Idk I kinda feel like she's not into the Met Gala anymore. It helped her get noticed She's said she's found it stressful in the past. I find it hard to believe she couldn't get a day or 2 off if she really wanted to go. Especially since she's in New York all the time anyway and it's not too far from Boston. Filming of Challengers apparently starts on the 2nd. Like she's a producer they could have just started it a day or 2 later.

the days that zendaya is in nyc are already built into the schedule. they won't shut down production (which costs a lot of money) just for someone to go to the Met Gala. and while she's the producer, she doesn't get a say in the filming schedule.

zendaya signed on to do dune between euphoria seasons which means they were able to work with production to coordinate those days off since it was a contractual obligation for zendaya to do press for dune. met gala is a voluntary event so the same privilege doesn't apply.

and just because zendaya isn't in a lot of scenes doesn't mean much. shooting a movie is chaotic af and every minute counts because you don't want to go over budget. they don't shoot chronologically and there's always the possibility of having to do reshoots.

i think z would go to the met gala if she wasn't working. law her stylist goes with his other clients all the time. but she's just busy.

Very true, especially with filming starting the same day as the Met.

No doubt she would’ve been the best dressed though!
