Last night, one of the most famous events of the year for lovers of fashion and haute couture took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York: the 2023 Met Gala. Dozens of actors, singers, models, presenters... They came to the event dressed in their best outfits, as they know that it is a unique opportunity and that many of the photographs they will take will go down in history.
The carpet for this edition has been dyed white, blue and red to pay homage to the designer Karl Lagerfeld, who passed away in February 2019. The impact of the German in the second half of the 20th century is still perceptible in current fashion, as that Lagerfeld is a great reference for all young designers who dare to innovate.
This year there has been everything on the red carpet: repeated costumes (Olivida Wilde and Margaret Zhang), feline references by Jared Leto and Doja Cat, heart-stopping 'dresses' like Viola Davis, Dua Lipa or Penélope Cruz and, above all, a lot of glamour.
One of the big stars of the night was the singer Rihanna, who did not arrive in time for the live broadcast of the carpet and who made the guests wait for almost an hour inside the theater, since she was the last one summoned and actually arrived late.
During the waiting time, the photographers and fans present there began to get nervous and impatient. They were there when suddenly an animal entered the scene. It seems that Jared Leto's 'cat' was not enough and a little cockroach stole the limelight from Hollywood stars.
The animal quickly entered the carpet to the astonishment of the attendees and several photographers began a chase after the bug as if it were a public figure. Those present experienced the surreal scene with humor while recording the comical moment.
Social networks did not miss this iconic moment and thousands of users quickly filled Twitter and Instagram with hundreds of comments and memes about the "most famous cockroach in America."
''The cockroach wears a “total Black” look by Chanel. She made the photographers wait but her entrance was triumphant. And then Rihanna arrived'', ''A cockroach having more prominence than many guests at the Met Gala'' or ''Very fan of the cockroach that stole attention at the Met Gala'' are some of the comments that can be read online.
