Kim Kardashian Met Gala memes

Kardashian is no stranger to memes on the internet. However, her appearance at the Met Gala 2021, unarguably, took the cake as the netizens could not help but compare her silhouette with several popular fiction characters and hilarious situations. One of the most popular memes to hit the internet was Kardashian's comparison to Harry Potter's death eaters. The user shared a side by side comparison and wrote, ''Kim Kardashian en la met gala or dementor choose your fighter''. Several fans photoshopped Kim in the pictures of the dementors from the movie. 

Anime fans hopped on the bandwagon as one user referred to the dress as Shikamaru's Shadow possession from Naruto. In another hilarious meme, the user poked fun at Kim by sharing a picture of her with Kendell Jenner and writing, "Kim: Hey! Kendall: Who Are You? Kim: It's Me . . . Kendall: "Me", Who???[sic]." Another fan raised suspicions over the model's identity as they believed it could be anybody under the black ensemble. They wrote, ''How did they know it was Kim Kardashian under that lol technically it could be anyone #MetGala[sic]."
