Everyone Is Invited to The Met Gala and The Costume Institute’s New Show — Virtually

All is not lost for the first Monday in May.

ALL ARE WELCOME: Monday was supposed to be a pinnacle day and night in the world of fashion with the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art unveiling its exhibition and fans flocking to see arrivals for the annual celebrity-studded Met Gala. While the pandemic-induced shutdown has caused the actual gala to shift to a date of to-be-determined, all is not lost for the first Monday in May.

With the Fifth Avenue museum temporarily closed, The Met will be floating new content about its spring Costume Institute exhibition “About Time: Fashion and Duration,” which is now slated to open Oct. 29. There will also be fodder about Met Galas from years past. The annual extravaganza reels in reams of worldwide publicity for The Met and serves as its primary fund-raiser.

All those stay-at-homers can also check out a reading list from “About Time’s” ghost narrator Virginia Woolf that will include time-related quotes from each work, including ones that will be in the show. The show highlights 120 looks dating back to 1870 — the year that the museum was founded and the kickoff of a decade that had major developments in the global standardization of time.

Vogue is rolling out “A Moment With the Met,” an exclusive YouTube livestream that celebrates the first Monday in May.
