Author Katherine Schwarzenegger is not very happy with the Met Gala 2024 looks. Held annually on the first Monday of May, the charity gala saw some of the biggest stars walk up the stairs in their best attire. While the outfits from the event may have become the talk on the internet, it seems like Katherine is not impressed with what she saw at this year's fashion extravaganza.

On May 6, Katherine's mother Maria Shriver shared her Met Gala 2001 look, recalling the time she attended the charity gala. The carousel showed Maria with her parents and cousin Caroline Kennedy.

In her caption of the post, Maria wrote, “It’s the first Monday in May and the Met Gala is underway! Things were a little more low key when I attended back in 2001, but I thought I would share some photos from that wonderful night. Not only did I get to wear this beautiful dress, but I got to attend with both my parents, as well as my cousin, Caroline. What do you think: would we rock the red carpet in these same looks tonight?”
