Usher's all-black outfit for the 2024 Met Gala on Monday night is resulting in plenty of jokes on social media. For the event, the singer went with a sparkly black suit underneath a cape and a dramatic matching leather hat. He also held a bright red rose in his hand. He spoke about the look on the red carpet with ET. "It was a matter of using my imagination," he said before describing it as "exotic."
In response to the outfit, many fans on social media compared it to The Phantom of the Opera. "Usher also came with a statement that says that any revival of The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway should also bring back the full orchestra," one fan on Twitter wrote. Others referenced Tuxedo Mask from the anime Sailor Moon: "Before I go to bed — I have to say this because it’s so damn funny but someone called Usher 'Tuxedo Mask' and a now i can’t unsee it. Top tier shenanigans! @melayela do your stuff."
