Chrissy Teigen was spotted wearing a neck brace just before the 2024 Met Gala, sparking curiosity among her fans. Taking to Instagram Story, she shared a photo of herself with the caption “@ the Met,” hinting at her unfortunate timing.
In another Story, Teigen revealed the cause of her injury, explaining, “I tried to do a headstand.” Despite the mishap, she maintained her sense of humor, joking about potentially gluing a flower to the brace.
Despite the seriousness of the injury, Teigen reassured her followers that she was okay. “Oh my God, I’m fine. Everybody’s reaching out. I’m OK. It’s just a CVS neck band. I just can’t rotate my neck because I tried to do a headstand and it didn’t go well. That’s all,” she clarified.
Addressing any concerns about missing the Met Gala, Teigen assured her followers that her absence was unrelated to her injury. “This is not why I’m not at the Met. I was never going to the Met this year. Please, I’m so stupid for making this a thing. I’m sorry,” she emphasized.
In addition to her neck injury, Teigen also shared a humorous text exchange with her doctor, revealing that she had to postpone a blood test because she had eaten bacon-wrapped dates. Despite the setback, she maintained her trademark wit and candor in sharing the details with her 42 million followers.
Teigen’s last public appearance in New York City was on May 3, leaving fans to wonder about her condition ahead of the highly anticipated Met Gala.
