Harry Styles ‘avoided’ the Met Gala to prevent run-in with ex Olivia Wilde and fling Emily Ratajkowski
Harry Styles is said to have avoided last night’s Met Gala “like the bubonic plague” so that he wouldn’t have any awkward run-ins with his ex-girlfriend Olivia Wilde and his recent fling Emily Ratajkowski.
Styles, 29, graciously declined an invitation from Vogue icon Anna Wintour to the prestigious event after learning that both Wilde, 39, and Ratajkowski, 31, would be attending.
Styles was in a relationship with Don’t Worry Darling director Wilde for two years until their November 2022 split.
“Harry was invited to the Met Gala, but knowing that both of them were definitely going, he avoided it like it was the bubonic plague,” an insider told DailyMail.com.
“He was told by his team that they would take all necessary steps to ensure that there was no awkward run-in with Olivia, but he was not trying to risk it at all.
“Harry has no desire to have a face-to-face encounter with Olivia at this time.”
The star-studded event was the first time that Wilde and Ratajkowski crossed paths since the Blurred lines model was pictured passionately kissing the former One Direction star on the streets of Tokyo.
The tension between the women escalated when Ratajkowski told Vogue Spain she “feels bad” for allegedly upsetting Wilde, who she’s been friendly with in the past.
