Met Gala 2020 Officially Postponed Due to the Corona Pandemic

Kapanlagi.com - The corona virus or COVID-19, which has been declared a pandemic by the WHO, indeed threatens the health of people worldwide. Because of this, many schedules and events have to be postponed, including music concerts and the prestigious Met Gala 2020.

There has been confusion about the timing of the Met Gala 2020 amid the corona pandemic, which is a concern for many people. Now, Vogue has finally made an official announcement. The grand event, which was supposed to take place on May 4, has been officially postponed to an undecided date.

1. Officially Postponed

This announcement was made shortly after the notice that the event venue, located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will be closed until April 4. This decision was made because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had previously urged everyone to practice social distancing.

Not only that, for at least the next 8 weeks, there should not be gatherings of more than 50 people in one place. A spokesperson for the Met Gala stated, "To honor these guidelines, all events until May 15 will be canceled or postponed (including the Met Gala)."

2. Reportedly Not Postponed

This official announcement contradicts the latest rumors circulating in the media. Previously, it was mentioned that the Met Gala 2020 would still take place and not be postponed.

This news was conveyed directly by the Head of Public Relations of the Costume Institute, Nancy Chilton, in an interview with The Cut, "We will still hold the Met Gala as planned and there will be no changes. We are really looking forward to that beautiful night."
