ORIGINAL STORY (May 2, 2021): Following last year’s cancellation, the Met Gala is making a grand return this coming September with an American fashion theme. Co-hosting the two-part event will be Timothée Chalamet alongside poet Amanda Gorman and designer Tom Ford, Page Six reports.
Although Chalamet has never been to fashion’s biggest event in the past, the Call Me By Your Name star has received much attention for his style featuring the likes of Haider Ackermann, Gucci, Alexander McQueen and Louis Vuitton. Not many details have been revealed just yet, but the Oscar-winning actor will be attending the two-part show that has been pushed back to September from its regular early May schedule.
Stay tuned as we learn more. The Met Gala will be taking place on September 13 followed by a larger event on May 2, 2022.
