Ariana Grande knows how to make an entrance, and this year’s Oscars was no exception. The pop icon arrived on the red carpet in a Schiaparelli couture gown that instantly turned heads. It was avant-garde, it was dramatic, and according to the internet, it was meme material.

The dress, featuring a structured, sculptural bodice and a flowing tulle skirt, was meant to be high fashion. But the netizens are never the ones to let an opportunity pass; they had other ideas. Within minutes, social media was flooded with reactions, and let’s just say some of them were more chandelier than chic.


Ariana Grande’s Dress Becomes Instant Meme Gold

When Ariana Grande stepped onto the Oscars red carpet, cameras flashed, fans cheered, and Twitter got to work. Her Schiaparelli gown, while undeniably artistic, quickly became the subject of internet humor. It wasn’t just a dress it was a statement. Unfortunately for Ariana, the statement was interpreted as everything from an oddly shaped piece of furniture to a deep-sea creature.

It seemed like the internet wasn’t prepared for the look, and Ariana’s bun wasn’t making things any easier!

Clearly, Ariana was fully aware of the buzz her look was generating.

The internet wasn’t holding back on their thoughts, with users finding humor in the surprising simplicity of the hairstyle compared to the extravagant gown.

Of course, it wasn’t just about the bun. Ariana’s couture gown was a feast for the meme makers. One user even joked about her ability to sit down in the dress:

"Please tell me... How is she going to sit down with that dress??"

Another meme "I’m sorry but the bun fits Ariana’s look for tonight #Oscars," suggesting that perhaps Ariana Grande was truly channeling a unique vibe, all from her hairstyle to the avant-garde gown.

Then came the memes that suggested the dress was less “fashion” and more “furniture.” One meme showed a picture of Ariana Grande’s gown placed on a table like a lamp.

This is certainly a different take on what many saw as an artistic statement. Others thought the gown’s look might have been more at home on a runway rather than on the Oscars red carpet.

At the end of the day, Ariana Grande still looked stunning, even if Twitter thought she resembled a fancy light fixture or a jellyfish. Whether it was fashion-forward or just plain funny, her Schiaparelli gown became the Oscars' unexpected viral moment. And in the world of celebrity fashion, sometimes the memes are just as memorable as the dress itself.
