When is Met Gala 2021 going to be held? 

The Met Gala 2020, was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of this, the Costume Institute has announced a two-part Met Gala for 2021 and 2022. The Met Gala 2021 will be held on September 18 and will be called America: A Lexicon of Fashion. 

Reports also claim that a slightly smaller celebration is planned for September 13, 2021. The Met Gala 2022 will be held on May 5, 2022 and will be titled America: An Anthology of Fashion. Both shows will run through 5 September 2022.

Met Gala 2021 theme and more 

The Met Gala 2021 theme will reportedly celebrate American designers and cultural, political and social events that have occurred during the pandemic. Andrew Bolton, the curator in charge of the Costume Institute, in an interaction with Vogue, explained, "The main one was the fact that the American fashion community has been supporting us for 75 years, really since the beginning of the Costume Institute, so I wanted to acknowledge its support, and also to celebrate and reflect upon American fashion.".

Accoding to the outlet, Bolton takes inspiration from Witold Rybczynski’s Home: A Short History of an Idea essay and will transform the Anna Wintour Costume Center into an imaginary house for In America: A Lexicon of Fashion. The report states that every room will have a particular theme like "joy, rebellion, warmth, nostalgia and more, and be occupied by an ancestor". 

Explaining the Met Gala 2021 theme, Bolton said: 

So for the porch, which is warmth, the idea would be to have perhaps Bonnie Cashin’s blanket coat that we pair with André Walker’s coat made from Hudson Bay blankets. In the garden, which is joy, the idea is to have a Mainbocher printed floral dress with the Oscar de la Renta dress that Taylor Swift wore to the Grammys.

The Met Gala 2022, which will be the second part of the festival, will be titled  America: An Anthology of Fashion and will focus on inclusivity in fashion.

According to Page Six, the Met Gala 2021 guest list already includes several A-list celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna and Lupita Nyong’o. The outlet also claims that Emily Ratajkowski and Camilla Cabello have also made it to the list.
