The ModelLand 21,000-square-foot theme park is based in Santa Monica, California, and is the first of its kind. Banks described the attraction as a place where everyone can be a model.

\"A place where all beauty is celebrated,\" she wrote in an Instagram post. \"I can't wait for you to Step Into Your Light.\"

ModelLand joins a list of other huge affairs such as Coachella, Met Gala, CFDA Awards and more that have been put on pause amid COVID-19.

At the moment, there has not been a new set date for the opening of ModelLand.
