Met Gala, which was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, is coming back this year!
Poet Amanda Gorman is considered to be the host of the night, as reported by Page Six. The young artist, who captivated millions with her poetry at the inaguration of US President Joe Biden, is being considered for this glamorous night also indicates that the new theme may be centered on America and American designers. Vogue’s “Oscars of Fashion” famously takes place on the first Monday of May. This year it’s been pushed back to September 13, in hopes that life will have returned to something closer to normal by then.
The gala, which raises money for the Met’s Costume Institute, is fashion’s biggest night and welcomes quite high-profile guests, from Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian to Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Bryan Lourd of the CAA.
There was a virtual event in place of the 2020 event, with celebs like Julia Roberts, Priyanka Chopra and Amanda Seyfried showing off their looks from home and stars like Mindy Kaling and Adam Rippon taking part in the #MetGalaChallenge, recreating looks from past years.
It remains unclear what the format of this year’s event will be.
