Which means that the Met Gala will take place this September and be back to the first Monday in May for 2022. Celine and Gucci also showed their née collections. While Celine’s was all about understated luxury, Gucci went for bombastic glamour and even borrowed Balenciaga’s logos for a few looks. Meanwhile, Precious Lee also become Vogue.com’s first guest editor, bringing a wellness series to the site.
