The Star Awards is a night when celebrities dress to the nines as they strut down the red carpet, showing off their glamorous get-ups.
As fabulous as they look, said outfits sometimes draw hilarious comparisons to the most unlikely items. Remember Elvin Ng’s striking rose-pink suit?
This year’s event was no different. Not long after the stars started parading their #OOTDs, netizens began pointing out similarities to various F&B items.
And we have to say, the memes are deliciously funny.
On Sunday (24 Apr), the Star Awards 2022 was held at The Theatre at Mediacorp. Before the main event commenced, the public got a glimpse of the celebs’ red carpet looks on social media.
While the stars looked great, that didn’t stop cheeky netizens from noting how some of the clothes reminded them of certain F&B items.
Even the official Channel 8 Facebook page couldn’t help but get in on the fun, reposting a few of the more memorable remarks as memes.

And what do you get when you combine cabbage with chilli pepper, which Chantalle Ng’s sequined red gown apparently reminded some folks of? Kimchi.

While not clothing-related, this comparison between Chua Enlai, Vivian Lai, and Bryan Wong and a meme featuring two wolves judging their overly cheerful friend left netizens in stitches.
Some of the artistes mentioned certainly took the comparisons well, reposting the memes and adding their own amused thoughts.
In today’s modern age, becoming a meme is a surefire way to get the internet’s attention.
While this year’s Star Awards just ended, we’re already looking forward to seeing what other creative comparisons netizens will inevitably come up with again in 2023.
