Eternals stars Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Gemma Chan and Lauren Ridloff pulled out of Elle's 2021 Women In Hollywood gala event last minute on Tuesday night due to potential exposure to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 as per The Hollywood Reporter. The actresses were set to be honoured at the event but had to skip due to precautions.
It was confirmed by Elle EIC Nina Garcia at the event who spoke about the actresses missing the event and said, "Those superheroes are now in super isolation."

As per The Hollywood Reporter, a Disney spokesperson mentioned that they were made aware of a possible exposure to COVID-19, although all of their talents have tested negative for the virus. As a precautionary measure though, the spokesperson added, "We are pivoting to virtual appearances rather than in-person events."
