Met Gala 2024 Memes Probably Stole The Show As The Main Event

The 2024 Met Gala wasn’t just fashion’s most watched-for night, but it was also the time for online comedians to shine.
The internet has turned its sharp wit to how A-listers have interpreted the Garden of Time theme, the surprise appearance of AI-generated looks, and the green “red” carpet, even acknowledging that they’re just watching from the sidelines in their tattered pajamas. Some might say the memes are just as spectacular as the fashion event itself.
From Mindy Kaling’s sculptural Gaurav Gupta piece that required multiple handlers (shown directly below), to another Devil Wears Prada connection to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, here’s what the internet had to say about the most head-turning getups.
