High-fashion and high-wattage celebrities make the Met Gala the highlight of the fashion calendar — but in recent years, the most famous red carpet in the world has also become a breeding ground for Internet fodder.
Rihanna, for one, who year after year has produced Internet-stopping looks that land her on best-dressed lists, has had her yellow Guo Pei cape memed into everything from a pepperoni pizza to an omelette.
Lest we forget Kim Kardashian‘s first Met Gala look, a long-sleeve floral Givenchy dress with matching gloves in 2013, which was likened to a couch and Mrs. Doubtfire or Diddy’s mugging for the cameras in repose in 2018, which was begging to be memed.
