The
Met
Gala,
which
was
cancelled
in
2020
due
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
is
all
set
to
return
in
2021.
The
2020
ceremony
was
compensated
with
a
virtual
celebration
where
celebs
like
Julia
Roberts,
Priyanka
Chopra
and
Amanda
Seyfried
showed
off
their
throwback
looks
from
home.
However,
a
Page
Six
report
revealed
that
the
ceremony
will
be
making
a
return
on
September
13,
2021.
Vogue's
Oscars
of
Fashion
traditionally
takes
place
on
the
first
Monday
of
May.
However,
due
to
the
surging
cases
of
the
virus,
the
event
has
been
postponed.
But
with
vaccine
drives
under
way,
the
organisers
are
hoping
that
life
will
have
returned
to
something
closer
to
normal
by
September
2021.
A
source
also
told
the
tabloid
that
it
won't
be
on
the
first
Monday
of
the
month
as
the
date
is
already
occupied
by
Labor
Day.
The
insider
added,
"Even
Anna
Wintour
can't
change
a
federal
holiday," and
hinted
that
the
theme
for
the
night
will
be
celebration
of
America
and
American
designers.
The
source
also
revealed
that
poet
Amanda
Gorman
and
CFDA
chairman
Tom
Ford
could
act
as
host
for
the
Met
Gala
this
year.
For
the
unversed,
Amanda
Gorman,
a
poet
and
activist
is
the
23-year-old
breakout
star
of
President
Biden's
inauguration.
She
also
appeared
on
the
cover
of
Vogue
magazine's
May
issue.
The
black-tie
affair,
which
is
one
of
the
biggest
nights
in
the
fashion
industry
is
known
to
raises
funds
for
Met's
Costume
Institute.
The
usual
guest
list
includes
celebs
like
Lady
Gaga,
Katy
Perry,
Kim
Kardashian,
Jeff
Bezos,
Elon
Musk,
CAA's
Bryan
Lourd
and
others.
The
2021
awards
season
including
Grammys,
Golden
Globes
has
made
successful
attempts
at
hosting
ceremonies
in
person
as
well
as
hybrid.
However,
it
is
unclear
if
the
event
will
take
place
in
person,
in
multiple
locations,
virtual
or
in
a
hybrid
fashion.
