Opinion | Lexi Lane: Met Gala 2021 invites social media influencers like Addison Rae for a needed facelift. - NBCNewsTHINK
The pushback at incorporating viral influencers into the big night seems to stem from people, particularly noncelebrities, worrying about the deterioration of the Met Gala’s glamour and exclusivity. Having social media stars like Rae and Chamberlain sitting next to Beyoncé, as purported versions of the seating chart circulating before the event did, can make it seem like everyone’s been taken down a peg.
At the same time, the potential invitees also continue a stereotype about current youth culture that isn’t helpful: that Gen Z’s success is purely online. That idea can invalidate young creators as lazy and incapable of a “real” career path — perhaps part of why those invited to the gala are being looked down on for it.
