The Met Gala was on Monday, and the biggest names in fashion and entertainment gathered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the exclusive event. This year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” explored the legacy of Black fashion and dandyism with the dress code, "Tailored for You.” It was one of the swaggiest Met Galas with a powerful message. But what comes with beautiful fashion statements is hilarious memes. Check out 20 of the best memes about the Met Gala below.
