In a wince-inducing video, a photographer was seen struggling to move out of the way as the cockroach scuttled toward him.
One person was heard shouting, “Get a photo! Get a photo!” in the background as others cheered.
The roach made its way along the white carpet as the photographer stopped and snapped some shots of it.
Videos of the bug quickly went viral, with many declaring that it was the “star” of the Met Gala.
Variety magazine later tweeted to announce that the cockroach had been killed.
“It is with deep sadness that we must report the Met Gala cockroach was stepped on. RIP,” they posted.
One fan wrote, “Not the cockroach being the star of the Met Gala,” with crying face emojis.
Another posted, “She was the icon that never was…” while a third declared that its death was an “absolute tragedy.”
Yet another user commented: “Think this is the most devastating news I’ve ever heard (I woke up half an hour ago).”
RIRI’S LOOK
The cockroach invaded the white carpet just before Rihanna arrived with boyfriend A$AP Rocky.
The pregnant, 35, donned a white Valentino gown that included a covering of fake white flowers over her entire upper body and a large train.

To make her look even more dramatic, she wore thick white sunglasses with huge diva eyelashes attached to the front.
The theme of this year’s Met Gala was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty – a tribute to the late German fashion designer’s work.
While many decided to wear his pieces or pay homage to his style, Doja Cat and Jared Leto decided to dress up as his cat, Choupette.
KARDASHIAN TAKEOVER
Kylie Jenner wowed in a red one-shoulder gown at the event.
The Kardashians star was able to meet up with sisters Kendall and Kim Kardashian on the carpet.
The trip stopped to chat with Vogue as they made their way inside.
Kim, 42, was spotted rocking a gown made almost entirely of strands of pearls.
Kendall, meanwhile, faced backlash over her “tacky” Met Gala look.
The 27-year-old rocked a black bodysuit with a sparkly white collar in tribute to Karl Lagerfeld.
She was not accompanied by her rumored boyfriend Bad Bunny – born Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio – who is attending the event.
Several Kardashian members didn’t make the cut this year.
Kourtney, Khloe, and Kris Jenner all failed to attend the prestigious fashion event.
