To commemorate a very different first Monday in May this year, Vogue asked some of our favorite stars to create a playlist featuring timeless songs inspired by the theme of this year’s Met gala and the upcoming Costume Institute exhibition, “About Time: Fashion and Duration.”
Kacey Musgraves, who arrived at the 2019 Met gala in an immediately unforgettable pink convertible and matching hot pink Barbie look, says of her 22-song playlist: “These songs are timeless to me. They define the eras they were created in, but the eras they were created are mostly undetectable. These are songs that I never get tired of hearing and all have my favorite quality: a foot in the future and a foot in the past.” You’ll find Dolly Parton, Cher, Queen, and Fleetwood Mac here—and every genre from electronic dance pop to grunge.

This year, because of the global health crisis, the Met gala and the Costume Institute exhibition have been postponed. Instead, on Monday, May 4, Vogue is revisiting some of the most memorable moments in the history of the event, including the best looks and remarkable celebrity appearances.
To conclude the celebration, you’re invited to join Vogue for “A Moment With the Met,” available via livestream exclusively on YouTube. Beginning at 6 p.m. EDT, the evening will feature an address by Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour, a special live performance by Florence and the Machine, and a DJ set from Virgil Abloh.
Preview the exhibition, as captured by Hamish Bowles and Annie Leibovitz for the May issue of Vogue, here. A new date for the 2020 Met gala is yet to be finalized.
