Here are some photos of Amy Schumer at this year’s Met Gala back in May. What you can’t see in these photos is the heavily-armed Met Gala police forcing her to attend. Yes, Amy did not want to attend this year’s Met Gala. She felt like she was being “punished” by putting on a fancy dress and having to interact with famous people. Her Met Gala invitation was likely guaranteed the second she agreed to pose for Vogue, but it doesn’t matter! What matters is that Amy hated everything about the Met Gala! That’s what she told Howard Stern.

Some celebrities spend years trying to get onto the Met Gala guest list, then, once they do, they spend months preparing for it. Amy Schumer, on the other hand, wishes this year’s invitation had gotten lost in the mail. In a recent interview with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show, the 35-year-old comedian confessed to the host that the star-studded fashion event was far from fun, but rather a “punishment.”

“It’s people doing an impression of having a conversation … I don’t like the farce,” Schumer told Stern. “We’re dressed up like a bunch of f—king a–holes.”

Although Schumer attended as Alexander Wang’s date in a sexy, low-cut red gown embellished with chain detailing, she says throughout the evening, she kept wishing she was elsewhere — even after a surprise meet-and-greet with Queen Bey.

“I got to meet Beyoncé and she was like, ‘Is this your first Met Gala?’” the comedian said. “And I was like, ‘It’s my last.’”

What — seeing Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston tear it up on the dance floor wasn’t enough to make it fun? Schumer still wasn’t feeling it. “I don’t like it,” she said. “I have no interest in fashion … I don’t care.”

This reminds me of the time, back in 2013, when Gwyneth Paltrow wore a pink princess gown to the punk-themed Met Gala and Gwyneth wouldn’t stop bad-mouthing the gala afterwards. Gwyneth also claimed that she had attended her last Met Gala, and she kept her word – she hasn’t been to one since. Gwyneth is unlike Amy Schumer though – Gwyneth is known for fashion/beauty stuff. It was always going to be strange to see Amy Schumer at the Met Gala because… she always acts like she’s so above all of that stuff. And here she is again, acting like the Met Gala is beneath her. Then why attend? Why agree to a Vogue cover? Why even engage in the fashion part of life at all? The bigger problem might be that Amy doesn’t really know what she wants or how she wants to present herself, as we’ve seen before. You can’t be “the normal, down-to-earth, average-sized girl” (which has long been part of Amy’s branding) AND be the woman who gets Vogue covers and attends the Met Gala. So choose. And stop complaining that a fancy gala was like a “punishment.”

Here are some photos of Schumer outside of Colbert this week. This outfit is so unflattering.
