One viral tweet from the night quoted a photo of the Euphoria actor on the cream and green carpet and read: “close enough welcome back billie eilish.”


“she looks happier than ever,” another joked in an equally popular tweet.

2. And Sydney wasn’t the only attendee accused of emulating a fellow celeb, with Andrew Scott’s choice of outfit lending itself to Barry Keoghan comparisons.

“Why has Andrew Scott come dressed as Barry Keoghan,” one X user asked.

3. Barry himself sparked a whole load of conversation with his brown velvet three-piece suit, top hat, and not one but three watches. Some felt that he was emulating Willy Wonka — specifically Timothée Chalamet’s recent iteration.

“fight back @RealChalamet,” one person tweeted in response to photos of Barry on the carpet.


Another wrote: “Damn they’re remaking Wonka already??”

5. And when Barry teamed up with his rumored girlfriend Sabrina Carpenter as they made their red carpet debut, the jokes got even more creative. One compared them to Alice and the Mad Hatter from the 2010 Alice in Wonderland movie.
