'Not on theme but who cares': Funniest memes and reactions to Sebastian Stan's all-pink Met Gala fit
Gilded Glamour—this was the theme for 2022's Met Gala, with outfits depicting industrialization and growth during the gilded age gracing the red carpet. Marvel star Sebastian Stan took the theme down a different route, donning an all-pink suit, and Twitter is having a field day with it.
The Winter Soldier stepped on the iconic Met Gala steps in New York in a monochromatic outfit. He stood out from other men at the event, who mostly wore a classic black suit or tuxedo as he had on a Valentino overcoat, long sleeve shirt, bomber jacket, trousers, and sneakers—all in pink.
"Spring time in New York," the actor wrote in an Instagram post of his rosy ensemble.
Fans were quick to praise Stan for his outfit even though he didn't nail the theme.
"I don't care if Sebastian Stan is not on theme for the Met Gala, at least he's not wearing a black suit," one netizen wrote.

Theme be damned, Stan still killed it on the red carpet and had one of the most memorable fits of the night.
