Chrissy Teigen is setting the record straight on her 2024 Met Gala absence.
After the cookbook author posted an Instagram Story selfie on Monday with a neck brace, joking that she was “@ the Met,” she called herself “so stupid” for sparking concern.
She explained, “This is not why I’m not at the Met. I was never going to the Met this year. Please. I’m so stupid for having made this a thing. I’m sorry.”
The “Chrissy’s Court” star, who hasn’t attended the ball since 2017, clarified that she is “fine” and “OK” after injuring herself.
“Everybody is reaching out,” Teigen, 38, said. “It’s just a CVS neck band, and I just can’t rotate my neck because I tried to do a headstand and it didn’t go well at all. There’s no story. I promise, that’s it.”
The “Bring the Funny” judge went on to document her evening in the kitchen, breaking up her cooking content to react to the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”-themed red carpet.
Teigen has attended multiple Met Galas with her husband, John Legend, since her 2011 debut in a black Chris March dress.
The “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit” model’s last look was a sheer, feathery Marchesa gown in 2017.
The following year, the then-pregnant star missed the event to stay at home watching “Vanderpump Rules.”
“waiting for my turn on the carpet at #metgala!!!! always an honor!!!” she joked in a May 2018 Instagram post.

Teigen gave birth to son Miles, now 5, later that same month, with the little one joining big sister Luna, now 8.
In September 2020, Teigen suffered a pregnancy loss and delivered late son Jack at 20 weeks.
She and Legend, 45, have since gone on to expand their family with daughter Esti, 1, and son Wren, 10 months.
