Some still speculated that the Met Gala might be up and running again by the fall, but it seems that everyone has come to their senses and just canceled the event altogether, in accordance with social distancing guidelines.
"About Time: Fashion and Duration" was set to be the theme for 2020, and its concurrent exhibit at the Met's Costume Institute would trace fashion history from 1870 to the present"along a disruptive timeline...organized around the principle of sixty minutes of fashion."

While the Met will throw a belated 150th birthday bash for itself next year, after it is safe to reopen to large crowds, the state of next year's Met Gala remains in the balance.
