Met Gala Monday: Celebrities Share Throwbacks Amid Quarantine

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Met Gala, scheduled for Monday, May 4, was one of many events that had to be canceled. This year’s theme was supposed to be “About Time: Fashion and Duration.”

According to The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s official announcement on Instagram, the concept was derived from philosopher Henri Bergson and his thoughts on “time that flows, accumulates and is indivisible.”
