Ed Sheeran's shimmering light blue suit at the 2024 Met Gala sparked a wave of online comparisons to Zac Efron's character Troy Bolton in the High School Musical series. 

The British singer's outfit, complete with a matching rhinestone tie, made fans recall Troy's iconic prom scene in High School Musical 3. 

In a viral post on X, one user posted two pictures, comparing Sheeran with a GIF of Troy Bolton in his tuxedo scene from the movie.

While some critiqued his outfit,  others praised the singer for embracing a unique style  compared to more traditional choices from co-chairs Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth. 

The night also saw show-stopping looks from Zendaya, Kim Kardashian, and a range of celebrities.

Doja Cat sported a confusing look, seeming mid-preparation for the event in her towel outfit on the red carpet.
