Met Gala 2025: ‘Fashion’s biggest night out’ becomes a viral meme extravaganza

Met Gala 2025 has delivered on spectacle, star power, and a whole lot of meme-worthy moments.

Shah Rukh Khan made his Met Gala debut with effortless sophistication and Diljit Dosanjh brought his signature ‘Punjabi aa gaye oye’ energy to the carpet

Who says high fashion can’t come with a side of humour? The Met Gala 2025 lit up New York City once again, as celebrities descended upon the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in their most daring, extravagant looks.

As expected, the Internet is having just as much fun because no red carpet is truly complete without the memes that follow.

Dubbed “fashion’s biggest night out,” the Met Gala isn’t just about couture and cameras — it’s also a major fundraiser for the Costume Institute. Traditionally held on the first Monday in May, this year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” put a spotlight on the richness of Black fashion, from crisp tailoring to dandy-inspired elegance, and the stars have clearly understood the assignment.

As always, Priyanka Chopra made an unforgettable entrance, this time in a striking black-and-white creation.
