These Met Gala 2024 memes have taken over TikTok (and we can't look away)

Fashion's biggest night of the year has arrived, which means the Met Gala 2024 memes, jokes, and TikToks have taken over.

The hotly-anticipated event brings out the biggest celebrities in the most outrageous and decadent couture, but even more than that, it inspires the greatest internet memes. While the Met Gala serves as a charity event that supports the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute, it's also a full night of entertainment and an excuse to judge people's outfits from the comfort of your home, and maybe even in sweatpants.

This year's theme for Met Gala 2024 is Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, with the official dress code being “The Garden of Time.” The exhibit will showcase 400 years of fashion and “will explore notions of rebirth and renewal, using nature as a metaphor for the impermanence of fashion.” The carpet was a lush greenish-blue colour with a white centre and surrounded by foliage, giving that true ”Garden of Time" feel.

Despite the posh nature of the entire evening, it wouldn't be a high-class event without some snarky comments about outfits, the setting, and literally anything you can think of. It's a reminder that even if most people aren't invited to this exclusive event, they can still post hilarious jokes online about it.

Check out our round-up of the best jokes, memes, and TikToks from Met Gala 2024.

People have a lot to say about the carpet itself

As we said, the carpet's theme was “The Garden of Time,” but that didn't mean there weren't plenty of funny comments about the very green carpet and tent. Ira Madison called it a “leftover Evermore set," referring to Taylor Swift's earthy album, while Gabe Bergado called it a “Baja Blast” carpet.

Jason Derulo has fallen down the Met steps

If you haven't laughed about Jason Derulo “falling” down the stairs, you haven't lived. The ongoing lore is that Derulo did a dramatic backflip down the red carpet stairs in 2015. Unfortunately, or fortunately for him, he did not actually fall down the stairs, but the internet took it and ran with it — even making jokes nearly a decade later.

The photoshops took over

It wouldn't be a Met Gala without people photoshopping the most ridiculous things on the red carpet. From the famed Oompa Loompa actor who worked at the disastrous Willy Wonka Experience in Glasgow, to Taylor Swift's private jet, there's room for everyone on the Met Gala carpet.

Zendaya is the Katniss to Law Roach's Cinna

As co-host of Met Gala 2024, Zendaya had to show up and show OUT — and she came with her trusty superstar stylist, Law Roach. And of course, the Hunger Games jokes had to be made.

For reference:

Let. People. Judge. The. Red. Carpet.

Barry Keoghan's dapper look inspired 1800s-era jokes

Ariana Grande “teases” something coming from Wicked

While speaking with La La Anthony on the red carpet, Ariana Grande said that fans can expect something Wicked-related soon ahead of the film premiere later this year.

Lana Del Rey's giving Yellowjackets

The musician showed up to the Met Gala carpet adorned in a woodland creature-type outfit that some said reminded them of the “Antler Queen” from the show Yellowjackets. If you haven't seen it, there are some heavy themes, so hopefully, Lana is going just for couture and not the brutal Antler Queen.

The memes are endless

Rebecca Ferguson's gown is inspiring for any joke.

Nothing like a Romeo and Juliet reference.

Or Dune.
