If you were looking forward to seeing celebrities grace the red carpet at the Met Gala this May, you’re going to have to wait a while longer. On Monday, Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour announced that the annual art and fashion event will not take place as scheduled and is postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 crisis. Wintour noted that it was the most responsible decision.
“Due to the unavoidable and responsible decision by the Metropolitan Museum to close its doors, About Time, and the opening night gala, will not take place on the date scheduled,” added Wintour.
So while will we wait for details surrounding the new date, let’s relive our favorite beauty moment from the highly anticipated event below.
