John F. Kennedy’s grandson Jack Schlossberg revealed he is ‘boycotting’ his former boss Anna Wintour’s Met Gala this year.

Schlossberg, 32, who has worked as a political correspondent for Vogue magazine, discussed his boycott of fashion’s biggest night in a series of Instagram posts, and revealed he is launching his own network.

‘Hey, Anna Wintour. I’m sorry but I’m boycotting the Met Gala this year. I can’t go in good conscience with so much happening around the world and at home,’ the Kennedy heir shared in one video directed at the Vogue Editor-in-chief.

‘It’s just not the time,’ Schlossberg — who is Kennedy’s only grandson — added, ‘It’s not the time for a party like that. So I’m calling on everybody to boycott the Met Gala. It’s not the time.’

‘BOYCOTT MET GALA 2025 sorry Anna WINTOUR but it’s NOT THE TIME @voguemagazine,’ he wrote in the caption.

His boycott seemingly stems from the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

In another video he was seen on a paddle board, as he admitted that he ‘loves to party’ and has been to the Met Gala before and ‘had a great time.’

‘But this year, with so much happening around the world and at home, I cannot in good conscience go to the Met Gala,’ he continued.

He also shared a Tweet, writing, ‘FASHION IS POLITICAL — So then why is VOGUE SO QUIET ?! VOGUE shouldn’t be so scared of my boycott OF THE MET GALA they should focus on issues and use their platform to take a stand. corporate interests often succeed in making fashion less attractive and relevant BOYCOTT.’

In another Tweet he wrote: ‘WILL NOT BE ATTENDING THE MET GALA THIS YEAR It’s not the time for that: instead of partying, I’ll be focused on launching my new live channel.’

This year’s Met Gala exhibit is going to include garments, paintings and pH๏τographs that explore ‘the indelible style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th-century through present day’; Anna seen at 2019 Met Gala 

In 2017, Jack attended the Met Gala with his mother, Caroline Kennedy. He also wrote a number of articles for Vogue in 2024. 

The Kennedy heir has become notorious from his off-the-wall social media posts and pᴀssionate rants. 

Jack, is the son of JFK’s daughter Caroline – who served as the US Ambᴀssador to Australia under President Joe Biden – and her husband Edwin Schlossberg, a designer and artist. 

As is tradition, the first Monday in May 2025 will see the most famous names in the business showcase their interpretation of this year’s Met Gala theme – Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.

The pH๏τos taken of the celebrities walking up the staircase of New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art will be judged by fashion lovers all over the globe.

Vogue confirmed that the dress code for the night is ‘Tailored for you.’

For this year’s gala, every chair or committee member is black except for Anna, who has the lead chairperson for the event since the 1990s.

NBA superstar LeBron James is the honorary chair, while Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Pharrell Williams are the other co-chairs for the event.

The rest of the committee members include artist André 3000, author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, global athletes Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens, designer Grace Wales Bonner and painter Jordan Casteel.

Designer and fashion тιтan Dapper Dan, rapper Doechii, actress Ayo Edebiri, respected fashion editor Edward Enninful and playwrights Jeremy O. Harris and Branden Jacobs-Jenkins are also on the committee.

While artist Rashid Johnson, actress and director Regina King, filmmaker Spike Lee and author Tonya Lewis Lee, actress Audra McDonald, musician Janelle Monáe, actor Jeremy Pope will join them.

When the theme was announced last October, it sparked fears of an ‘appropriation disaster’ from fashion fans.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City revealed that the Costume Insтιтute’s spring 2025 exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style was inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Idenтιтy.

According to Vogue, the exhibit is going to include garments, paintings and pH๏τographs that explore ‘the indelible style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th-century through present day.’

Many commenters said they couldn’t wait to see how stars such as Zendaya, her stylist Law Roach, Janelle Monae, Rihanna and Teyana Taylor interpret the theme.

However, others were more concerned about appropriation and representation.

‘Am I the only nervous about this?’ one fashion fan asked as another said, ‘A good theme but let’s hope no one will appropriate cultures.’
