Famous streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel announced that he has received an invitation to attend the 2024 Met Gala, much to the surprise of his colleague Trainwreck, who had previously offered him fashion tips.
The 2024 Met Gala, set to take place on May 6, will have a dress code inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story, ‘The Garden of Time’. There are also speculations that popular Kick streamer xQc may make an appearance at the event.
During a recent broadcast, Trainwreck was surprised when the French Canadian revealed that he had received a message from his manager inviting him to the event. Trainwreck was confused by Lengyel’s hesitancy.
“xQc asked if he should attend the Met Gala after receiving an invitation.”
Without hesitation, the streamer’s chat exploded with requests for him to travel to New York and participate in one of the most prestigious fashion events in the world, filled with A-list celebrities.

“Trainwreck emphasized the importance of having swag, stating, “You know what I’m saying? You gotta have swag, X!”He explained that it’s not just about layering a long sleeve shirt under a t-shirt, but about completely embodying a swag vibe.”
Despite Lengyel’s reservations about what to wear, Trainwreck persisted and suggested, “Why not get a $1M watch?”
Coincidentally, TikTok happens to be the main sponsor of the event. Therefore, viewers can anticipate the attendance of other prominent figures in the influencer community.
In the past, previous events have also included a significant number of influencers, causing backlash from individuals who feel that the Met Gala should only be reserved for A-List celebrities rather than internet personalities.
There has been a considerable amount of drama surrounding the attendance of influencers at the event. One notable instance was in 2022 when Addison Rae was invited, but later appeared to be publicly criticized by Kendall Jenner.
In 2021, Emma Chamberlain and other influencers were heavily criticized for their guest list at the event, and the following year, Chamberlain faced even more backlash for wearing jewelry that was allegedly stolen from Indian Royalty.
Currently, there is no definite confirmation on whether xQc will attend the Met Gala. This is due to the streamer’s reputation for unexpectedly cancelling on events, like the instance when he left Pokimane waiting after forgetting about their Twitch podcast debut.
