ok.co.uk:

The stars and their outfits were out in full force for the Met Gala on Monday night. Despite what the pictures look like, not all the A-listers have the best time at the event.

Demi Lovato once spilled about the experience they had at the Gala, calling it "unpleasant". “This one celebrity was a complete b***h and was miserable to be around.

It was very cliquey. I remember being so uncomfortable that I wanted to drink,” they previously told Billboard magazine.The singer isn't the only one with this perception, and in 2018 Zayn Malik told GQ about his experiences attending the Met Gala after being convinced to go by a former stylist.

He confessed: “Now, it's not something I would go to. I'd rather be sitting at my house, doing something productive, than dressing up in really expensive clothes and being photographed on a red carpet … To do the self-indulgent ‘Look at me, I'm amazing’ thing on the red carpet, it's not me.” Feeling like an outcast at the event was something Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon knows too well.The model recalls being grateful for her invite but she found being "shoved into a room", with people and talking to them was not an easy task.
