No Met Gala No Problem — Check Out How the Celebs Got Glammed Up During Lockdown

This week could have graced us all with gorgeous, avant-garde Met Gala looks to fuel our never-ending celebrity obsession. Instead, much of the world is being kept inside, away from others. This means no Met Gala--or any celebrity function for that matter. But that doesn't mean we totally have to forego the glam.

A list of celebrities shared throwback photos and current style moments on social media in the absence of Anna Wintour's coveted night. It's enough to hold us over, and remind us of the good times, while we all adhere to social distancing, show respect for healthcare workers and essential employees and commit to saving lives. So as a reward for our hard work at home, here are some of the best celebrity glam photos that have surfaced, and resurfaced during the quarantine.

Jimelle Levon

Fashion Artist Levon created a glorious look for the Met Gala 2020. Though it never made its way to the red carpet, we can all agree it's worth sharing: mask and all.

My take on this years Met Gala theme “About Time: Fashion and Duration” with a twist. The black “Southern Belle” gown and entire ensemble was designed and hand constructed by me pic.twitter.com/d7e2NsY389

Blake Lively

Everyone's favorite actor Lively not only shared three Met Gala looks from past years, but she cracked a great joke alongside them. Lively claimed the "carpets matched the Blakes" each year, and she was right.
