The #MetGala returned after a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic with the theme ‘In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.’
Of course, a Met gala wouldn’t be complete without people on the Internet commenting on the night’s more bizarre attire. We’ve compiled a list so you can catch up with some of the best memes and tweets from this year’s gala.
