In the world of internet culture, memes have become a powerful tool for commentary and satire. They have the ability to capture and reflect societal trends and events, often with a humorous twist. Two recent examples of this are the Buen Fin 2023 in Mexico, the launch of Balenciaga's towel skirt, and Aubrey Plaza's dress at the 75th Emmy Awards.
The Buen Fin 2023, a weekend of discounts and promotions, has sparked the creation of viral memes by Mexican internet users. These memes showcase the excitement of finding a good deal, but also highlight the potential negative impact on personal finances [eed8f930]. On the other hand, Balenciaga's release of a towel skirt with a price tag of over 16,000 pesos has generated a wave of mockery and memes on social media. Many people find the garment impractical and question its high price, comparing it to a regular towel [50ea5465].
Aubrey Plaza's dress at the 75th Emmy Awards also became a meme on social media. Plaza wore a yellow dress with a square top and a statement pin that drew comparisons to a Post-it note. Social media users created memes referencing the dress, including one that referenced a Post-it note from 'Sex and the City' and another that referenced Plaza's character April Ludgate from 'Parks and Recreation' [6a5e6d08].
These instances demonstrate the power of memes to comment on and critique consumer culture and the fashion industry. Memes provide a platform for people to express their opinions and engage in humorous discourse, often leading to viral trends and widespread discussions. Whether it's the excitement of a shopping event, the absurdity of a luxury fashion item, or the fashion choices of celebrities, memes have the ability to capture and convey these moments in a creative and relatable way.
Aubrey Plaza's 'Post-it' dress at the 2024 Emmy Awards went viral, with social media users creating memes referencing the iconic 'Sex & The City' breakup scene. Plaza shared a response to the frenzy, including the 'Sex & the City' reference in a collage of images from the night. The dress featured a giant needle-like detail through its square-cut top. Plaza thanked Loewe for the outfit and her team in an Instagram post. The breakup scene from 'Sex & The City' was inspired by the writers' own experiences and the desire to depict the most dismissive way to get broken up with. The dress memes resonated with fans of the show, even though the episode aired over 25 years ago. Plaza's dress and the memes it inspired became a highlight of the 2024 Emmy Awards.
