A dapper Barry Keoghan, Rihanna and Lil Nas X turned heads
The annual Met Gala took place in New York last night, with some of the biggest celebrities in the world attending the glitzy event.
If you're wondering what the Met Gala is, technically it's a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute - but really, it's an opportunity for famous people to don extravagant costumes and have their photo taken by the world's press as they walk up a very large staircase.
The Gala always has a theme, and this year's was 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty', paying tribute to the German fashion designer who died in 2019.
With tickets priced at a whopping $50,000, it meant that attendees really had to up their game to turn heads.
That was especially true of rapper Lil Nas X, who is no stranger to an OTT look - and whose glittering painted body spawned more than a few memes...
Pedro Pascal, meanwhile, wore a very unusual combination of long red trenchcoat, short-shorts and black patent boots...
A pregnant Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky also turned heads, with the former wearing Valentino and claiming that she felt 'expensive'...
Irish actor Barry Keoghan went for a comparatively tame look in Burberry...
Gigi Hadid, Anne Hathaway, Billie Eilish and Dua Lipa (who was one of the co-chairs this year) were also praised for their look...
Jennie Kim of K-pop girl group Blackpink is also dominating social media this morning because of the group's insane fandom:

Perhaps summing up how utterly ridiculous the whole thing is, a cockroach was also snapped on the red (white?) carpet, with both photographers and bystanders whipping out their cameras to film it.
