The Internet Is Upset Over Fashion Influencer Wisdom Kaye Not Being Invited To The 2025 Met Gala
This is popular TikTok fashion influencer and model, Wisdom Kaye. You've probably seen him on your timeline showcasing unbelievable costume changes based on pop culture. My favorite is when he revealed looks based on Avatar: The Last Airbender characters. Last year, Wisdom brought his fan-favorite fashion sense to the Met Gala where he wore Robert Wun. Widsom perfectly exemplified the theme in a rose-inspired red suit. Last year's exhibit was Sleeping Beauties: Rewakening Fashion, and the theme was "The Garden of Time." So, based on his internet popularity and attendance last year, it's no surprise that everyone expected him to attend the Met Gala this year, primarily because of this year's theme. This year's Met Gala exhibit is Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, and the theme is "Tailored for You." It's based on Monica L. Miller's 2009 book, Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. It would make sense for Wisdom to attend again. Well, he's not, and fans are upset.

I was sitting next to Jack Harlow and Shou Chew, the CEO of this app. That's the only reason I went there, because they bought a table." On May 4, Wisdom confirmed that he would not be attending the Met Gala with an X post, writing, "I was not invited to the met, I know you guys wanna see me there so just letting y'all know. Looking forward to seeing all the beautiful interpretations of black dandyism tmrw :)." The fans did not take the news well, and many took to the internet to express their frustration.
