Met Gala: When fashion slayed and social media played

Time of India

Every year, the Met Gala turns into a full-blown fashion spectacle—and let's be honest, while the red carpet dazzles us, it's Twitter (or X now?) that truly steals the show. The moment celebrities start walking in, the internet comes alive with wild reactions, hilarious memes, and downright savage one-liners.

It's like the world collectively becomes fashion critics, meme-makers, and pop culture commentators all at once.
Whether it's Kim Kardashian squeezing into something gravity-defying, Jared Leto showing up as a giant cat, or someone wearing an outfit that looks like it was made of leftover tinfoil, social media has something to say. And the best part? It's instant. No one holds back, and that's what makes scrolling through the reactions more fun than watching the actual red carpet coverage.
These tweets aren't just about fashion—they're mini-comedy sketches, cultural commentary, and pure chaos rolled into 280 characters. It's like everyone's invited to the afterparty... from their couch. The Met Gala may be an exclusive event, but thanks to social media, we all get to laugh, gasp, and gossip in real time. Honestly, it's the reactions that make the whole thing feel real and ridiculously fun.
Here are some of the best social media reactions:
"Both of my personalities trying to coexist together"
'that dress is disgusting, who let her out in public' 'fire your stylist girl' 'he looks boring as f###' #MetGala #MetGala2024
This is the Olympics for people who grew up watching Joan rivers
