It's the most prestigious event on the fashion calendar, so it's understandable guests are encouraged to discuss their Met Gala outfits while being interviewed on the red carpet.
But UK comedian James Corden was clearly not willing to play along when host Keke Palmer asked about his look at today'sevent, making an awkward and uninspired joke about his black Gucci suit.
"Tell me, how did you design this look?," Palmer asked the Late Late Show host.
"It's a black tux. Let's not start getting carried away," Corden laughed, before Palmer attempted to make light of the answer: "Oh you weren't buying the compliment?"
"I appreciate it, but it's a black tux," Corden added, before Palmer swiftly changed the subject.
The Prom actor, 43, is attending the Met alongside his wife, Julia Carey.
The pair, who have been married since 2012, posed together on the red carpet in front of a throng of photographers.

Held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this year's theme is In America: A Lexicon of Fashion and will be hosted by co-chairs Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman, and Naomi Osaka.
Fashion highlights of the evening include Kiwi pop icon Lorde. The Green Light singer's regal look was styled by Karla Welch and consisted of a delicately embellished two-piece from Bode and an incredible headpiece, reminding us all that she really is our very own Kiwi goddess.
