It’s been over a decade since Donald Trump made an appearance at the Met Gala, but a resurfaced interview clip from 2017 might finally explain why he’s been absent from fashion’s most exclusive night. Before he entered politics,
Trump was a regular attendee, often seen walking the red carpet with Melania. However, since 2012, he’s been notably missing from the annual celebration, prompting speculation about whether he’s been banned.
Trump’s past appearances at the Met Gala showcased his signature look—black tuxedo, crisp white shirt, and carefully styled hair. Melania often complemented
his outfit in equally glamorous fashion. It was even at the 2005 Met Gala that he proposed to her, presenting a 12-carat emerald-cut diamond ring that made headlines.
