T he best accessory from the 2024 Met Gala red carpet was all that and a bag of chips—literally. On the first Monday in May, actor Michael Shannon paired his classic tuxedo with a cheeky handbag ...

The bag, ornamented with Lay’s iconic yellow and red, is reportedly set to retail for $1,800, according to HypeBeast. That’s a steep difference from the potato chips’ usual $4 price tag.

So with apprehension after seeing the fiery packaging, I opened the bag and dug in. The chips have an orange, peppery hue to them, reminiscent of the hot sauce. I tried one first and was surprised.

The potato chips add both whimsy and crunch. The caviar gives a salty, juicy pop and a dash of color, especially if you use orange salmon roe, red tobiko or golden trout roe.
