Met Gala, the biggest red carpet event on earth, which holds on the first Monday of May, will not happen as earlier planned due to coronavirus. Vogue Magazine and the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced announced on Monday that they would be postponing this year’s highly-anticipated event and exhibit.
Set to be hosted by Meryl Streep and Nicolas Ghesquière, the theme for the exhibit and coordinating Met Gala was: “About Time: Fashion and Duration.” The event was being underwritten by Louis Vuitton. There’s no news yet on what the economic fallout will be for all involved — from sponsors to stylists to media professionals who cover the red carpet — but they could be quite significant considering the scale of the event.
Coronavirus is wreaking havoc almost everywhere on the globe with people living in constant fear and panick. According to WHO, 181,775 cases of infection have been registered, with 7,131 deaths so far.
Let’s stay safe!
