50 of the Funniest Memes & Roasts About the Met Gala's Oddest Looks

Last night, the lavish and decadent 2021 Met Gala broke the internet for the first time since 2019, due to Covid-related cancellations and postponements. Perhaps starved for some new memetic excitement, Twitter was on fire with the memes last night. Even a snowclone meme emerged as the event was still taking place. Twitter users posted absurdist images of various characters edited onto the red carpet, captioned, '[name] has arrived at the Met Gala.' Throwbacks to past Met Gala memes were reposted and remixed for the occasion. But the celebs who arrived in the strangest getups were the ones who stole the show (and the memes). Maybe the most notable fit was Kim Kardashian's black Balenciaga bodysuit dress that had her looking like the literal shadow of anyone she stood next to. The most meme'd so far might be Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 'tax the rich' gown. Politics aside, that dress was begging to be meme'd. Then there was Rihanna, who showed up fashionably late in a gigantic black parka and a black beanie conspicuously teasing a sparkly sequenced flapper cap underneath. Some honorable mentions include Frank Ocean's Shrek baby, ASAP Rocky's blanket, Grimes' um...sword, and Natalia Bryant's sparkly bubble dress.

99.99% of us plebs weren't invited to the Met Gala, and that means we're totally entitled to poke fun at the glitz and glamour from the comfort of our homes, right? Keep scrolling for the funniest reactions to the weirdest Met Gala looks.
