Aubrey Plaza's Emmys Dress Looked Like A Big Post-It Note—And The Internet Brought The Memes

The top of the 'White Lotus' star's dress for the 2024 Emmy Awards resembled a Post-it note, and fans quickly got to work with funny messages.

Aubrey Plaza's look for the 75th Emmy Awards, a pale yellow dress by Loewe featuring an oversized and distinctively flat and square bodice, drew some inevitable parallels to a popular office supply and led to some distinctive memes.

Plaza, known for roles such as April Ludgate in Parks and Recreation and Harper Spiller in The White Lotus, wore a dress that many likened to a Post-It Note, and people couldn't resist the temptation to turn the dress into a meme.


The memes practically wrote themselves.


Even libraries were getting in on the meme action.

InStyle compared the dress to a pat of butter, which totally makes sense, while others said it resembled a Kraft Single or paper lunch bag.

Some were jokingly scared of what appeared to be a giant pin stuck through the top of the dress' bodice.


Unique outfits are certainly not an uncommon sight on awards show red carpets, but they usually don't lend themselves quite so well to meme creation.

It's not surprising that this one got the meme treatment so quickly. You can't give the internet a blank canvas and expect them not to run with it.

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.
