Why should humans have all the fun at the “Met Gala”? Cockroaches 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. Netizens had a field day after seeing the cockroach making its debut on the “Met Gala” red carpet.

This year’s “Met Gala” theme is “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 fund-raiser for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted about 400 guests.

Two stars – Karlie Kloss and Serena Williams – used the night as an opportunity to announce their pregnancies.
