With the much-anticipated Met Gala approaching in September, many are curious about the event’s exclusive guest list.
Usually held annually on the first Monday in May, the event is a fundraising benefit for the Museum of Metropolitan Art in New York City. This year’s Met Gala will take place on Sept. 13 in an apparently smaller setting, after it was ultimately canceled last year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The theme for this year is “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” which will delve into the modern vocabulary of American fashion. Vogue has tapped Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman and Naomi Osaka to co-chair this year’s event.
Though it has not been confirmed who is attending, an Instagram fan account dedicated to the charity event, called @_metgala2021, released a mock seating chart of its rumored guests on Monday.
Familiar faces such as Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian will allegedly attend, and the guest list has apparently expanded to include internet personalities, influencers and even athletes. Included among them is reportedly YouTuber Emma Chamberlain, TikTok star Addison Rae and Olympic track athlete Allyson Felix.
