What glittering extravaganza is missing this first Monday in May in New York City? Because of the Coronavirus pandemic, there is no Met Gala today. Me, I’m celebrating with my sheltering-at-home pajamas. Also, I thought now would be a great time to explore the history of the awards ceremony red carpet. Where did this tradition originate?
The Met Gala is one of the most glamorous red carpet-events of the year. The 2020 theme is About Time: Fashion and Duration to celebrate the Museum’s 150-anniversary. Currently, the Met closed until further notice; the annual exhibit postponed until October 29.
