The 2025 Met Gala has come and gone, but the reactions and memes that flooded our social timelines? Yeah, those are forever.

The one thing you don’t get on Vogue and E!’s livestreams during the fashion event is the unfiltered, deliciously unhinged reactions to celebs’ outfits throughout the night, brought to us by fellow pop culture lovers and stans. Or maybe it’s just your auntie scrolling through Instagram with some things to say about so-and-so’s look for the evening. Either way, we are just as seated for the social media chaos that ensued as we were for the whole red carpet, which is why we’ve rounded up the 25 best reactions to the 2025 Met Gala.
