It's Met Gala time. In other words, the Internet is flooded with videos of celebrities striding around in flashy costumes, and endless comments fly online. Sure, it's a charity event, but let's be real. It's also the prime time to sweat, relax, and conduct a serious costume review.
This event is held on the first Monday of May each year. This year's theme was “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and the official dress code was “The Garden of Time.”
Among these videos, you will find viral videos that have not gone viral yet but are being talked about by people. And of course you have to!

While on the iconic steps of the Met Gala red carpet, she also took a look at the venue's staff. met gala to help her up the stairs, and that's the video we're talking about. But please understand this. She didn't lose her stance even for a moment.
In the video, she had to be picked up by a group of staff to take the next few steps. You can guess how heavy and delicate the designs she had to carry were. This video is currently going viral on social media, and while it's awe-inspiring, it also leans a little on the hilarious side of things.
The video's caption read, “The guy who catches Tyra when she can't climb the stairs lol.” In response, one user wrote: “Please add a little water to make this dress softer.” Another user joked, “Please add a little water to make this dress softer.” A third user added: “And she won't stop doing that pose lol I love it so much.”
Another user commented: “How do I get it removed? Sorry, what?!” Another added: “She hesitates when she thinks about what happens when she wants to use the women's restroom.”
