Ben Simmons and his Flavor Flav clock bag at the 2024 Met Gala became an instant meme

The clock bag turned Ben Simmons into a supervillain in memes.

Hey, I think Ben Simmons’ fit for the 2024 Met Gala was kind of cool! It had a Sherlock Holmes and Flava Flav feel to it!

Why Flav? You’ve got to look at his bag that was a clock. But of course it didn’t matter that he was one of the sharply dressed athletes at the annual event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, because he got razzed and turned into a meme on X (formerly Twitter), which isn’t a huge surprise.

Here’s a roundup of the jokes made about him after he walked the red carpet on Monday:

Camilla Cabello held an actual block of ice as a purse at the 2024 Met Gala

Yes, a literal ice block was her purse.

No, your eyes do not deceive you. That is a literal block of ice she held as a purse.

Camilla Cabello, known for songs like Havana and Señorita, was one of the many stars who showed up looking fabulous at the 2024 Met Gala. And like many of said stars, Cabello added a detail to her outfit that was right on theme of “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” — there were some references to time.

So how does an ice block fit in? Let Cabello explain, per Extra in the video below: “I feel like it is impermanence and things decaying over time and the beauty in that, so there are sort of rips toward the ends of my dress.”

OK!

Will Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend the 2024 Met Gala together?

It seems like fans will have to wait a little longer for the first Swift-Kelce red carpet.

With the 2024 Met Gala taking place on Monday, May 6, it’s time for celebrities to once again descend upon New York City for the fashion event of the year. This year, the charity gala that benefits The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute has a theme of “The Garden of Time,” with Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth serving as co-chairs.

Previously, stars like Blake Lively, Beyoncé and Pedro Pascal have taken to the glamorous red carpet, so now there’s one big question for 2024: Will Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce be in attendance?

Since the 14-time Grammy winner is resuming her massive Eras Tour with four shows in Paris starting May 9, it was going to be a stretch to fit everything in. It looks like that tour prep will keep the The Tortured Poets Department singer from attending, according to reports from People.

Looks like we will have to wait a little longer for the first Swift and Kelce red carpet appearance.
