Why should humans have all the fun at the Met Gala?
Kakkerlakke can also have a starry moment and Met Gala 2023 turned out to be lucky for them.
A cockroach hit the Met Gala red carpet on Tuesday. Variety posted a video of the cockroach running up the steps as paparazzi took close-up shots on their cameras.
The insect darted from side to side across the carpet, expertly navigating its way up the steps.
The cockroach’s video went viral in no time. Mense had a field day after seeing the cockroach making its debut on the Met Gala red carpet.

But any way, back to the real business.
This year’s theme was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, in honour of the late fashion designer’s life and work.
Throughout his career, Lagerfeld designed for fashion houses including Chanel, Fendi, Balmain and Chloe, in addition to his own brand.
This year’s gala co-chairs are Penelope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa and, of course, “Vogue” editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
The invitation-only fundraiser for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted 400 guests.
Two stars – Karlie Kloss and Serena Williams – used the night as an opportunity to announce their pregnancies.
The gala saw Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Ashley Graham, Naomi Campbell, Pedro Pascal, Doja Cat, Cardi B, Bad Bunny and Florence Pugh unleashing their fashionable avatars.
Bollywood divas Priyanka Chopra and Alia Bhatt also attended “Met Gala 2023”. The gala marks Alia’s first appearance at Hollywood’s biggest fashion night.
