"Flowers in spring? How original." Met Gala 2024 - in memes and jokes

Today the main fashion event of the year took place in New York - the Met Gala. The Internet is actively discussing the images of stars and coming up with memes on this topic. Spltnk has collected the most interesting ones.

"Не сейчас, малышка. Мама оценивает образы с Met Gala"

This year's Gala theme, "The Garden of Memory," was inspired by James Ballard's short story of the same name, so most (though not all) guests walked the red carpet (which was light green at the Met Gala) in flower-strewn outfits. Users imagined what the heroine of the movie “The Devil Wears Prada,” Miranda Priestly, would say about this. By the way, Priestley’s prototype was Anna Wintour, who is the chairwoman of the Met Gala.

"Я, когда гости восприняли тему Met Gala "Сад времени" слишком буквально"/"Цветы? Весной? Как оригинально"

Zendaya's look deserves special attention - while some admire it and consider it one of the best of the evening, others compared her outfit with the bizarre images worn by the inhabitants of the Capitol in the Hunger Games saga.

"Она выглядит так, как будто только что пожертвовала кучу денег для Китнисс Эвердин на арене"

For some, Zendaya's outfit was filled with something else - the same blue and black dress, which to some seemed white and gold.

The network also made fun of the images of men, who again did not have much room for imagination.
