Celebrities can’t seem to get enough of Arab cuisine, to the extent that sometimes their gowns resemble a few of your favorite meals.

It comes as no surprise that a few stars arrived at The Met Gala 2019 donning dresses that reminded us of iconic Arab dishes.

Though the event’s theme for this year was “Camp: Notes on Fashion” which is basedon Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay “Notes on Camp,” many stars skipped right over that.

Instead, they walked the pink carpet in kunafa and molokhiya-like creations that’ll leave you gobsmacked:

1. All hail the kunafa dress

2. The wara2 3enab dress-piration
