Met Gala fans blame Jeff Bezos for ‘worst event ever’

Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos skipped the red carpet while attending the Met Gala he allegedly paid $10 million to co-chair.

He was pictured inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art with his wife’s sister, Elena Sanchez Blair.

Meanwhile, Lauren Sanchez mocked over her ’embarrassing’ dancing as she hit the red carpet solo.

Fashion fans slammed Jeff Bezos for sponsoring this year’s Met Gala which they say was ‘gauche’ and a ‘billionaire’s ball.’

Bezos reportedly paid $10 million in exchange for being named honorary co-chair of the event with his wife, Lauren Sanchez.

Several other billionaires were in attendance, including the Soros siblings, Mark Zuckerberg , Walmart heir S. Robson Walton and Mike Bloomberg.

‘Willingly attending the Bezos billionaire ball. A gown can’t change that you’re a [clown] #TaxTheRich,’ one person wrote on X.

‘I think part of the lesson of the Met Gala is that rich people will make everything gauche eventually,’ a second person added.

‘I hate the Met Gala. It’s a glaring display of just out of touch the rich really are,’ wrote a third person.

‘The Bezos leading the Met Gala is a clear example of losers who are rich trying to buy their way into cool,’ a fourth wrote.

A fifth added, ‘Now that we got that out of the way, this was the worst met gala in years and it’s not even close.’

Honorary co-chairs Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were seen kissing inside the Met Gala.

Women dominated the Met Gala red carpet, leaving man fans wondering, ‘Where are all the men?

‘So the men chose not to show up at the Met Gala,’ one person wrote on X.

‘Why I’m I not seeing pictures of men at the Met Gala carpet event, is it an all woman event, yes I saw Sam Smith but then, c’mon. Where are the men?’ wrote another.

‘Where are all the real men?? The manly men?? The Met Gala is like Watching the Twilight Zone IMO!’ a third person added.

This was undoubtedly Lauren Sanchez Bezos’s ball. In the days leading up to the Oscars of haute couture, no one would talk about anything else except fashion’s newest and now most influential patrons.

Controversy abounded as to whether their $10 million buyout of an event once exclusively curated by Vogue matriarch Anna Wintour was appropriate – with the rumor mill in overdrive that many of the A-list regulars had opted of a party that felt less of a benefit for the Metropolitan Museum and more for Jeff’s wife of less than one year.

Though that worry proved to be unfounded – it was a bevy of international celebrity as usual – the injection of Amazon into the $100,000-a-ticket night elicited a further firestorm that has ensured the couple have felt the full headwinds of opposition – even down to the protests they encountered when attending Wintour’s pre gala bash on Saturday night.

On the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Monday night, the ongoing trend of gaunt-looking celebrities appeared to take its final form.

Perhaps the Met Gala was the perfect setting for A-list stars and fashion icons to showcase their slim appearances; after all, the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition is entirely focused on the human figure.

The 2026 dress code, ‘Fashion Is Art,’ instructed guests to wear garments that celebrated the dressed body in the context of art. But amid the rise of weight loss injections being hijacked by skinny-obsessed celebrity culture, a dress code that highlights the human body in all its natural glory has undoubtedly arrived about ten years too late.

Fans were outraged by this year’s Met Gala looks, accusing celebrities of failing to understand the theme of the night, Fashion is Art.

‘Dear god just cancel the event,’ one person wrote on X.

‘Some of these look like or worse than prom dresses,’ added another.

A third person wrote, ‘I waited all year for this and I’m getting “Prom Night in 2012.”

‘Like I swear my Bratz dolls had all those dresses like 20 years ago…. does no one understand the theme is literally COSTUME,’ wrote a fourth.

The New York Knicks confirmed Timothee Chalamet was at the NBA playoff game at Madison Square Garden tonight.

He left his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, to take the red carpet at the Met Gala in her nearly-nude dress all by her lonesome.

Fan were disappointed with this year’s Met Gala looks, and accused celebrities of using Ozempic and not being able to wear any interesting outfits.

‘This met gala on Ozempic,’ one person wrote on X.

‘People are so boring nowadays. No one’s bold or exciting and they’re all on Ozempic too so they all look ghastly anyway,’ wrote another.

‘This year‘s Met gala was sponsored by Ozempic,’ added third.

A fourth person wrote, ‘Streets saying once you get into the Met Gala you just get Ozempic instead of food.’

‘The amount of Ozempic at this met gala, also I think they got the wrong event and confused it with a 60s disco,’ added a fifth.
