AceShowbiz - Amid the glitz and glamour of the 2024 Met Gala, Chrissy Teigen's absence was noticeably marked by a series of Instagram posts that had fans and friends alike expressing concern and curiosity.
The cookbook author and model, known for her candid social media presence and sense of humor, inadvertently sparked rumors when she posted a selfie wearing a neck brace, jokingly suggesting she was "@ the Met." However, Teigen was quick to clarify the misunderstanding, emphasizing that her Met Gala absence was not health-related but instead a personal choice, as she hadn't planned on attending the event this year.
Teigen, 38, revealed that the neck brace resulted from an unfortunate attempt at doing a headstand, leading to a minor injury. "It's a CVS neck brace. And I just can't rotate my neck 'cause I tried to do a headstand and it didn't go well. That's all," Teigen shared in a follow-up Instagram Story. Despite the initial concern from fans, Teigen reassured everyone, stating, "Oh, my God. I'm fine. I'm OK," and apologized for inadvertently making it a thing, recognizing the unnecessary worry her post caused.
The model and "Chrissy's Court" star hasn't graced the Met Gala carpet since 2017, where she dazzled alongside her husband, John Legend, in a sheer, feathery Marchesa gown.
The couple, who met in 2009 and married in 2013, share four children: daughters Luna, 8, and Esti, 15 months, and sons Miles, 5, and Wren, 10 months. Teigen, always one to share glimpses of her family life and personal anecdotes, also humorously mentioned an interaction with her doctor about not being able to take a blood test due to eating bacon-wrapped dates, showcasing her relatable and humorous side to her 42 million followers.
While the Teigen-Legend family did not attend this year's "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion"-themed Met Gala, the couple made a stylish appearance at the King's Trust Global Gala in NYC, proving that their fashion-forward moments aren't confined to the Met's iconic stairs.
Chrissy Teigen's quick dispelling of the Met Gala rumors and neck brace concerns not only set the record straight but also shed light on the immediate impact and widespread reach of social media among celebrities and their audiences.
