The Met Gala will return in 2021 as it moves to September with superstar poet Amanda Gorman hosting – Daily Mail

The stars will assemble once again to show off their most stylish looks at the Met Gala in 2021.

But the high-profile fashion event will be shift later in the year from its usual first Monday in May to September 13, Page Six reported on Thursday.

Amanda Gorman, the young poet who transfixed viewers and attendees of January’s presidential inauguration, is reportedly being eyed to host the gala.

To fit in with Gorman’s star-making moment, the event is likely to celebrate America with a special spotlight on American fashion designers, a source said.

Although the event is identified with its usual date, the first Monday in May, the event will be pushed back to September in hopes that it will be safer for people to gather at that time.

However, the first Monday of September wasn’t available, as many Americans will be celebrating Labor Day.

‘Even Anna Wintour can’t change a federal holiday,’ another source added. 

The pace of coronavirus vaccinations continues to pick up across the country, and President Joe Biden has announced that he wants all adults to be eligible to receive vaccines by April 19, so all or most attendees may be fully vaccinated by late summer.

Gorman made waves at the inauguration when she recited her poem The Hill We Climb.

The 23-year-old writer was previously named the first National Youth Poet Laureate in 2017.

In the wake of her show-stopping performance, two of her books of poetry became national bestsellers and she was signed by IMG Models.

She previously spoke about the connection between fashion and poetry in 2019 for Vogue, which puts on the Met Gala every year.

‘Fashion brings a distinct visual aesthetic to language. When I’m performing onstage, I’m not just thinking about my clothing, but what my Wakanda Forever T-shirt and yellow skirt is saying about my identity as a poet.’

In addition to Gorman, CFDA chairman Tom Ford is being considered as a co-host for the event, though he hasn’t yet signed on.

The most recent Met Gala, held in 2019, was themed around camp and inspired by Susan Sontag’s iconic essay Notes On ‘Camp.’

The 2020 celebration was canceled due to the raging pandemic, but celebrities held their own virtual event in its place where they showed off the stunning outfits they might have worn.

Julia Roberts, Priyanka Chopra and Katy Perry were among the high-profile stars participating in the modest event.

Mindy Kaling even got into the spirit with the #MetGalaChallenge, in which she replicated show-stopping looks from the ceremony from home.

She mocked Jared Leto’s bizarre arrival with a copy of his head in one hilarious Instagram post.
