Academy Award-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow skipped the Met Gala on Monday at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art for the second year in a row. Instead, the Goop founder spent the evening with her daughter Apple.

“This was the red carpet in my house last night,” the consciously uncoupled actress, 42, Instagrammed an image of her nearly 11-year-old daughter striking a pose in a blue onesie accessorized with a pair of monster feet slippers.

The Iron Man star has verbalized about her strong feelings about the Met Ball. After telling USA Today that she would never attend the event again, she then elaborated on Kiis 1065.

“Do you want me to be honest? It sucked!,” Paltrow said of the posh NYC event. “You always think, ‘Oh my god, it’s gonna be so glamorous and amazing and you’re going to see all these people,’ and then you get there and it’s so hot and it’s so crowded and everyone’s pushing you.”
