Sarah Jessica Parker Delivers a Devastating Comeback to 1 of Her Met Gala Haters

Updated on May 8, 2016 at 12:00 PM

There were plenty of celebrities at Monday night's Met Gala in NYC, and Sarah Jessica Parker's appearance certainly stood out. The actress looked like she pulled her look straight out of the musical Hamilton, so much so she became the butt of one of the internet's savage jokes about the event. As luck would have it, not only was the outfit definitely based on Hamilton, but SJP was keen on letting everyone — including one unlucky Instagram hater — know just how flawlessly she nailed the theme. (For the record, it was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology.) Keep reading for more details, plus Sarah's amazing comeback to the criticism.

First of all, let's all take a minute to check out the look. Sarah was dressed in Monse for the Met Gala, and in an after-the-fact interview, she explained the significance. Basically, she found inspiration from the musical Hamilton but tried to embellish the outfit using modern and more technologically advanced techniques. In other words, she pretty much nailed the theme, regardless of whether or not you liked the look.

Enter this Instagram post, which suggests SJP — along with Diane Von Furstenberg and Madonna — "didn't get the memo." Sarah took it upon herself to respond to the post with a brilliant, informative comment:

Got the memo. Always welcome thoughts but I'm a stickler for the theme and pay close attention to what it means. Every year with great consideration, research and conviction. The understanding of man and machine, how they intersect, when and why is what we considered. Perhaps you weren't aware of the technology used in the details and embellishments of the design. Or perhaps you simply didn't like what I wore which is completely fine but you can't accuse me of not paying close attention and adhering to the theme. With respect and warmest regards, sj

You have to admit, it's kind of remarkable that SJP delivered an epic comeback, schooled her hater a little bit, and even signed the comment with "respect and warmest regards." The whole thing reminds us of that moment from The Devil Wears Prada, you know?
