The Absolute Funniest Memes of the 2018 Met Gala
The Met Gala is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, and the Internet is getting in on the fun. If you're enjoying the evening from home instead of walking the red carpet, lucky you: You get to enjoy all of the memes Twitter is churning out in response to the event in real time. This year's theme is "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination," and social media is hard at work dissecting the attendees' interpretations of the suggested dress code, "Sunday best." It turns out fashion's biggest night is also one of its funniest, at least when online spectators are riffing on the goings-on and outfit choices. Ahead, we've gathered some of the night's best memes.

You have every other event of the year to wear fancy, theme-free clothes, folks, have a little fun. We promise dressing up is not uncool when Anna Wintour throws the party.
2. When you take your style inspiration from the man upstairs.
Jared Leto came as Jesus. Color us shocked.
3. When your religiously inspired outfit also somehow looks like fetish gear.

We will listen to whatever Daniel Kaluuya has to tell us.
5. When your look literally goes back in time and rewrites history.
Rihanna, like the pope, is apparently infallible.
6. When your look makes you the leader of the whole damn Catholic Church.
Scratch that, Rihanna IS the pope.
7. When your hat looks suspiciously like the set of Moulin Rouge!.
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly headpieces love songs...
