11 of the most memorable memes from Met Galas gone by

Orlaith Condon

It’s one of the biggest nights of the fashion calendar and tonight, our favourite celebrities will be hitting the red carpet for a truly unique event.

Yes, it’s that time of year again, when the A-listers get to be a little experimental with their style.

The Met Gala is often hailed as the highlight of the fashion calendar and this year is sure to be no different.

Starting back in 1946, the Met Gala is an annual fundraising ball that raises money for Met’s Costume Institute.

Not only is the event a big one for the celebs, it’s always a stand-out red carpet moment for us mere mortals also, as each year we watch as Hollywood’s elite embrace a new theme.

This year it’s the turn of Comme des Garçons – in honour of the 74-year-old Japanese fashion designer Rei Kwakubo.


Not only does the Met Gala gift us with some amazing red carpet looks each year, it also inspires many more memes than our social media feeds can handle.

So, in honour of tonight’s big event, we’re looking back on some of the best memes inspired by those wonderfully wild outfits.
