We Dare You Not to Laugh While Looking at the Best Memes From the 2018 Met Gala
As usual, the Met Gala red carpet did not disappoint (except for the whole "no Beyoncé" thing, of course). Stars absolutely glowed while getting into the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination theme — from Rihanna's dazzling Pope-inspired ensemble to Zendaya's armored,\ Joan of Arc look.
And also as usual, fans did not disappoint with their commentary, comparisons, and hilarious meme reactions to the night's most fascinating styles. First and foremost, Kris Jenner gave Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans a more recent version of her infamous meme, "You're doing amazing, sweetie."
What can we say? Same hair, same Kris.
At least we have a new updated version of the “you’re doing amazing sweetie.” meme #MetGala pic.twitter.com/r7y4l4PewC

Zendaya fans were also quick to juxtapose The Greatest Showman star alongside Joan of Arc, the French heroine who inspired Z's all-gray look.

Many were unforgiving of Selena Gomez's over-the-top spraytan, comparing her and Kylie Jenner to SpongeBob and Patrick.

Others were quick to notice how similar the red carpet looked to an average day on set of A Young Pope. Many fans tweeted out reactionary GIFs of Jude Law from the series, either judging other peoples' outfits or walking the carpet himself. "Can we just call the #metgala what it clearly is, which is YOUNG POPE COSPLAY," one fan tweeted.

Others poked fun at why Beyoncé didn't show up in the first place. After all, she's already rocked the theme. She doesn't need to rehash it!

Sure she didn't attend because she was like : "Been there, done that, next please" pic.twitter.com/UCt9sH9T0b— theophilus silas🏳️🌈🇳🇬 (@theophilussilas) May 8, 2018
Yikes — Shailene Woodley's clunky outfit reminded one Twitter user of Lord Farquaad from Shrek. And not gonna lie, with those thick bangs, it's not difficult to see the resemblance.

Bey's not the only whose already done — and consequently slayed — the whole Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination theme. Lady Gaga's been there, done that, too.
The reason beyonce and gaga didn’t show is cause they’ve already done that look. #metgala pic.twitter.com/uWtC1ONMTk

Until fans finally realized, Gaga and Queen Bey were there after all with the most imaginative and impressive costumes of all: invisibility!
