The Metropolitan Museum of Art has canceled an upcoming dinner on Wednesday, November 18 intended to honor French designer Jacqueline de Ribes in advance of the Costume Institute exhibit: "Jacqueline de Ribes: The Art of Style."

Christian Dior CEO Sidney Toledano supported Campell's choice to ditch the formal dinner in the wake of the attacks on Paris last Friday, according to Womens Wear Daily. Instead, the Met will hold a private viewing of the exhibition followed by a cocktail hour with a business casual dress code.
