The Met Gala sees the world’s A-listers gather in all their finery, wearing all the biggest names in fashion for a red carpet extravaganza. It’s all very glamorous—but while it does give us some magical Hollywood moments, it also deals out some fashion faux-pas, the occasional tumble and of course an endless supply of memes. 

While we were treated to some serious serves by the likes of Nicola Coughlan’s Met look and Blake Lively’s red carpet reveal, which helped her retain her title as best dressed once again, we were also treated to a lot of meme-worthy moments.

The Gala has an uncanny way of turning every Twitter user into a fashion critic, and sees the internet’s meme game reach its final form. If you ask us, the Met Gala just isn't the Met Gala if you’re not also scrolling through reaction Tweets—so without further ado, here are the best Met Gala 2022…
