Karlie Kloss made a humorous reference to an iconic meme from her past appearance at the MET Gala six years earlier.
The supermodel, 32 – who is currently pregnant with her third child with husband Joshua Kushner – also attended this year’s annual star-studded event, as well as one of the after parties in NYC on Monday.
While sitting in the backseat of a vehicle while heading to a bash, the star held up a small mirror as she touched up her lipstick in a snap uploaded to her Instagram stories.
The image appeared to be a call back to a previous post she had shared during the 2019 MET Gala when she looked at her reflection with a mini compact mirror while teasing her look for the evening.
In the caption, she had penned: ‘Looking camp right in the eye,’ and the phrase soon went viral with fans on social media at the time.
And during an interview with Vogue in 2023, Kloss admitted she ‘still gets trolled’ over the ensemble that she had worn for the theme Camp: Notes on Fashion.

Karlie had donned a gold, Gucci minidress that contained black puffy sleeves and was designed by Dapper Dan.
When she came across the outfit for the Vogue clip, the beauty initially simply stated, ‘Oh boy.’
The model then recalled, ‘Yes this was the MET Gala that I think I broke the internet, but not in a good way. I still get trolled about this look, where I was “looking camp straight in the eye.”
‘And I still get, rightfully, trolled. I’ll accept it, honestly I deserved that one,’ she jokingly added.
In regards to the look itself, Karlie explained, ‘This was a design created by Dapper Dan, for Gucci. I met Dapper Dan actually through an episode of Project Runway, which I was hosting at the time.
‘And I did a challenge in his studio in Harlem and he and I really hit it off. And I think he offered to design my dress.’
In her latest picture where she recreated the viral meme, Kloss could be seen wearing a short-sleeved, black knit dress as well as a pair of over-the-knee, crocodile-embossed boots.
Her locks were parted in the middle, and fell down in light waves to brush past her shoulders.

Hours earlier, Kloss had showed off her growing baby bump while donning a long-sleeved, custom LUAR black dress that had ʙuттons on the front as well as a plunging neckline.
The skirt fell down to cascade around her into pleated details and she accessorized the look with a sparkling, snake-like necklace and matching earrings.
As she walked the blue carpet, Karlie gently cradled her baby bump as she paused for a pH๏τo session upon arriving to the venue.
The theme for celebrities attending the 2025 MET Gala was Tailored for You – which coincided with the museum’s exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.
Nearly two months earlier, the model announced that she is expecting baby number three with husband Joshua Kushner.
The couple tied the knot in 2018 and are already parents to children Levi, four, and Elijah, one.

Kloss also jumped to social media to give a glimpse at her baby bump and typed out, ‘Three’s a party.’
During an interview with The U.S. Sun last year in July, the star opened up about motherhood.
‘For me, becoming a parent has opened my heart, my life, and my understanding of and deep empathy for our collective human experience in more ways than I could’ve imagined,’ she gushed.
Karlie also explained that, ‘My health and wellness needs have evolved over time. What I need now as a mother is much different than what I needed when I was at the beginning of my career.
‘Since becoming a mom of two, it’s trickier to find time to prioritize my wellness. I have two other humans to care for, so being efficient is the name of the game now.’
The model stated that her mornings begin with her taking supplements and drinking a smoothie.

She later added, ‘As I’ve become busier, I’ve become more and more aware of how important it is to make sure my health and wellness is up to par.’
Karlie also stressed the importance of listening to one’s body. ‘When you feel brain fog coming on, take time to rest or power nap. If you can’t do that, feed your brain with the right foods like leafy greens, avocados, eggs, and salmon.’
