A cockroach hit the “Met Gala” red carpet on Tuesday. “Variety” posted a video of the cockroach running up the steps as paparazzi took close-up shots on their cameras.

This year’s “Met Gala” theme is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” in honour of the late fashion designer’s life and work. Throughout his career, Lagerfeld designed for fashion houses including Chanel, Fendi, Balmain and Chloe, in addition to his own brand.
This year’s gala co-chairs are Penelope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa and, of course, “Vogue” editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
The invitation-only fund-raiser for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted about 400 guests.
Two stars – Karlie Kloss and Serena Williams – used the night as an opportunity to announce their pregnancies.
