It’s Over! Don’t Expect to See Zayn Malik at The Met Gala Ever Again

I’d rather be sitting at my house, doing something productive, than dressing up in really expensive clothes

He might have turned heads in his metallic arm-piece look designed in collaboration with Versace at the 2016 Met Gala, but former boybander Zayn Malik didn’t have much fun at the event. In fact, he has never set foot on the red carpet of the event ever again. We can now reveal why!

In an interview with GQ, Malik made some ‘un stylish’ comments about the event which will most probably prompt the Vogue Events team to add his name on the list of those people ‘not allowed at the premises’ of the event.

“I did go, but I didn’t go there to be like, ‘Yo, take me serious,’ ” Malik told the magazine of his attendance in 2016. “The Met Gala is not necessarily anything that I ever knew about or was about. But my [former] stylist…would say to me, ‘This is really good for you to do.’ And no matter how strong you are mentally, you can always be swayed to do certain things. 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.”

The pop star, though, was quick to say he understands why some “people” (such as his famous model girlfriend Gigi Hadid) enjoy the event.

“I get it, and I understand that people gain enjoyment from it,” he told the magazine. When asked if he watched this year’s show via the Vogue live-stream from his couch, Malik said: “No, no.” Though he added, “Gi stole the night, though. The stained glass on her dress. Everyone else just put a cross on.”

This is sad! I can’t believe we shall never see Malik or his good looks at the Oscars of fashion again… Tears…
