Chrissy Teigen, who has slayed at previous Met Gala events, did not attend this year’s event due to an unfortunate incident.
On Monday, May 6, the 38-year-old model took to her official Instagram account to show off her neck brace.
She posted a selfie featuring a cervical collar wrapped around her neck and wrote on the story, “@ The Met!”
In another story, she revealed that she had sustained an injury during an attempt to headstand while hilariously posing, and wrote, “I tried to do a headstand.”
Later in a follow-up story when fans rushed to ask about her well-being she responded by saying, “Oh my god, I am fine everybody is reaching out, I am okay it’s just a.. it's a CVS neckband.”
She continued, “And I just can’t rotate my neck because I tried to do a headstand, it didn’t go well that's all.”
Moreover, she mentioned that her absence at the Met Gala was pre-decided, “This is not why I am not at the Met, I was never going to Met this year,” she added. “Please I am so stupid for having made this a thing.”
