The 2021 Met Gala is shaping up to be a massive event, and now, we know the celeb co-chairs!

Back in early April, the Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, alongside Anna Wintour, Costume Institute booster and Condé Nast chief content officer, announced that there will be two Met Galas to celebrate American fashion.

The “more intimate” Met Gala will happen this year on September 13, dependent on any Coronavirus restrictions in place. A larger Met Gala will return on May 2, 2022, and will coincide with a two-part exhibition that will be available to view for almost a full year.

The 2021 Met Gala is happening this year, according to a new report!

The annual fashionable celebration, which was cancelled last year amid the pandemic, will be returning as usual this year, Page Six reported Thursday (April 8).

However, it will be happening later than usual.

Unlike most years, when the event takes place on the first Monday of May, this year’s event will allegedly be pushed back to September 13 to try and time with a return to relative “normalcy” following the deployment of the COVID-19 vaccine.

It was not going to be on the first Monday of that month due to Labor Day.

“Even Anna Wintour can’t change a federal holiday,” a source told the outlet.

While there are no official confirmations yet, poet Amanda Gorman and CFDA chairman Tom Ford are reportedly being eyed to act as the hosts.

The theme will be a celebration of America and American designers, according to the report.

Amanda Gorman also has something else big lined up…

The 22-year-old poet took to Twitter on Friday (March 5) to reveal what happened.

“A security guard tailed me on my walk home tonight. He demanded if I lived there because ‘you look suspicious.’ I showed my keys & buzzed myself into my building. He left, no apology. This is the reality of black girls: One day you’re called an icon, the next day, a threat,” Amanda tweeted.

She followed up and wrote, “In a sense, he was right. I AM A THREAT: a threat to injustice, to inequality, to ignorance. Anyone who speaks the truth and walks with hope is an obvious and fatal danger to the powers that be.”

“Today we honor our three captains, For their actions and impact in, A time of uncertainty and need,” Amanda said. “They’ve taken the lead, Exceeding all expectations and limitations, Uplifting their communities and neighbors, As leaders, healers, and educators.”

Amanda went viral after reciting her amazing work, “The Hill We Climb,” at the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris last month.

Amanda Gorman is spilling some behind-the-scenes details about the 2021 Presidential Inauguration last week!

The 22-year-old poet, who became a huge star after speaking at President Biden‘s Inauguration, appeared for an interview on Ellen where she shared some details viewers didn’t see during the big event.

According to Amanda, former First Lady Michelle Obama was a little upset with former President Barack Obama for breaking COVID, safety protocols.

“I remember Michelle Obama, like, being close,” Amanda recalled. “And she kind of kept yelling at Barack, like, ‘Stop hugging people. Stop getting close to people.’”

Amanda continued, “And then when I was done, she kind of like pushed him out the way and gave me the just the biggest, warmest Michelle Obama hug.”

Amanda also revealed that the Inauguration wasn’t the first time she met Michelle.

“I have met Michelle a few times before,” Amanda shared. “Not Barack. And whenever I meet Michelle I hope that she forgets meeting me, because I just want a do-over. I just want a clean slate. Like, I just want to do it right this time. But she always remembers and she’s always great.”
