The 2023 Met Gala was another social media field day, as fans flooded Twitter with hilarious memes poking fun at some of the event’s most unlikely moments.
While many of this year’s stars donned their most glamorous dresses in honor of Karl Lagerfeld, viewers watching the event at home were quick to find humor in the most unexpected places.
At the helm was Pedro Pascal, who set Twitter alight with his bright red outfit, drawing praise from fans.
And latecomer Rihanna stole the show with her all-white Valentino look, which fans were quick to compare to everything from whipped cream to a frappachino coffee to a duvet cover.
And the event was not without surprise guests, as many fans flooded Twitter with reactions to the arrival of a stray cockroach, before mourning his loss when he found out he had been killed on his red carpet debut.
SO many memes! The Met Gala was another social media field day, as fans flooded Twitter with hilarious memes, including some comparing Rihanna’s dress to “whipped cream.”
Pedro’s look was the talk of the star-studded party as he rocked a standout ensemble from Maison Valentino’s Fall/Winter 2023 ready-to-wear range.
He stepped out wearing a bright red trench coat under a matching red shirt and black tie as he showed off his toned legs with black shorts.
Pedro, 48, completed his look with black socks and shiny black combat boots, a scraggly beard, slicked back hair and gold rings.
Soon after snaps of Pedro’s outfit were released, the actor’s fans flooded social media with support for his incredible look.
One fan shared footage from the red carpet and explained: “Pedro Pascal and his knees arrived.”
Another concluded: “Lol look man it’s Pedro Pascal’s world and we just live in it.”
A third chimed in and said, “Pedro Pascal saw people talking about his knee and thought I’LL GIVE YOU A KNEE.”
One person admitted that Pedro’s outfit was a “ministry,” saying, “The only ministration was Anne Hathaway (and possibly Pedro Pascal’s knee).”
Another person wrote: “Pedro Pascal at the Met Gala gives me the serotonin I need to live another day. This man put his whole knee down for us.’
“His knees give me serotonin!” Leading the way was Pedro Pascal, who set Twitter on fire with his bright red outfit

Elsewhere, Rihanna made sure to make the biggest impression by being one of the last stars to arrive.

The artist removed the jacket to reveal a tailored white dress – also by Valentino – with a floral accent at the neckline; the dress showed off her growing baby bump.

United in sorrow! Fans immediately took to social media to mourn the insect’s tragic death
As she walked the red carpet, she was stopped by Emma Chamberlain, who then asked her a series of questions, but she responded with nothing but meows.
The Vogue interviewer looked at her incredible dress and asked: “So who made it?” to which she replied with a meow.
Emma then looked stunned and simply said “wow” as she looked around awkwardly.
Then she tried to get the interview right and said, “Okay, one more thing. So what was your inspiration for tonight – be honest with me and give me some details.”
Again, Doja Cat simply responded with a series of prolonged meows as the reporter watched helplessly, even covering her mouth in shock.

Fans immediately flooded Twitter with their comments, with one writing, “DOJA IS ACTUALLY AMAZING AT MY SCREAMING.”
Another added: “Sobbing thinking Doja Cat and Lil Nas meet X to decide how to dress as cats and meow at the #MetGala.”
Referring to Emma’s tongue-in-cheek response to the interview, one also tweeted: “Emma is playing it a bit too complicated” “Going into detail I LIIIIIVE.”
And one unexpected figure who stole the show on the red carpet was a stray cockroach who decided to enjoy her moment in the spotlight.
Onlookers could be heard screaming in fear and joy as the unexpected guest arrived.
Still, it quickly attracted the attention of onlookers, including fashion photographers, who snapped at the six-legged cockroach.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there will be an Insect Edition of Project Runway anytime soon.
And many wanted to know which luxury fashion house had attracted the cockroach tonight.
“I didn’t like the look. I have a feeling he could have complemented his antennas a bit better and maybe more neutral? wrote a joke.
“Antman’s costume is 100%!” joked another.
“Who did he/she carry?” asked one Twitter user, while another cleverly mocked a photo of the cockroach in a Louis Vuitton outfit.
Sadly, many fans later heard the devastating news that the cockroach had been killed, as Variety tweeted: “It is with deep sadness that we report that the #MetGala roach has stepped on #RIP.”
Users quickly took to social media to mourn the loss.
One shared an emotional clip and tweeted, “An icon gone too soon,” while another added, “RIP Met Gala cockroach, you will always be in my heart.”
The official Spotify Twitter account joined the US in mourning, sharing: “May she rest in peace.”
A fan also shared “Noooo RIP ICON”.
