The Met Gala, one of the most prestigious fashion events in the world, saw numerous celebrities climb the famous steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City to showcase their surprising and disruptive looks last night (May 6).
From Kim Kardashian’s dramatically tight silver corset to Doja Cat’s soaking wet dress, in addition to Zendaya channeling a peacock, the rich and famous brought their A-game at the Met’s Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion-themed fundraiser.
Highlights
- Ed Sheeran got his foot stuck in FKA twigs' dress, creating an awkward Met Gala moment.
- Lana Del Rey's Yellowjackets Antler Queen headpiece kept hitting Kim Kardashian during an interview.
- Tyla needed assistance from a team of men to navigate stairs due to her restrictive Balmain dress.
But the event wasn’t devoid of blunders, and we’re not talking about Blake Lively’s heartfelt absence or Jennifer Lopez’s Schiaparelli gown that left her “barely” able to walk.
Among the long list of awkward moments that occurred at the exclusive fashion gathering, Ed Sheeran stood out after accidentally getting his foot stuck in singer FKA twigs’ Stella McCartney dress, an X user (formerly known as Twitter) shared.

At some point, the same man mocked: “Now let’s do it with feelings.”
At the end of the questionable clip, the photographer asked: “How do you say ‘right’ in Korean.”

They should install one of those chair lifts for the elderly to help the women up the stairs.

The Met Gala is meant to be avant garde. This is where designers get to flex their creativity and step outside of their comfort zones while staying true to their brand. Some hit the mark and some miss. If you’re looking for classic, sleek, refined gowns tune into the Oscar’s.

I think most celebrity goals are to come up with the most extremely ridiculous outfit that gets the most attention. Some of them are so wild.
