2022 will mark the second time Zendaya had to break the news to fans that she will not be at the red carpet spectacle.

The star did not attend the 2021 Met Gala due to scheduling conflicts with Euphoria.

"I will be on Euphoria,” Zendaya told Extra TV ahead of the 2021 extravaganza.

“My fans are going to be very upset with me. I will unfortunately not be able to attend because I'll be working for Euphoria.”

She further revealed: "I got my time off to come here and do this Venice [Film Festival] experience, which has been really, really special."

2019 was the last time the Spider-Man actress showed out for Vogue's Met Ball.

For the 2019 theme, Camp: Notes on Fashion, Zendaya donned a Cinderella-esque ball gown and was accompanied by her stylist, Law Roach.

When was Met Gala 2022?

The Met Gala was Monday, May 2 and the theme is Gilded Glamour.

The event was at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and guests arrived around 5.30pm with parties late into the night.

Regarding the theme of the 2022 edition, Vogue stated: "The 2022 Met Gala will ask its attendees to embody the grandeur—and perhaps the dichotomy—of Gilded Age New York."

"The period... was one of unprecedented prosperity, cultural change, and industrialization, when both skyscrapers and fortunes seemingly arose overnight."

Although Zendaya is not attending in 2022, she is starring in numerous projects throughout the year
