Overview

• In a Sept. 2 Glamour interview, Aniston confirmed she has been invited to the Met Gala but chooses not to attend.
• She called the getting-ready process a "mental game" and said she is more comfortable as a "jeans and flip-flops and tank top" person.
• Aniston said high-profile nights make her nervous, citing anxiety about public speaking and past experiences of having her words twisted.
• Her stance is selective rather than a blanket avoidance of red carpets, as she continues to appear at events like the Golden Globes and Emmys.
• Outlets contextualized her comments by noting the Met Gala’s reputation as an ultra-exclusive Costume Institute fundraiser with steep ticket prices and by listing other A-listers who have never attended.
