Met Gala 2023 Sparks Meme Fest and Here Are 25 of the Most Rib-Tickling Ones | “A Cockroach Has Arrived at the Met Gala”

Met Gala has been one of the biggest nights for fashion and star-studded lists of prolific guests since 1948. Celebrities, sports personalities, models and many more turned up at the 2023 Met Gala to showcase their best looks. This year, the guests at the event had to follow the theme—Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. The Gala's theme honored the legacy of Lagerfeld, the late designer who helmed fashion houses such as Chanel, Fendi and his own eponymous line and raised funds for The Met’s Costume Institute. People on the internet as usual acted as fashion police and passed judgments on celeb attires. Met Gala is known to spawn a hoard of memes every year and this year was no different. Netizens noticed the absence of Met Queen Blake Lively and they also didn't miss out on the VIP cockroach which sneaked in to taste the glitz and glamour. With a sea of black, white, pearl studded outfits and celebrities strangely acting as cats, the 2023 Met Gala was anything but boring. So we have skimmed the Twitterverse to bring you 25 of the most hilarious tweets about the Met Gala which fantastically sums up the gala night.
