New York City was the centre of attention last night as the 2023 Met Gala, a highly-anticipated annual fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, took place. The theme of this year's event, "Lagerfeld: A Fashion Legacy," celebrated the late fashion designer and creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, who is known for his work with renowned fashion houses such as Chanel and Fendi.
The Met Gala is known for being a star-studded affair, with many of the world's most famous celebrities and personalities in attendance, showcasing their stunning outfits and taking part in the night's festivities. The event is not only a celebration of fashion and art but also an opportunity for attendees to engage in philanthropy and support the arts. However, over the years, the event has also become a platform for social media users to share their thoughts, jokes, and memes about the night's events.
Here are some of the best Met Gala memes:
