Just blocks from Madison Square Garden, the 2026 Met Gala turned into basketball’s biggest runway. Stephen Curry and Ayesha Curry arrived in matching black Balenciaga looks and instantly stole attention at the 2026 Met Gala. As cameras flashed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a tiny slip during their glamorous entrance sparked chaos online.

Stephen Curry brought full superhero energy to the Met Gala in a black hooded trench layered over a sharp black suit, while Ayesha Curry turned heads in a sheer strapless gown paired with a solid bodysuit and sleek leather gloves. The 37-year-old owned the carpet with her effortless confidence. Still, even amid fashion’s biggest night and a room packed with elite athletes, Curry admitted part of his mind remained glued to the NBA playoffs unfolding miles away.

Meanwhile, making their way toward the carpet, Steph accidentally stepped on the long train of Ayesha’s gown. He instantly pulled away, but cameras had already caught every second of the awkward little moment. Ayesha Curry then turned around and fired a sharp side eye at her husband, and social media completely lost control.

Within minutes, the clip spread everywhere as fans replayed the tiny fashion disaster like it was playoff drama. Meanwhile, the couple casually kept walking, making the whole thing even funnier online. Fans then took to their social media and the comment section to share their thoughts on Ayesha’s reaction to Steph’s accidental moment.

Fans don’t like Ayesha side-eyeing Stephen Curry

“She’s so mean,” one of them commented. NBA fans haven’t been fond of Ayesha Curry since August 2025. The accomplished entrepreneur, chef, and actress shared on Call Me Daddy, “I didn’t want kids, I didn’t wanna get married. I thought I was gonna be a career girl and that’s it.” She had her eyes set on achieving her goals. That somehow didn’t sit well with the fans, who immediately called her out for sharing her feelings.

Fans believe that everyone knows Ayesha because of Stephen Curry, and that it was he who got her on the Met Gala red carpet. Therefore, they pointed out that the Golden State Warriors‘ superstar paid for it. “She’s looking at him like he didn’t pay for it,” someone wrote.

Keeping with the sentiments, another one said, “Let’s keep it real, she was only invited bcuz of him lol so let’s relax.”

Then a fan commented, “Most tolerate her presence because of him, but most of us only care about what he has accomplished in the NBA and what he’s still doing in the NBA now.” In one instance, Ayesha apologized to Steph after admitting that athletes were never really her type at first. Still, she eventually fell for the future 4-time NBA champion anyway. Yet, somehow, fans just don’t seem to like her much.

Lastly, someone said, “Imagine being the greatest shooter of all time and having to deal with THAT.” Stephen Curry receiving the side-eye for unintentionally stamping his wife’s dress wasn’t perceived well.

Still, while the internet turned a tiny red carpet mistake into endless drama, Steph and Ayesha Curry once again proved why they remain one of the NBA’s strongest and most admired celebrity couples.
