The Italian-born model with a handsome appearance was fired by the Met Gala on the eve of the event just because he had previously accidentally occupied the spotlight of a series of cult stars such as Kylie Jenner, Jennie (BLACKPINK),...

For the 2024 season, Casnighi has been confirmed by the organizers to attend as a host via email and text. However, on the eve of the event (which took place on May 6), he received the news of his dismissal.

Since he no longer works at the Met Gala, the Italian model is not afraid to share about this issue on his personal page. For the 2023 season, he hosted Kylie Jenner. So, fans may notice Casnighi standing behind Kylie Jenner in some of the photos.

Casnighi has also been spotted in the same frame as Blackpink's Jennie. When Emma Chamberlain interviewed Jennie, Casnighi was standing in the background and doing her job.

However, the cameraman seemed surprised by Casnighi's face, shifting the focus from Jennie to the male model. This led to "feverish" videos, discussing the male model's appearance.

In the video shared, model Eugenio Casnighi said: "I work at the Met Gala as a receptionist in 2022 and 2023. This year I should have continued to do this work at the Met Gala.

But today, they announced my firing just because last year I went viral at the Met Gala. They said that I wanted to use my appearances next to artists to draw attention to myself and become famous."

A month before this year's event, Casnighi was still confirmed to continue the job, but at the last minute he was unexpectedly rejected. "It's funny that they blame me. They told me I had caused it myself so the organisers didn't want to work with me anymore," Casnighi said, adding that she was shocked that she was at a disadvantage for the first time just because of her perfect appearance.

Under the post, many fans expressed their support for Eugenio. One wrote: "They can't stand your viral beauty." Another commented: "I'm confused why isn't that good? If you attract people's attention, doesn't that benefit the company?", "They hate you because you look so perfect", "You're so handsome. Better things will happen to you."

Eugenio Casnighi explained that he didn't mean to draw attention to himself: "Photographers photograph artists, not me, of course. For example, when they take pictures of the stars, I stand right next to them. So, of course, I'm also in the picture. Yet they blamed me and said I wanted to draw attention to myself and decided to fire me."

Eugenio Casnighi, born in 1997, is from Italy. He is 1.85 m tall, with a masculine face and a toned, muscular body. He currently works for New York-based management company Q Models. In addition, he is under the management of Wilhelmina Models, NTA Model Management and The Source Models.

The model participated in brand advertising campaigns Guess, Calvin Klein, and also appeared in the Huf publication, Boss Magazine . He is also a senior graphic designer at iWorld, LLC in New York City.

On her personal account of more than 210,000 followers, Casnighi posts many photos showing off her body and sharing about her exercise and eating regime. The model said that she is passionate about going to the gym and playing sea sports such as surfing, scuba diving, skydiving ...

Because the male model market is fiercely competitive and the opportunities are not equal to female models, Eugenio Casnighi has to work more jobs to increase his income.

The 2024 Met Gala took place on May 6 with the theme Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion . This is one of the biggest fashion events in the world, bringing together a cast of cult stars from all over the world.
