This year many people critiqued Met Gala guests for not following the theme.

i just think that there should be SOME kind of penalty instituted for being invited to the met gala yet completely missing the theme

— karen han (@karenyhan) May 2, 2022

i just feel like the met gala should be conditional upon arrival like an outfit check at the door and if ur not on theme ur getting sent home! sorry the local mall is down the street lets try again

Echoing this sentiment, a Twitter user wrote, “i just think that there should be SOME kind of penalty instituted for being invited to the met gala yet completely missing the theme”. In this context, Suero’s look and outfit looked even more appealing.
