Julia Roberts
While we don't know if this is the exact gown Roberts had planned to wear to the 2020 Met Gala, she's still celebrating the first Monday in May. The 52-year-old actress posted a pic from inside her bathroom wearing a gorgeous black and white gown.
“Here’s me…not going to the Met Ball tonight. #stayhome #yesyoustillhavetostayhome,” she captioned the shot, which also sees her toasting to the night in instead of out.
Roberts co-chaired the Met Gala in 2008 alongside longtime friend George Clooney. She wore an Armani Prive gown and walked the red carpet with Giorgio Armani at the event.
Katy Perry
For what would have been this year's Met Gala, Perry was planning on paying tribute to Madonna's iconic cone bra. Perry, who is engaged to Orlando Bloom, was even planning on making her growing baby bump a feature of the look!
"what would have been... #TheMetBall2020💔", the singer captioned a photo of her outfit.
Despite the cancellation, High Fashion Twitter, an online space shared by fashion enthusiasts far and wide, hosted a virtual gathering on May 4. Guests were encouraged to compete in a series of categories in relation to this year's intended theme, 'About Time: Fashion and Duration', which include the following: 'Photoset Creation', 'Brand Challenge', 'Wardrobe Styling' and 'Illustration Expression'.
