After a year without a Met Gala, the stars returned this year with creative costumes based on what is possibly the worst theme ever. (We’ll save you the Google search. It was America: Lexicon of Fashion.) At least they knew the assignment was to ignore that.
Co-host Timothee Chamalet took a page from Dr. Strange’s book and shined in silk and… sweatpants. Kim Petras came as a horse. And Dan Levy showed up as David Rose. And, since outlandish outfits beget funny tweets, here’s the best Met Gala memes and tweets about 2021’s extravaganza. During which Jason Derulo probably did not fall down the stairs.
