In a bold move that has sparked both admiration and reflection, Jack Schlossberg, grandson of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, chose to sit out this year’s Met Gala—an event known for its glamour, exclusivity, and celebrity presence.
Citing global crises and humanitarian concerns, Schlossberg stated, “With so much going on in the world, I’ve chosen to boycott.” His decision stands out as a rare act of quiet protest in an age of social media statements and symbolic fashion.
While many celebrities used the Met Gala red carpet to express themselves through elaborate outfits, Schlossberg’s absence sent a clear and powerful message. Supporters have praised his action as a reminder that influence isn’t always shown by presence—but sometimes by purposeful absence.
As a member of one of America’s most iconic families, Schlossberg continues to echo the values of service, awareness, and moral clarity that have long been associated with the Kennedy legacy.
