As guests climbed the stairs of the famous Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, dressed in outfits that fit the Met Gala 2024’s ‘The Garden of Time’ theme, they sparked a blitz of tweets, jokes, and memes.
The theme draws inspiration from a J G Ballard tale where a count uses a rose from his garden to stall time and escape a mob. With its mix of old and new, the red carpet showcased everything from floral designs to futuristic fashion, and perhaps even a nod to Sleeping Beauty.
But wait, here is the Internet’s take:
Let us kick things off with Kim Kardashian and her attire. She rocked a silver Maison Margiela by John Galliano, highlighting her waistline. This got the Internet wondering: Can she even breathe? Is her waist okay? And, the memes were spot on!
One user shared, “the scream I just let out PLEASE.” Another added, “sis was about to faint, she can’t even have a sip of water or she’ll burst out of that thing idk why she would do that.”
One user shared a snippet from reality TV show Dance Moms as a way to express how they spent watching the Met Gala red carpet. The caption said, “Me in bed judging these thousands of dollars worth of outfits,” with “#MetGala,” trending.
A user posted a series of AI-generated images featuring celebs like Dua Lipa, Zendaya, Taylor Swift, and even Rihanna striking poses in costumes designed by AI. Picture Dua Lipa rocking a gown made of literal garden foliage, or Zendaya sporting a costume resembling a tennis ball.
Bad Bunny’s outfit also faced a string of hilarity on X. One user wrote, “In his Romeo and Juliet era.” A second user shared, “Celebrities spend hours perfecting their looks, only to be outshone by the memes the next day.” One more added, “all that for…. just this…. eat ig!”
Many netizens also chimed in with their thoughts on Dan Levy from Schitt’s Creek. With over 1.8 million views, the post brought on some hilarious commentary. One user commented, “It appears as though he was forced to come.” A second user added, “Looks like the page is loading.”
Remember when Taylor Swift faced some scrutiny during her Eras Tour for the environmental impact of her private jet travels? User @JoelHernon posted a meme with a photo of the star’s jet at the Met Gala. A user wrote, “This just slayed me. I’m one of her cabin crew… it’s a 24 hour job.” Another user added, “I see what you did there.”
Even the steps of the Met Gala 2024 red carpet had social media users abuzz. One user wrote, “It’s giving college production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Another added, “We have ARRIVED. At the very first stairs of the evening.”
