A-list stars went all out at the Met Gala in New York on Monday night in an effort to embrace the night’s ‘In America: A Lexicon of Fashion’ theme and fans had a field day on social media creating a host of hilarious memes.

Many were quick to share their confusion over Kim Kardashian’s avant-garde Balenciaga look, with one tweeting: ‘Please tell me she isn’t wearing that,’ as others compared her to a soul-eating Dementor from Harry Potter as well as the titular character from Ridley Scott’s Alien.

Elsewhere, the resemblance between Lil Nas X’s gold Versace suit of armor and Star Wars robot C-3PO was noted, while others compared Timothée Chalamet’s Haider Ackermann tuxedo jacket and sweatpants combo to a chef’s uniform.

Elsewhere, Pete Davidson – who stepped out in Thom Browne – was likened to a mad cartoon scientist and male attendees including James Corden and Brooklyn Beckham were lambasted for wearing simple black suits and ties – with one social media user noting that they looked like waiters.

Many others shared that the only person they were interested in seeing walk the carpet was Rihanna, who eventually posed for photographers in a billowing Balenciaga dress.

The hit-maker is known for her out-there Met Gala looks and always drums up excitement ahead of her red carpet appearance.
