Eugenio Casnighi, a 26-year-old Italian model, recently revealed that he was fired from this year's Met Gala after his striking appearance reportedly stole the spotlight from celebrities like Kylie Jenner at last year's Met Gala. The model made headlines for his good looks in 2023 after his videos from the event went viral.
Eugenio Casnighi fired from Met Gala
Casnighi, who had previously worked as a greeter for the event, shared his experience in a TikTok video, indicating that organisers had decided not to invite him this year due to his viral fame from the 2023 Gala.
In the video, Casnighi showcased a photo of himself standing next to Kylie Jenner at last year's event, prompting the question, "Remember me?" He then explained that his rugged good looks had garnered attention at the 2023 Met Gala, leading to his dismissal from this year's event.
According to Casnighi, event organisers blamed him for making the event "about himself," stating, "We don¡¯t want to work with you anymore." He claimed they blamed him for intentionally upstaging Kylie while being her helper.
He was confirmed to attend Met Gala this year too
Despite being confirmed to attend this year's gala, Casnighi was shocked to discover that he was no longer welcome.
In addition to his dismissal, Casnighi shed light on some behind-the-scenes incidents at previous Met Galas. He revealed that a mystery celebrity had once caused a stir by smoking in a restricted area, despite being asked to stop. Casnighi declined to name the celebrity but mentioned that they had brushed off the organizers' warnings.
Reflecting on his experience at the Gala, Casnighi remarked that while most attendees were polite, some underwent a noticeable change in demeanor upon realising he was an employee. "They don't know if I'm an employee at first. And when they realise I work there¡some people change completely," he explained.
Despite the circumstances of his dismissal, Casnighi expressed his intention to continue sharing his story. "I can say a lot more because legally I can now say what I want," he stated in the video.
Casnighi's revelation has sparked discussions about the influence of appearance and celebrity culture at high-profile events like the Met Gala. As the event continues to draw attention for its glamorous attendees and extravagant fashion, Casnighi's experience serves as a reminder of the complexities behind the scenes.
