The best Twitter reactions and memes to the Met Gala 2023
Of cats and cockroaches
While the Met Gala is undoubtedly fashion’s biggest night, it’s also a den for culture vultures waiting for the next viral moment to happen. After all, the Met Gala was responsible for many ‘pop culture resets’ (as the Gen Zs would say). Need we remind you of Rihanna’s infamous omelette dress which had endless re-edits, Emma Chamberlain and Jack Harlow’s awkward “love you” fumble, and the time Kim Kardashian came literally covered in all-black? These moments still get insanely hilarious edits and memes to this day which is why the Met Gala is simply iconic.
This year’s theme was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty and was meant to celebrate the legendary fashion designer’s impressive career in fashion houses such as Fendi, Valentino, his own eponymous brand, and most famously, Chanel. While netizens did expect celebrities to come dressed in black and white and tweed, the Met Gala surprised everyone with some unprecedented moments that will go down in pop culture history.
From cat costumes to cockroach (real!) appearances, here are the best and funniest Twitter reactions to what went down at the Met Gala 2023.
