Tiffany Haddish took the Met Gala red carpet on Monday evening in a statement-making pantsuit by Michael Kors. However, as incredible as the look was, it wasn't the glittery zebra print that made headlines. The "Girls Trip" actress revealed to E! News that while she was excited to be at the annual celebrity-studded fundraiser, she was nervous about the lack of food at the event, and thus, had smuggled chicken into her purse. The actress then turned to the camera to reveal that she, in fact, had packed fried chicken in a plastic bag -- a mood we can all definitely resonate with.

We feel you, Tiffany.<doc-sep>NEW YORK -- Actress and comedian Tiffany Haddish was worried about getting hungry at the Met Gala, so she brought her own food.Haddish wore a black-and-silver tiger stripe "Pimperella" Michael Kors pantsuit with wide bells at the ankles, a glitzy hat on her head. She said she vowed not to go snackless this year so she made chicken to bring on the red carpet.Haddish later gave out the chicken to reporters including GMA's Lara Spencer.<doc-sep>This year's Met Gala theme is "Camp," so it's only appropriate that the Ball's red carpet moments, and fashions, are as outrageous as possible. Katy Perry dressed up as a chandelier and Lady Gaga was, well, doing all the Lady Gaga things, but we can bet you that no one there had chicken in their purse. That is, except for comedian Tiffany Haddish who channeled her inner "A Pimp Named Slickback" for her sequined, silver and black Michael Kors bell-bottom pantsuit, accessorized with a matching, glittery fedora complete with a feather. “Last year I came...it was not enough food,” Haddish told PEOPLE. “I was hungry, and when I’m hungry my attitude is not good. So I said, ‘I’m gonna be prepared this year,'” she continued. “So I brought chicken...No I didn’t go to KFC. We don’t worry about it. See, Tiffany knows how to cook. I don’t know if you know this but I have my own seasoning salt.” Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images The actress also admitted that when she learned that the Met Gala theme was "Camp," she thought it was referring to outdoor camping. “When I first heard the theme, I thought it meant you wear like a wife beater and some walking shorts,” Haddish said. “But now I know that it means you are glamorous and over the top and ready to have a good time. I kind of feel like Patti LeBelle, but on some pimp stuff.” “I’m feeling cute,” she said of her designer garb. “I’m feeling like a throwback pimperella. Holler at your girl.”<doc-sep>Well, this was epic. Tiffany Haddish shared her fried chicken with the hungry men of ‘Ain’t Too Proud’ at the Met Gala and it was all captured on HL’s Instagram! Beyoncé has hot sauce in her bag for that chicken, Tiffany! The funny lady whipped out the fried chicken she carried in her clutch at the Met Gala for the gentlemen of Broadway’s Ain’t Too Proud, and actor Jawan M. Jackson got it all on camera! During his Instagram takeover for HollywoodLife, Jawan, who plays Melvin Franklin in the Tony-nominated show, captured the aftermath of his castmate Jeremy Pope chowing down on a fried drumstick from Tiffany. “Ya’ll, Tiffany Haddish gave us a chicken wing,” Jawan said to the camera as Jeremy munched on the food. “Thank you! ‘Cause we hungry!” Jeremy popped in, “Thank you Tiffany, because I’m about to die!” Then, Jawan went to find the Girls Trip star for the HollywoodLife fans, but instead found himself walking into the Met, where, luckily, they were fed dinner! Jawan and the fellow Temps in Ain’t Too Proud were dressed to the nines by Thom Browne for the big night. In the HL IG story, the actor also showed off his friend Billy Porter‘s incredible, Cleopatra-inspired look that was presented in a stunning entrance, during which the Pose star sat upon a throne carried by shirtless men. “We are here! We are taking over at the Met Gala, darling!” Billy said to the camera before opening up the wings of his jumpsuit by The Blonds. As Jawan went through the night, he shared video of his friend Jamal Story dancing on stage with Cher as she performed for the crowd, and the lit atmosphere of the Gucci after-party.
