Celebrity Kathy burke red carpet
Rita Ora’s Met Gala outfit prompted no end of funny comments but Kathy Burke surely said it best
Every other red carpet event is going to have to raise its game after this year’s Met Gala generated the most memes we’ve ever seen.
Of all the incredible outfits – we’ve rounded up 24 of our favourite comments here – Rita Ora was deserving of league all of her own.
Rita Ora says she is wearing beads that “age back to the first and second century BC.” She then notes that this means those beads are “older, I think, than anyone on this planet,” which does seem likely. pic.twitter.com/97QUWyvA0N

The singer attended the gala with her husband, Taika Waititi.

Reminds me of when I slipped on the conditioner on holiday in Tenerife and brought the shower curtain down. pic.twitter.com/hO1P2COyQ0

Boom!
It’s not just the humour in this comment, you then get hit by a form of nostalgia you never knew you had!
