The Met Gala 2024, fashion’s most anticipated event, has once again become a hilarious meme fest on the internet. While the charity event for the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute is known for its extravagant couture and celebrity appearances, it also sparks a flurry of jokes and memes online.
This year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with a dress code of “The Garden of Time,” was met with confusion and humor, with many users poking fun at the concept. Some compared the red carpet to the Evermore set from Taylor Swift’s Era’s Tour or a college production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, while others joked about the simplistic nature of the theme.
Celebrities’ outfits were also a major target of internet jokes, with Zendaya being compared to an “Evil sister” and many others being critiqued by self-proclaimed fashion experts on Twitter. One user joked, “it’s time to become a fashion critic again while lying in my bed wearing a 5-year-old shirt with a hole in it #metgala.”
The internet is eagerly awaiting the verdict of Kim Kardashian’s daughter, North West, who has become a fashion icon in her own right. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s arrival at the Met Gala was met with a flurry of jokes and memes.
Overall, the Met Gala 2024 has once again become a fun-filled night of entertainment both on and offline, with the internet providing a hilarious commentary on the fashion industry’s biggest night.
