"We've been dreaming about this Met for a long time and the theme this year is in such alignment with who I am what I stand for. it's nothing but God that this year was our debut. Everyone killed it. We nailed the theme. and a time was had ☂️," Doechii concluded.

The "Anxiety" hitmaker also posted a video to her TikTok account where she made light of the situation. In the clip, Doechii can be seen laughing while holding her hands up. Set to the tune of The Commodores' track "Easy," Doechii wrote over top of the clip "God forbid a girl needs more umbrellas ☂️😂."

Despite the incident, Doechii went on to arrive at the 2025 Met Gala where she spoke about her outfit.

"I was heavily inspired by Monica L. Miller's book and the exhibit. We studied a little bit on this character called Julius Soubise which really stood out to me. I feel very inspired by him tonight," Doechii said, according to Dazed.
