Amy Schumer didn't appear to be a fan of the "gilded glamour" dress code at the 2022 Met Gala.

The comedian, 40, wore a black coatdress designed by Gabriela Hearst and matching sunglasses for the event on Monday, according to a post on her Instagram story. She didn't appear to follow the dress code, which references the Gilded Age of New York between 1870 and 1890 when the upper classes took a "more-is-more" approach to fashion, Insider previously reported.

Speaking for Vogue's red carpet livestream, La La Anthony asked Schumer what the "Gilded Glamour" dress code means to her. Schumer simply replied "vibrator," according to People.

When Schumer was asked what she was looking forward to inside the event, she joked: "I'm also here for the drinks," People reported.

Schumer has previously criticized the Met Gala. Speaking with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show in 2016, Schumer said attending the Met Gala felt like a "punishment" and that she has "no interest in fashion."

"I left not the second I could, I left earlier than I should have been allowed," she said.

"I guess I should be grateful I was invited or something, but yeah, it felt like a punishment. It's not me and I don't like it … It's so fake … It's people doing an impression of having a conversation," Schumer said.

"I got to meet Beyoncé, and she was like, 'Is this your first Met Gala?' And I was like, 'It's my last,'" Schumer added.

However, Schumer appeared to have a better time at the event the following year. Schumer told E! that she "had fun" at the 2017 Met Gala even though she described it as "an intense environment."
