Fashion's big night out was full of gilded and not so gilded glamour, with plenty of Met Gala 2022 memes, jokes, and moments to remember.
While the barrage of celebrities dressed in head-to-toe designer 'fits are worthy of our attention, we're all really here for the Met Gala memes, TikToks, and internet jokes, and the moments that sparked some serious discussion. If you're thinking nothing can top Rihanna's spectacular 'fits in her absence, you might be correct.
As the red carpet rolled out on the first Monday in May, celebrities like Blake Lively, Normani, and Kaia Gerber began their ascent to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And Ashley Tisdale now forever has the glory of the first Met Gala 2022 joke: an all-too relatable meme about not being invited to the event.
The internet went in on our favorite celebrities, judging them from behind their screens while sitting on the couch in their PJs (I mean, same). There's no escaping the Gilded Glamour memes for the next twenty-four hours, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the best of the best Met Gala 2022 TikToks and memes below.
Where's My Invite?
Much like our Hogwarts letter, our invite to the Met Gala was lost in the mail. The only thing that makes us feel better is that Ashley Tisdale is also agonizing over the snub and judging the red carpet looks at home like the rest of us.

Outfit Roasts of People Not on Theme
In the Gilded Age full of glitz and glamour, people expected their fave celebs to turn up dripping in gold—only to find the red carpet full of something akin to funeral attire. Is it time we ban tuxes at the Met Gala for good? I vote yes.

Mixed Reactions to Kim K

In the hours following the Met Gala, Emma Chamberlain received no small amount of praise for her hilarious reactions to the Met Gala guests she was interviewing for Vogue. One in particular went viral: her interview with Jack Harlow, which ended with him saying, “Love you, bye,” and her responding, “Love ya!” She then made a face like she couldn't believe what she just said, cracking herself up in the process.
