As Zendaya followed a parade of gowns which many trashed on social media, some fans took to X (formally Twitter) to bringing her fashion A-game while on theme.
One wrote: What we been waiting for [exhale emoji] zendaya you save every single event #MetGala’
Another said: ‘Zendaya said let me hurry and go save this mess. [laughing while crying emoji] #MetGala’
Many critic took to social media to blast some of the looks, primarily those who chose to wear gowns instead of tailored suits like many interpreted the theme to be.
One star who drew the ire of negative commentary was Zendaya’s Euphoria co-star Sydney Sweeney.
The actress arrived to the Met Gala wearing a simple black, cut-out gown but some fans were not into her look.
People rushed to X, formerly Twitter, to criticize it. Some said it was ‘not on theme’ while others called it ‘dull’ and ‘basic.’
‘I fell asleep, yawn,’ wrote another outraged fan.

When the theme was announced last October, it sparked fears of an ‘appropriation disaster’ from fashion fans.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City revealed that the Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style was inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity.
According to Vogue, the exhibit includes garments, paintings and photographs that explore ‘the indelible style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th-century through present day.’
