A quintessential Met Gala starter kit includes back-to-back red carpet appearances by stars, followed by a meme fest that the Internet hosts. Michelle Yeoh was the biggest contributor to this year’s Met Gala meme fest. The veteran actress made her red carpet appearance in a metallic foil Balenciaga gown along with jewelry by Cindy Chao. While a section of the Internet was enchanted by the actress’ look, other were busy curating memes. The food wrapped in aluminum foil meme template was definitely recurring on X (previously known as Twitter).
A user hilariously summed up her look – “My tinfoil before I rewrap the rest of my burrito to save for later.” LOL.

POV: “Michelle Yeoh stuns at the Met Gala,” wrote a user posting a picture of a chocolate wrapped in a silver foil. The inspiration is in the picture.
