Sarah Jessica Parker might be skipping the Met Gala

Sarah Jessica Parker always makes a statement at the Met Gala, whether she’s showing up in a meme-worthy headpiece or hitting the red carpet in a divisive dress.

But at this year’s American fashion-themed event, the ever-stylish “Sex and the City” star might be MIA — along with her BFF, Andy Cohen.

“I’m taking a year off,” Cohen, 53, told “Access Hollywood” on Tuesday when asked about his plans for the September shindig.

“My date is filming this year. She’s filming ‘And Just Like That…,'” he added.

Parker, 56, has attended the Met Gala with Cohen no fewer than five times in the past, and when the 2020 ball was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the pair still celebrated together — from a safe distance, of course.

Sarah Jessica Parker is always one of the Met Gala's most anticipated guests -- and her date is always BFF Andy Cohen. This year, however, Parker revealed on her Instagram that the pair could not attend due to her travel schedule and Cohen's work. There's always next year — we miss her epic headpieces!

This year’s gala is set for September 13, with Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Naomi Osaka and Amanda Gorman hosting. All guests will be required to show proof of vaccination, and must remain masked while indoors.

The event usually takes place on the first Monday in May, but the first Monday in September is Labor Day — and as one insider told us, “Even Anna Wintour can’t change a federal holiday.”

SJP has been hard at work filming the much-anticipated “Sex and the City” reboot this summer, so perhaps her shooting schedule conflicts with the big night.

But one thing’s for sure: Even if she skips the Met to work, we’re sure Parker will still make headlines with her outfits.
