“Due to the unavoidable and responsible decision by the Metropolitan Museum to close its doors, About Time, and the opening night gala, will be postponed to a later date,” wrote co-chair Anna Wintour on Monday in Vogue.
The theme of the 2020 Met Gala was “About Time: Fashion and Duration” and co-hosts included Emma Stone, Meryl Streep, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Louis Vuitton’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquière. The most recent year that the Met Gala was not held was in 2002, due to the 9/11 attacks.
