Here are a few of the best events happening on Monday and how to tune in (all times are Eastern Daylight).
A Virtual Celebration of Met Galas Past
6 p.m. on YouTube
The first Monday in May has long marked one of fashion’s biggest nights: The Met Gala. This year, with the Metropolitan Museum of Art closed and the gala canceled, Vogue is hosting a virtual event in its place called “A Moment With the Met,” a retrospective of the gala’s most memorable moments and iconic looks. It will feature an address by Anna Wintour, a live performance by Florence and the Machine, and a DJ set from Virgil Abloh. Vogue will make a donation to the museum’s Costume Institute, and viewers can contribute as well.
When: 6 p.m.
Where: Vogue’s YouTube channel.
‘Love, Loss, and What I Wore’ With Tracee Ellis Ross, Natasha Lyonne, Rosie O’Donnell and Others
8 p.m. on 92Y Online
What will wearing sweatpants for months on end eventually say about us? At least we were comfortable, right? The play “Love, Loss, and What I Wore” — written by Nora and Delia Ephron, and based on Ilene Beckerman’s book — is a funny, touching look at the stories of women’s lives through their clothes, which may have a special resonance nowadays. In 2017, Lucy DeVito, Tracee Ellis Ross, Carol Kane, Natasha Lyonne and Rosie O’Donnell, who all at one time appeared in the production, came together at the 92nd Street Y for a one-night-only performance, directed by Karen Carpenter. Now the 92Y, in association with the Tony Award-winning producer Daryl Roth, is releasing it online. Tickets are $10.
When: 8 p.m., and it will be available to stream through to May 25.
Where: 92Y Online. Buy tickets here.

Dance Meets Words in ‘Paramodernities’
3 p.m. on Nettay.com
Each day for six days, starting Monday, the choreographer and dance artist Netta Yerushalmy will be streaming one installment of her epic six-part work “Paramodernities,” which had its New York debut last year and was a New York Times critic’s pick. In his review, Brian Seibert called it an “excitingly ambitious work” that “keeps asking the question of itself.” Each broadcast will be followed by a live 20-minute conversation and Q. and A. between Yerushalmy and a selected scholar or artist.
When: 3 p.m.
Where: Nettay.com, and the streams will be archived and available through May 24 here.
