On the first Monday of May, the fashion world comes together to celebrate at its annual soirée. The Met Gala is the celebration of culture and fashion, and the entire world gathers to gawk at, admire, and critique celebrities’ ostentatious outfits. This year’s theme was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. The theme encouraged designers and fashion icons to draw inspiration from 300 years of Black style, from 18th century dandyism to the modern day.

You may be asking yourself: “As an outdoorsperson or a granola girl, what does the Met Gala have to do with me?” Well, just as football championships are often eclipsed by their TV commercials, the true highlight of the Met Gala has quickly become the next day’s memes. Plus, as hyper-focused outdoorspeople, we see adventure inspiration everywhere…including this year’s blue carpet. This is not a best dressed list by any means—this is our best memes list of 2025.

A Roundup of the Best Outdoorsy Met Gala Memes on the Internet

It’s only right that Wild Rye shares a photo of the fastest woman in the world, Sha’Carri Richardson, to attain Queen of the Mountain Status in this Strava-related meme.

Ok, yes, but really it’s: Our crew capturing every second of the camping trip that finally made it out of the group chat…

Coloradans have their Fourteeners—and Angelenos have their Runyon Canyon hiking influencers.

Pictured: Us planning every moment of a 3-day backpacking trip for our friends. (We’re not mad, we’re just Type-A.)

Finally, the 70s! Cardi wearing custom Burberry styled by Kollin Carter. A tailored, velvet, floor-length pantsuit with a ruffled shirt and waist belt?! It’s so 70s funk, Superfly, Bootsy Collins, Prince-inspired. The color + brocade?! One of the best tonight! #MetGala2025 pic.twitter.com/0Od7hVOgSo

The crow at your campsite as it waits to steal your snacks when you aren’t looking.

What we look like on a Friday afternoon, sneaking out early so we can hit the road for the weekend adventure.

Our seasonal allergies’ biggest fears: a trail in full bloom, and this dress.

Our hiking boots after even the shortest of off-trail jaunts. (Burrs? check. Cheat grass? check. Oh—is that a whole stick I see there?)
