murphy that year.”

Whaaat?!

The actor continued:

“Last year was Black dandyism, and I was not invited. I’m just going to throw that out there, [but] I’m good. The reality is, when people ask me, you need to know I was not invited and I’m good.”

Seriously, he would’ve been perfect! We mean, he WOWed at the 2019 Met Gala where the theme was “Camp: Notes on Fashion”, no doubt. Take a look at his outfit from that year (below):

Stunning!!

Wrapping up his thoughts, Billy said:

“I don’t go to places where I’m not welcome. I’ve earned the invitation, and it’s OK that it hasn’t happened [again] because there’s a level that I’ve reached that doesn’t require validation from the outside. I’m going to sit and live in that because it helps keep me sane, too.”

See the interview for yourself (below):

What a bummer.

Sadly, it seems Billy’s invitation may have got “revoked” after his comments about Anna Wintour in 2023. CLICK HERE to read about that! But now that Anna has retired, perhaps he’ll get a second chance one of these days. Everyone deserves one!

Thoughts, Perezcious readers?
