Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente won't be making their red carpet debut at the Met Gala this year despite fan speculation ... 'cause they're skipping the event entirely.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Gisele is not going to one of the biggest nights in fashion this year, and she never planned to go either. She actually hasn't been to the gala since 2023.

Instead of posing on the steps of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, we're told Gisele and Joaquim will be spending quality time with their newborn in Miami.
