Amy Schumer crashes the Met Gala before giving birth

Amy Schumer welcomed her first child Sunday night, but not before crashing the 2019 Met Gala.

Ahead of the biggest fashion event of the year, the comedian shared an Instagram post of herself dressed in leggings, a grey T-shirt and a beige cardigan standing on the steps of the Met surrounded by photographers.

“Met look this year,” Schumer captioned the photos, which have seen been liked more than 131,000 times. “Last night on the way to the hospital.”

“Iconic,” one person wrote.

Another commented: “The best Met Gala outfit ever.”

The 37-year-old followed up the post with a photo of her and her husband Chris Fischer holding their newborn baby, where she wrote: “10:55pm last night. Our royal baby was born” - a reference to the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s first child Monday.

The birth of Schumer’s first child comes days after she joked about the length of her pregnancy, captioning an Instagram photo on Friday: “Oh yeah does it feel to everyone like I’ve been pregnant for a long time?

“It must be getting annoying to you all that I’m still pregnant. Well imagine how I feel motherf***ers.”

The Met Gala is underway in New York City, where celebrities, A-listers, and designers are embracing this year’s theme Camp: Notes on Fashion.

Schumer, who attended the event in 2016, previously compared it to “punishment” during an interview with Howard Stern.
