"Cockroach steals the show at Met Gala red carpet"

A cockroach made a surprise appearance on the cream-colored carpet at the Met Gala in New York, scurrying past tight security and catching the attention of onlookers and fashion photographers. The insect was seen crawling up the staircase into the venue before being nearly squashed by a photographer. Social media users got a kick out of the fact that a cockroach made it onto the carpet at the event, with some jokingly asking "who was (s)he wearing?" Cockroaches are one of the most common pests in New York City, and their presence is often a cause for fear and disgust.
