On May 1, 2023, the renowned Met Gala was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The event this year honoured the fashion pioneer Karl Lagerfeld, who passed away in 2019.
Celebrities gathered in New York to praise the designer, donning lavish costumes complete with pearls and starched collars, at the height of the fashion industry.
Speaking of dramatic entrances, we are all in awe of one that is quite odd and unusual. Of course, it belongs to a cockroach. You did read that correctly. This little gentlemen, who made the crowd go wild, was the hottest visitor to unexpectedly show up at the event.
The cockroach can be seen rushing and climbing the Met steps while being guided by photographers in the Instagram video. The infamous “what are you wearing?” query from the paparazzi is audible to the insect. The internet appears to be interested in seeing the shot now after the little man crept up the photographer’s thigh while he was attempting to take a picture of it. The caption for the video stated, “This cockroach, New York’s unofficial emblem, was the sexiest guest on the #MetGala red carpet.
Netizens seemed to be having a good laugh. Few of the comments read:
“The only outfit that matters”
“The real guest of honour. Shoutout to everyone showing him kindness”
“An icon, a legend, the moment”
Well, all we can say is that the cockroach truly slayyed between all those huge celebrities present at the Met Gala event.
