One amused observer said: “Ed Sheeran is giving Troy Bolton when his tux was too tight.”
Another brutally chimed in: “Wtf is even this he looks so out of place ksksksks.”
A third fan expressed their amusement, saying: “I love Ed Sheeran cosplaying as Troy Bolton at the #MetGala.”
Meanwhile, another added to the banter: “Ed Sheeran looks like he’s about to have A Night To Remember #MetGala.”
Ed was a standout among the stars that graced The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the annual themed gala, donning an outfit aligned with the “Garden of Time” theme.
The celebrity-laden event saw some unusual ensemble choices, and Ed’s attire was certainly up there.
Other celebrities who wore eye-catching ensembles included Doja Cat, who turned heads with her near-nude towel attire, Emily Ratajkowski who chose to fashion a sheer, crystal-embellished dress sans undergarments, and Rita Ora whose X-rated transparent dress made quite the statement.
Whilst a fair share of criticism was targeted at Ed for his audacious choice of wardrobe, some of the male attendees fell under scrutiny for their lacklustre outfits, including the co-chairs of the event, renowned singer Bad Bunny and Thor actor Chris Hemsworth.
