'Jason Derulo curse' continues as worker falls behind Maleah Joi Moon at Met Gala

The Met Gala 'Jason Derulo curse' strikes again as Maleah Joi Moon witnessed a dramatic tumble. Onlookers spotted someone taking a spill behind Maleah Joi Moon during the glitzy Met Gala event.

Back in 2015, Jason Derulo became an internet sensation when fans thought they saw him take a nosedive down the Met Gala's prestigious stairs. Ever since, people anticipate whether the viral moment will get a sequel each year, with the meme making its annual comeback.

As Maleah Joi Moon dazzled in her botanical-inspired gown adorned with vibrant red, yellow, orange, and magenta floral patterns, an unlucky staff member was seen losing their footing on the carpet behind her. Although Maleah glanced back to adjust her dress's train, she seemed oblivious to the commotion unfolding just steps away. Complementing her outfit, Maleah donned sunny yellow heels featuring a charming butterfly motif.

Social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, lit up with Met Gala chatter as attendees posted about the mishap. One user commented: "God bless the lady that just fell over at the met gala." Another expressed concern with: "Omg is this woman okay she just fell at the met gala [crying face emoji]." A third chimed in with a mix of humor and worry: "HELP WHO FELL... [crying face emoji]."

The Met Gala, fashion's most spectacular event, takes place on the first Monday of May each year. The 2024 Met Gala is set to dazzle with its theme centred around historical influence and artistic imagery, enforcing a strict dress code.

Fashion queen Anna Wintour handpicks a star-studded mix of celebrities to co-chair the event, and this year's lineup includes Bad Bunny, Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, and Jennifer Lopez. They will be at the forefront of the 'Garden of Time' dress code, which complements the post-Gala fashion exhibit titled 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion'.

Known as the pinnacle of sartorial extravagance, the Met Gala sees celebrities pulling out all the stops. However, not every ensemble hits the mark with the public. This year, confusion reigned as many attendees chose dark, gothic looks over the expected bright and floral interpretations of the theme.

Social media was abuzz with comments like: "I'm confused on this met gala theme, is it supposed to be gothic? " questioned one fan. Another expressed disappointment: "Why aren't celebs following the theme? ! ? ! ? all these black fits like wdym." And yet another fan pointed out the stark contrast: "Pulling up in such gothic tone of colors is so opposite of the theme like please."
