While this year's Met Gala saw plenty of standout looks on the carpet, Billie Eilish was not among them, as she was on tour in Europe.

Since then, Eillish attended the event in 2022 and 2023, for a total of three consecutive years. While the singer notably skipped the Met Gala 2024, fans were manifesting a triumphant return this year, so when she was nowhere to be seen on the Met Gala 2025 red carpet, fans began to wonder the reason for her absence — and she has a good one.
