Met Gala 2020 Officially Postponed

The 2020 Met Gala, which was supposed to take place on May 4, has been postponed.

This news comes just a few days after the museum closed “until further notice” after two employees began to show symptoms of Coronavirus.

After the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that all gatherings over 50 people should be avoided, the museum decided, “in deference to this guidance, all programs and events through May 15 will be canceled or postponed,” Vogue is reporting.

This is a change in what was reported just a few days ago, when the event was proceeding as planned.

No further details were announced. This will be the first time that the Met Gala is not being held on the first Monday in May.
