Her first and last Met Ball was in 2007 .

Believe it or not, it’s been almost 20 years sinceJennifer Garnerattended theMet Gala.

Her first and last appearance was in 2007, where she was joined by legendary designer Valentino Garavani. Jennifer wore a gorgeous strapless dress by Valentino in the brand’s signature red hue with a matching red clutch.

Thethemethat year was Poiret: King of Fashion in honor of designer Paul Poiret, who was known for his draped and more relaxed silhouettes.

During a resurfaced interview with Vogue, Jenniferlooked backon the evening and explained why she hasn’t gone to the Met Gala since.

“I went to the Met Ball exactly one time. I found it a little scary so I haven’t went back,” she admitted.

Although the event wasn’t her thing, Jennifer said she enjoyed dressing up for the red carpet. “I wore that night this magical red Valentino gown,” she gushed. “And I was [Valentino’s] date, and that was really majestic and special.”

It’s too bad she doesn’t attend the Met because, IMO, she’d probably slay.

Like, Jennifer always looks regal on the red carpet — whether that’s the 2008Academy Awards…

…the 2013SAG Awards…

…the 2018 Oscars…

…or the premiere ofPeppermint.
