The Met Gala 2024
Doja Cat, known for pushing boundaries and keeping people on their toes, caused quite a commotion when she left the Mark Hotel in NYC to attend the Met Gala…in a towel.
Every year, the Met Gala is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and fashion enthusiasts all around the world tune in to see what their favorite celebrities are wearing. This year’s theme honors the Institute’s new exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” and the official dress code is “The Garden of Time.”
This year, the celebs in attendance toyed with the concept, with certain visitors, such as Zendaya, Tyla, Mindy Kaling, and Greta Lee, praised for nailing their appearances, while others, such as our very own Chris Hemsworth, were chastised for not getting it right. As is customary every year, there was much discussion over the topic and why certain celebrities appeared to have chosen to ignore it entirely.
People quickly flocked to the internet to voice their confusion/disgust/admiration at the singer’s outfit, with some even comparing it to earlier looks worn by Rita Ora and Lady Gaga.
‘What is this?’
“Doja cat… what is this?” one baffled person wrote on X.

‘In love with that woman Doja’s mind’
“She’s kidding right?” someone else asked.
“Doja Cat wears a towel from Temu for the #MetGala,” someone teased.
“When someone forgets to pick up your clothes from the cleaners,” another joked.
Another celebrated, “The one Met Gala look I already own!”
“Doja Cat showing up in a post shower look to the met gala i am in love with that woman’s mind,” another gushed.

‘Was it Ye’s idea?’
One individual speculated that Kanye West may have had something to do with the strange costume, given his history of clothing wife Biance Censori in a same near-naked fashion.
“Did Kanye dress Doja Cat for tonight’s Met Gala?,” one viewer wondered on X. “At the star-studded event, when designers go to great lengths to ensure everyone looks their best, @DojaCat donned a towel. Was it Ye’s idea?”
‘Should be banned’
Others were convinced that the ‘Paint the Town Red’ singer should not be permitted to attend dressed as she was.
“So unclassy,” one person commented. “She’s making a joke of the Met Gala, stop inviting her.”
“A mess, ban her immediately,” someone else said.
Someone else remarked, “Doja Cat should be banned from the #metgala if this is the final look…”
