"How I want the world to treat me."

What do you get when you fill one of the largest museums in the world with hundreds of Hollywood's biggest names dressed in their interpretations of a highly imaginative theme? Well, an X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter) feed full of hilarious Tweets, of course. Yup, the first Monday of May came and went, which means it was fashion's biggest night—the 2024 Met Gala—and the internet had a lot to say about it.
Like every year, the evening saw enough star power to launch a rocket; the co-chair cohort alone included the likes of Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny. The 450-person guest list coupled with the largely ambiguous dress code, "Garden of Time," and the general chaotic New York City energy meant fans were in for quite a ride. The celebrities did not disappoint, and neither did the hordes of chronically online onlookers, who were buzzing about everything from Zendaya's two wow-worthy looks to Doja Cat showing up in a...towel?
See below for all the funniest internet reactions to the gala's most eventful moments.
