The much-awaited Met Gala is finally here and A-listers from Hollywood turned up in their stylish best flaunting their fashionable side on the red carpet. And as always, this year’s Met Gala also gave rise to a fodder of memes from netizens who could not help but poke fun at some of the bizarre fashion choices of celebrities as they took to the red carpet. This year’s Met Gala theme was ‘Gilded Glamour’ or 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion’ – a time from the 1870s that featured ‘excess grandiosity’.
There were plenty of exquisite looks with Blake Lively, who co-chaired the event with husband Ryan Reynolds taking home the title of ‘Best Dressed’ hands down with a colour-changing dress that won over the red carpet. Her dress turned from copper to aqua green- representing the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and Grand Central Terminal.
