Rachel Zegler is โ€œnot invitedโ€ to the Oscars.

The 20-year-old actress starred as Maria in 2021 remake of โ€˜West Side Storyโ€™ โ€“ which has been nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture โ€“ but will not be in attendance at the upcoming ceremony because she did not receive an invitation.

When a fan asked her on Instagram what she would be wearing to the event, she responded: โ€œIโ€™m not invited, so sweatpants and my boyfriendโ€™s flannel.โ€

The Golden Globe winning actress โ€“ who confirmed she was dating โ€˜West Side Storyโ€™ co-star Josh Andres Rivera back in February โ€“ went on to explain that she has tried to get an invite but to no avail and insisted she is โ€œstill rootingโ€ for the Steven Spielberg blockbuster as she hopes for a โ€œlast minute miracle.โ€

Writing in the comments section of an Instagram post, she said: โ€œI have tried it all but it doesnโ€™t seem to be happening :โ€™) I will root for west side story from my couch and be proud of the work we so tirelessly did 3 years ago. I hope some last minute miracle occurs and I can celebrate our film in person but hey, thatโ€™s how it goes sometimes, I guess. thanks for all the shock and outrageโ€” Iโ€™m disappointed, too. but thatโ€™s okay. so proud of our movie.โ€(sic)

The 94th Academy Awards are set to take place on 27th March and will be hosted by comediennes Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes as well as โ€˜Scary Movieโ€™ star Regina Hall, with a host of famous faces including Lady Gaga, Shawn Mendes, Kevin Costner and Anthony Hopkins handing out the famous statues.
