While the 2024 Met Gala brought the return of fashion’s biggest night, it was an equally fun night for those at home. Fans were quick to document the event via memes and tweets, commenting on everything from first-time guests to a surprise Wicked moment.
Below, some of the best memes and tweets from the May 6 gala.
A Wicked Reunion
Even though Wicked doesn’t premiere until the end of the year, co-stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo have been celebrating the movie musical every chance they get, which included a sweet reunion at the Met Gala carpet.
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out that the pair’s contrasting ensembles could represent the “dark and light” of their Wicked characters, while another gave a shout-out to the stars’ passionate promotion for the film. “I can’t tell if the Wicked publicists have the easiest or hardest job ever since Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande have been promoting on overdrive for a year now,” they wrote.
“Are Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande just going everywhere together until #Wicked comes out?” wondered another.
Grande pointed out that her mother-of-pearl gown by Loewe had pink and green hues, “for Glinda’s bubble and for Wicked.” She also teased to Vogue that there would be “a little something soon” to look forward to, while Erivo praised her “spectacular” cast while wearing custom Thom Browne.
Lana Del Rey & Kim Kardashian’s Interview Moment
Speaking of dynamic duos, Kim Kardashian reunited with her friend and recent SKIMS muse Lana Del Rey for their own interview with Vogue — during which Kim and Alexander McQueen’s Seán McGirr had to momentarily swerve to avoid being hit by the “Margaret” singer’s larger-than-life ensemble.
“I’m crying at lana nearly knocking out kim with her outfit,” wrote one user, with another saying they were “concerned” for the SKIMS founder. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the making of this Met Gala moment — and fans couldn’t help but celebrate the surprise pairing. “THIS IS HUGE TO ME,” wrote one fan.
