Back in 2004, he proposed to Melania Trump on the way to the event — a moment that grabbed a lot of attention from the American tabloids.

Over the years, though, the Met Gala has shifted in tone, especially when it comes to politics. Anna Wintour has said the event isn’t about politics, but rather about “beauty, creativity, and reflecting history.” Still, in reality, it seems like certain values play a bigger role when deciding who gets invited.

And apparently, Trump isn’t the only one who’s no longer welcome at the Gala.

According to The New York Times, several of the former president’s well-known allies were also missing this year — including Elon Musk, who’s been a regular guest in the past, as well as Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg.

This year’s theme was also quite political: Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, which focused on Black designers and how Black men and women have used fashion to push back against stereotypes.

Cultural critic Louis Piscano said the theme “sends a clear message.”
