The 2022 Met Gala took place at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Daisy Edgar-Jones, Paul Mescal, and Phoebe Bridgers were in attendance.

Daisy explained in an interview that when Paul arrived with Phoebe, it was simply a friend recognizing another friend. Daisy mentioned that it was still early days for her, so she was unsure about how to pose on a red carpet.

She jokingly commented on her crossed legs in every photo. While Daisy clarified the context of the photo, Paul has expressed his frustration with the speculative nature of fans and the media.

He mentioned the temptation to address the rumors about his personal life. Rumors started circulating in February 2023 about Paul Mescal and Phoebe Bridgers splitting up after dating since 2020.
