Summary
Posts targeted looks from Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Janelle Monáe and Doja Cat after the New York event’s “Costume Art” theme and “Fashion is Art” dress code.
Carpenter’s Dior gown made from filmstrips, Monáe’s cable-and-insect outfit and Bad Bunny’s ageing prosthetics drew comparisons ranging from Letterboxd jokes to Dawn FM and Matrix parodies.
As in past Met Galas, viewers mocked both standout and “worst look” outfits, while social media users also joked about their own annual obsession with judging celebrity fashion.
