Each year, the biggest names in Hollywood descend on New York's Met Museum steps to flaunt their fashion-forward looks in the name of charity.
Over the years we've witnessed just about everything - from Rihanna's iconic papal get-up, to Kim Kardashian's nude corset dress and Jared Leto carrying a papier-mâché model of his own head.
That's not forgetting Rihanna's omelette dress and the classic of Jason Derulo 'falling down the stairs.'
But as well as serving some serious looks, the annual Met Gala in New York provides many a meme-worthy moment.
This year's event was no different, with RiRi once again providing some great meme-able moments with her boyfriend ASAP Rocky, while Kim Petras arrived with a horse's head on her chest. Yes, you read that right.
As well as that, Frank Ocean arrived with his very own green-faced baby, while Kim Kardashian was, once again, wearing a pretty spectacular look.
In fact, Kardashian's outfit even led to some memes about her potential inspirations, from franchises like Harry Potter and Alien.
Here are 30 of the funniest reactions to 2021's event.

Some other major meme-worthy moments included Jeremy O. Harris wearing an Aaliyah-inspired opera jacket, and Timothee Chalamet opting for more casual attire in dressed-up sweatpants.
Others tried to channel the Statue of Liberty, with Emily Blunt, Amanda Gorman and Hamish Bowles all sporting tiaras of varying styles.
While these people tried hard to nail the theme, that was not the case for everyone. It won't be the first time some of the Met Gala attendees failed to grasp the assignment, which some of these memes can attest to.
