The Best Twitter Reactions to the 2022 Met Gala
Fashion's biggest night might just be Twitter's, too.
The Met Gala has arrived once again and all the celebrities are dressing according to theme. This year, the dress code calls for "Gilded Glamour," a continuation of the Costume Institute's premier exhibition, dubbed "In America," which began last year with "A Lexicon of Fashion." The second part of the exhibition, titled "An Anthology of Fashion," will center "sartorial narratives that relate to the complex and layered histories" of the nation's formative eras, according to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
As per usual, the glitzy high-fashion event invites admiration as much as it does commentary from the Twitter masses. From the eyebrow-raising theme to some dazzling outfit reveals, find the funniest tweets about the best (and worst) looks of the night ahead.
Twitter users kept the commentary rolling on the night's theme, "Gilded Age."
