How the tribute unfolded

The gathering, organized by meme artist Sunday Nobody, featured a mock funeral procession, a candlelight vigil, a "crying competition," live bagpipe music and a Taco Bell tombstone ringed with wrapped food and drinks. The restaurant had closed more than three decades earlier, but fans still turned out to remember the building.

Reactions and Met memories

The stunt drew attention: Seattle City Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck shared condolences on Instagram, according to local station KIRO7. Teigen has attended past Met Galas — including 2017, 2015, 2014 and 2011 — and has previously cited other reasons for missing the event in years like 2024 and 2018.
