So, why were Khloé and Kourtney the only Kardashians not attending the Met Gala this year?
Their sisters had jaws dropping on the blue carpet
As always, the 2025 Met Gala was a star-studded affair, with the Kardashian-Jenner family making their usual glamorous appearances. However, two notable absences stood out among the sisters – Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian. While Kim Kardashian, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner graced the blue carpet this year, Khloé and Kourtney chose to sit this one out despite previously attending the Met Gala in the past.
Khloé Kardashian skips out on Met Gala
Khloé Kardashian has never been one to seek the limelight. Despite being invited to the Met Gala in the past, she has consistently opted not to attend. In a candid moment on The Kardashians, Khloé once said: “I just opted not to go. I’m not big on red carpets. I think I’ve made that very clear.”
Her sister Kim Kardashian has been supportive of Khloé’s decisions, but she was also seen encouraging her to attend in the past.
Kim said: “Khloé has always been really nervous to go to the Met. So I was like, ‘You’re gonna look amazing. You’re gonna use my glam. We’re gonna get ready together. We’re gonna make this the best experience ever’.”
Despite her absence at this year’s Met, Khloé remained a supportive sister, sharing posts and stories of her family’s blue carpet moments on social media.
She also wished all her followers a ‘Happy Met Monday’ on the ‘gram.
By the looks of her IG Stories, Khloé hung out with her kids and supported her family from home!
Speaking to Bustle last year, KoKo explained how she’s more selective about what she gets up to these days:
“When I first started in this industry, people would be like, ‘Here’s X amount of money if you wear this sweater… And I was like, ‘You get paid to wear a sweater?!’ It was such a foreign concept to me and I was so excited. But I don’t just want to promote something that I really don’t stand behind. I could be doing cash grabs all day long if I didn’t have a conscience. I could be on OnlyFans, I could be doing crazy things — but that’s not my thing.”
Kourtney might prioritise her family over the Met
Kourtney Kardashian’s decision to skip the Met Gala most likely aligns with her focus on family life.
She’s big on family and, in 2024, she welcomed her son, Rocky, with husband Travis Barker. Since then, they’ve opted out of the Met Gala.
Kourtney and Travis attended the Met in 2022, and the pair iconically donned Thom Browne outfits.
Since then, the two haven’t been seen at the event for the past two years. Kravis’s last red carpet sighting was at the 2023 Emmy Awards back in January.
While the Met Gala is a significant event in the fashion world, Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian have seemingly made personal choices that align with their values and lifestyles.
Khloé’s preference for privacy and Kourtney’s focus on family life appear to be central to their decisions to skip the 2025 Met Gala. As for Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, well, his superfandom of the Knicks actually took over this year!
