- Last night (May 6) saw the annual Met Gala take place in New York
- Celebrities walked the red carpet in their most creative outfits, with this year’s theme being The Garden in Time
- However, the Internet couldn’t help Interneting – so here are all the best memes to come out of the night
It’s one of the biggest nights in the showbiz calendar.
And this year, celebrities put on their gladrags and pulled off a show stopping performance at the Met Gala.
Hosted by Anna Wintour to benefit New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, the 2024 co-chair members saw Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez pull out all the stops to make the evening a roaring success.
This season’s dress code theme was The Garden in Time – a concept based on the short story of the same name by JG Ballard.
Written in 1962, the tale follows Count Axel and his wife, the Countess, who live in a remote villa in some unnamed paradise.
But when their idyllic setting becomes at risk of invasion by a furious and fast-encroaching mob, to avoid seizure, the Count is forced to pluck time-reversing flowers from his garden until there are none left.
The story (cheerily) ends with the Count and his Countess entangled in thorny belladonna plants in a decimated and derelict estate.
While, thankfully, none of last night’s attendees met a similar fate, a few had to deal with a mob of their own – Twitter/X users who were following all the action from the comfort of their own homes.
While some were savage, others provided some of the best memes of the year – so we’ve rounded the best up for your viewing pleasure (you’re welcome).

Who they know would have slayed the red carpet
And the main character who would have criticized them all
But at least fans were self-aware enough to realize they were also not serving any looks at home…
