May 4, 2020 would have brought tons of fashion’s biggest trendsetters to New York City for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s annual Met Gala. This year’s event was set to be sponsored by Louis Vuitton, along with co-chairs Nicolas Ghesquière, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Emma Stone, Meryl Streep, and Anna Wintour, and themed About Time: Fashion and Duration. But because the 2020 Met Gala has been postponed indefinitely due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the future of the red carpet affair remained uncertain.
To commemorate the occasion, we’re rounding up some of our favorite standout Met Gala styles from recent memory. Check them out below!
