Priyanka Chopra Jonas will not be attending the Met Gala 2026, scheduled for May 4 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, due to prior work commitments. Reports indicate that she will be filming in Antarctica for her project titled 'Varanasi.' This decision marks a significant departure from her consistent presence at the Met Gala, where she has made memorable appearances over the years, becoming a staple of the event. Her absence is particularly noticeable given her history of bold fashion choices that often sparked global conversations. Despite skipping this year's gala, fans can look forward to her participation in another major international event shortly after, ensuring her continued visibility in the fashion world.
