The first Monday of May has officially been postponed indefinitely and it’s real tears I’m shedding. We did see this one coming when the Metropolitan Museum itself had announced earlier this month that it would be closing its doors “until further notice”. Wishful thinking, however, had me still pinning onto hope that the Met Gala would go on as planned. That dream was short-lived.
This year’s Met Gala theme was “About Time: Fashion and Duration”, a concept inspired by the 1992 film “Orlando”.
Given the theme, it was only appropriate that fashion’s man of the future, Nicolas Ghesquière was due to co-chair the event alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda, Meryl Streep, Emma Stone and of course, Anna Wintour.
Now that the fate of fashion’s big night out hangs in the air and I may or may not ever know which fashion icon’s past Kim Kardashian would have taken a leaf out of, or which decapitated body part Jared Leto might bring as his plus one, looking back at some of Met Gala’s best moments is about as much as I can do.
These are some of my favourite Met Gala looks from previous years...
