The Met Gala is one of the most anticipated red carpet events of the year. In case you didn’t know, it’s an annual fundraising gala for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. That is some serious business, but with serious business comes a need for some comedic relief. While all the stars line up in their gorgeous gowns and suits, you can copy us and lay in bed while scrolling through Twitter for the best Met Gala memes.
There’s so much importance and grandeur around the Met Gala (especially with this year’s ‘Gilded Glamor’ theme), but let us commonfolk celebrate with posts from Twitter’s finest comedians. The red carpet had only just begun, yet we’ve already seen tons of relatable tweets that make fashion’s biggest night all the more entertaining. We’ve seen soooo many posts about Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, since they really did steal the show. We’ve also spotted tons of tweets about too many plain black suits on the red carpet, as well as Kylie Jenner’s look.

Plus, the Twitterverse is still left wondering about the whereabouts of a few more arrivals and whether they’re coming at all (hint, hint: Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift).
Keep coming back to this story for more tweets as the night goes on.

If BTS attended the Met Gala, they’d no doubt be the best-dressed and they’d follow the theme to a T.

While critiquing people’s outfits like Miranda Priestly would be so cool, the reality is we’re laying in bed with an avocado blanket.
