Ed Sheeran's Met Gala Look Sparks Harsh Fan Reactions, Draws Comparisons to 'High School Musical' Star

Critics wasted no time ridiculing Ed Sheeran's attire choice at the 2024 Met Gala, comparing it to Zac Efron's iconic high school dance scene in a popular musical movie.

The renowned British musician attracted attention with his eye-catching ensemble, a radiant light-blue suit that turned heads on the prestigious event's red carpet.

The 33-year-old singer-songwriter wore a striking suit ensemble in a stunning fashion choice. The ensemble was accentuated by a sleek white button-down shirt underneath and a coordinating tie adorned with shimmering rhinestones.

Upon witnessing Sheeran's appearance at the annual gathering, spectators immediately compared Efron's attire to a memorable High School Musical 3 scene. The uncanny resemblance between the "Thinking Out Loud" hitmaker's classy outfit and Efron's character in the movie Troy Bolton's ensemble sparked discussions on social media platforms like X.

Fans reminisced about the iconic moment when Troy playfully sang about a snug suit in the song "A Night to Remember," captivating viewers with his charm and humor.

One person wrote on the platform, "I love Ed Sheeran cosplaying as Troy Bolton at the #MetGala."

A second said, "Can't believe Ed Sheeran chose to bring Troy Bolton's tux from the HSM 3 prom scene back to life for the #MetGala."

"Ed Sheeran had the chance to execute a couture hobbit but he chose Troy Bolton," a third person quipped.

Some also noted the striking resemblance between the vibrant blue attire and the whimsical frilly costume famously donned by Harry Dunne in the comedy classic Dumb and Dumber.

One social media user said, "Ed Sheeran at the #MetGala is giving Harry Dunne from Dumb & Dumber but I love it."

Sheeran joined a constellation of stars who dazzled in their finest attire and made a grand entrance at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the annual gala celebrating the "Garden of Time" theme.

Embracing the opportunity to showcase their unique styles, celebrities like the "Photograph" singer brought unexpected flair to one of the fashion world's most prestigious events.
