The Met Gala will not go ahead as scheduled on May 4, 2020 due to the outbreak of COVID-19 globally. The annual red carpet event, hosted by Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, is a celebrity-packed fundraiser for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Since 2005, the event has been held, on the first Monday in May — it also marks the launch of its spring exhibition, reports cnn.com.

This year’s exhibition, “About Time: Fashion and Duration”, is sponsored by luxury fashion label Louis Vuitton. It has been billed as a journey through the history of fashion from 1870 to the present. Wintour confirmed that the fundraiser would not be held as planned. “Due to the unavoidable and responsible decision by the Metropolitan Museum to close its doors,” she wrote. — IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
