This year the gala(盛会), which is an annual fund-raising event for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, was held under the theme(主题)China: Through the Looking Glass”(中国:镜花水月).The event sought to explore(探究) andcelebrate(庆祝) the influence of Chinese culture on fashion, painting, films and art.

Chinese people across the Pacific Ocean also had a good time, not only(不仅) because there suddenly popped up a group of Chinese stars they are familiar with, but also(而且) for American singer Rihanna’s yellow, fur-trimmed cape, which stole the show. In Chinese culture, yellow symbolizes(象征) prestige(声望), good luck(好运) and power(权力).

Netizens(网友) couldn’t help but link this fur-trimmed cape(毛皮斗篷) to “Jian Bing”(煎饼), a traditional breakfast in north China. Those creative enough even made some quite “yummy” Internet memes with the dress, mixing it with photos of jian bing and pizza.
