Met Gala 2021 is here, and the memes have already begun.
Fashion's big night out has always conjured memes galore — cue Jason Derulo falling down the stairs at the Met Gala — but this year really wasn't playing around.
That's due in large part to Instagram being the official sponsor of the Costume Institute Benefit, and gracing everyone's presence with Instagram’s first-ever Meme Correspondent on the Met Gala red carpet: the popular meme creator @SaintHoax. The social platform is also promoting the hashtag #MEMETHEMET to encourage maximum meme-making potential.
