The Met Gala, the annual high-wattage celebration of both fashion and celebrity, is coming back – not once, but twice.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that the event – cancelled last year because of the pandemic – will return in person, first in September, then again in 2022 in its usual slot of the first Monday in May.
