Every year, the Met Gala promises jaw-dropping, headline-making looks on the red carpet by the who’s who of the entertainment industry, and just enough chaos to keep the internet entertained for days.
Following the tradition, 2026 delivered a fresh wave of memes and funny reactions that quickly spread on the internet.
Sponsored by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sánchez, the 2026 Met Gala took place on May 4 at its usual venue, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, with “Fashion is Art” as the evening’s dress code. It was in line with the museum’s spring exhibition, Costume Art, for which the gala served as an opening note.
