Thanks to Vogue the show will go on as not even a global pandemic can get in the way of as fashion.
Vogue will livestream a tribute to the benefit on their YouTube channel, rolling out the red carpet at 10 am American EST with “The Best Red Carpet Moments” over the years. The main event “A Moment at the Met” will commence at 6pm American EST and feature a performance by ‘Florence + The Machine’, complimented with a DJ set spun by Virgil Abloh.
