Jokes spread when supermodel [Gisele Bündchen’s](http://Gisele Bündchen) hit the [2018 Met Gala red carpet](http://time.com/5268745/katy-perry-met-gala-2018/) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday night with a choice accessory, her husband the athlete. Some of Brady’s male counterparts wore forgettable tuxedos, but the Patriots quarterback chose to capture the theme, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” To that end, Brady complemented his wife’s gold Versace gown with a Versace look of his own. He wore a black turtleneck under a black jacket with golden scrollwork embroidered on his lapels. Bündchen said her date looked like a “cutie.” > [](https://twitter.com/OnlyInBOS/status/993631814534254598) But the piping detailing on Brady’s jacket served up some very irresistible joke material for the internet on a platter. He wasn’t dressed as a magician or a ’90s Nicolas Cage villain or a bunch of other takes that quickly took over the internet in meme-form.
