The seating plan see’s the likes of Addison Rae at the same table as Beyonce;
Other Tiktok and Youtube star’s on the mock seating plan include James Charles and Charlie D’Amilio.

On 14th August, Page Six reported that some of the A-list celebrities are annoyed at the guest list.
A celebrity publicist with A-list clients stated; “Personally, I don’t think the Met is cool anymore … It’s gone from super prestigious to [being] full of influencers.”
Two highly speculated influencer’s that will be in attendance are Emma Chamberlain and Addison Rae.
On the flip side, this year’s gala is focussing on celebrating young talent.
A source told The New York Post “Any of the old guard who are complaining simply didn’t get invited — it’s just sour grapes.”
The Met Gala is scheduled for 13th September, and the theme is “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion”.
