Met Gala 2015: Of COURSE Sarah Jessica Parker's Headdress Is Already A Meme

Well if you will dress like a human emoji....

At the Met Gala last night, Sarah Jessica Parker turned heads by appearing to have turned her own head into some sort of oriental shrine.

Ever a sucker for ridiculously ostentatious head gear - she's previously sported other show stoppers by Philip Treacy and Isabella Blow - she opted for another Treacy creation at last night's black tie affair.

Arguably the most lavish social gathering of the year, the Met Gala has always invited people to go big.

And this year, many a celebrity obliged by responding to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's theme: "China: Through The Looking Glass" in ever more showy ways.

Just take a look at Rihanna's giant yellow embroidered capey-thing and you'll see what we mean.

SJP, though, went down her usual attention-grabbing, borderline caricature route by donning this flame-inspired headdress.

We kinda half like it, but that's possibly just because we've been staring at it for so long that we've forgotten what is normal.

Naturally, the internet has responded in kind, by turning her into a meme.

It is now widely accepted that SJP drew inspiration for her headgear from the fire emoji.

This puts her in good company, as singer Banks seems to have drawn her inspiration from the flamenco dancing emoji.

In her defence, at least she had a go at the theme.

Though lots of celebrities, such as Alexa Chung and Selena Gomez, also took the theme on board, there were also many (ahem, we're looking at you Reese Witherspoon) who seem to have completely ignored it.
