Exploring 7 of the funniest Met Gala memes
Met Gala memes present a creative fusion of fashion and humour, and have become an indistinguishable part of everyday pop culture. From relatable jokes to chuckle-worthy analogies, these memes are often loved by people who keep up with fashion events across the world.
Some of the best Met Gala memes that have been popular recently are:
1) Pokemon Evolution - Lil Nas
The humourous meme reimagined Lil Nas' three-part Atelier Versace outfit from the 2021 event as a three-step Pokemon evolution.
The American rapper appeared at the event in a high-collar golden cape with a sweeping trail and had to strip down to a golden armor with the help of a team. Hiding underneath the armor was his final ensemble - a glamourous metal-embroidered catsuit.
2) Lana Del Rey x Yellowjackets
This meme went viral among Yellowjackets fans as they found Lana Del Rey's outfit from the 2024 Met Gala to be oddly similar to that of the Antler Queen from the popular show. The Grammy-winning singer returned to the event for the first time since 2018 and was seen donning a contemporary outfit.
Lana was all glammed up in a silk corseted dress with hand-embroidered hawthorn branches. She complemented the look with a headpiece featuring real hawthorn branches covered with a sheer tulle veil.
3) Opening Up to someone - Rebecca Ferguson
Introverts related humorously to Rebecca's all-covering 2024 Met Gala outfit. She appeared at the event in a silky billowing moiré floor-length cape.
The Swedish actor had everyone stunned when she removed the cape to reveal a sequin high-neck frock dress. The glimmery dress was embroidered with over 60,000 blue and green Swarovski crystals shaped like flowers.
4) What theme?
With most male celebs appearing at the 2024 Met Gala in tuxedos, the internet couldn't help but chuckle at this 'Spiderman duplicates' meme. The meme light-heartedly critiqued how the men kept things simple but failed to comply with the nature-oriented theme - "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."
5) Locked Game Character
Gamers had a field day when they saw Kim Kardashian at the 2021 Met Gala and couldn't help comparing her outfit to the locked characters in popular games which are often blacked out.
Kim Kardashian had the crowd surprised as she walked the carpet wearing an all-black hoodie with two long trail sweeps. The body-hugging dress obscured even her facial features and only added to the mystery of the ensemble.
6) Sewing class - Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny's contemporary look at the fashion event in 2024 sparked memes about sewing classes. The rapper wore John Galliano's custom Maison Margiela Artisanal Collection. Bunny's dress featured a dark satin corset which was paired with a navy wool jacket decorated with grosgrain lapels.
7) Arriving with snacks - Michael Shannon
Michael had the internet rolling as he appeared at the 2024 fashion event with what appeared to be a yellow bag of potato chips.
The Academy Award-winning actor wore a double-breasted Balenciaga tuxedo to the event, but what stole the limelight was the purse which looked like a chip bag. The Balenciaga purse is called 'Chips Bag' and is priced at over $1,850 on the brand's website.
