Social media users saw Aubrey Plaza’s look for the 75th Emmy Awards and took it as an open invitation to get silly.

The “White Lotus” star walked the red carpet in a yellow dress with a square top and statement pin that drew comparisons to a Post-it note. 

Plaza was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series; her co-star Jennifer Coolidge ended up winning the category.

Users of X, formerly Twitter, saw the blank canvas and got to work.

In one viral tweet, a social media user had printed “I’m sorry, I can’t. Don’t hate me,” on a photo of the dress, referencing the Post-it note that Jack Berger used to break up with Carrie Bradshaw on “Sex and the City.”

Another user was reminded of a Plaza moment from her days as April Ludgate in “Parks and Recreation.”

Reality TV fans dug up the infamous note from “Jersey Shore” and quoted from “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.”
