Joke’s on them.
“Saturday Night time Reside” star Chloe Fineman is being roasted for a “cringe” interview she performed with Stella McCartney, Aubrey Plaza and Madelyn Cline at Monday evening’s Met Gala — with many failing to appreciate it was a bit.
Fineman, 34, was chosen to host Vogue’s red-carpet livestream of the style gala alongside style journalist Derek Blasberg and broadcaster La La Kent, chatting with stars as they arrived on the Metropolitan Museum of Artwork.
McCartney, 51, attended the occasion alongside Plaza, 38, and Cline, 25, with the trio stopping to speak to the funnywoman earlier than issues seemingly went awry.
Viral video exhibits that Fineman first misnamed Plaza, calling her “Audrey” as a substitute of “Aubrey,” earlier than she was scolded by McCartney for not taking the interview “critically.”
“I’ll be extra severe,” Fineman giggled, earlier than awkwardly stating: “My identify is Chloe, and also you took over from Karl Lagerfeld at [the fashion house] Chloe in 1997.”
Many Twitter pundits panned the comedian’s interview, with one writing: “Severely don’t know why Chloe Fineman was chosen as an ‘interviewer’/ why’s she even there.”
One other railed, “That convo between Stella McCartney and Chloe Fineman at The Met was so cringe.”
A 3rd critic chimed in, referencing Fineman’s misnaming of Plaza. “As an Aubrey that at all times will get referred to as Audrey. I really feel my tradition represented,” they slammed.
Nonetheless, the comic was merely palling round with Plaza, whom she met — and made out with — throughout a latest episode of “Saturday Night time Reside.”
“This was a bit, everybody please study some frequent sense,” one Fineman fan tweeted, defending the comic in opposition to criticism.
Nonetheless, some armchair critics had been left unamused.
“Chloe and Derek had been simply cringe as an entire … even when this was a ‘bit,’ it was dangerous,” one tartly tweeted.
Fineman hasn’t hit again on the criticism on her Instagram account, as a substitute sharing a number of re-posts of her glam pink carpet look.
This yr’s Met Gala theme, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Magnificence,” honored the late German dressmaker who was the artistic director of Chanel till his loss of life in 2019.
A slew of superstars together with Rihanna, Serena Williams, Naomi Campbell and Nicole Kidman had been amongst attendees on the annual occasion.
