The Met Gala is one of the most anticipated events of the gay calendar: When you have celebrities like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Madonna in the same place. wearing custom couture no less, it’s not hard to see why.
Last night’s ball celebrated the new exhibit “Manus x Machina: Fashion in the Age of Technology,” and many celebs attempted to channel a futuristic-techno vibe in keeping with the theme. Some hit it out of the park, while others… well, at least they tried.
As always, Twitter had jokes and reads at the ready. Below, we present to you the 50 best tweets from last night’s Met Gala.
