Fashion flashback: From Deepika to Kim, a look at memorable Met Gala looks

In an open letter in Vogue, Anna Wintour wote, "Today is, of course, the first Monday in May, a day that for me is typically the busiest and the most exciting of the year", adding how it has been a loss "in the larger scheme of things."

The Met Gala, which is considered as one of the most important days on the fashion calendar, has been postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. But celebs seem to be reliving the past by posting their pictures from the event’s previous edition, making everyone reminisce the gala night, the conversations and most of all the extravagant outfits and grand entrances.

In an open letter in Vogue, Anna Wintour writes, “But this year, instead of standing on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum welcoming guests to a gala, I’ll be at home like most of you.”

The theme for the 2020 Met Gala and the Costume Institute’s accompanying spring exhibition was announced as “About Time: Fashion and Duration”.

The theme invited a walk down memory lane, looking back at over a century-and-a-half of fashion, at garments from 1870 until the present day. When the theme was disclosed the Met stated that it “will explore how clothes generate temporal associations that conflate past, present, and future. Virginia Woolf will serve as the ‘ghost narrator’ of the exhibition.”

Stars like Kim Kardashian, Anne Hathway and Blake Lively have taken to Instagram to share their past looks from the fashion extravaganza. Take a look below:
