Katy Perry has shown up at past Met Galas dressed as (1) a chandelier and (2) a giant hamburger, so yes: Our expectations for the 2024 Met Gala were high. And while she didn’t mean to, she came through with an AI-generated interpretation of this year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”
A fake image of Katy wearing a floor-length floral embellished gown on the Met steps went viral on Twitter, earning more than 11 million views. How! Ever! The red carpet in the image is actually from the 2018 Met Gala:

Aaand Katy addressed the rumors on Instagram, writing, “Couldn’t make it to the MET, had to work.” She posted the AI-generated pics alongside a screenshot of texts from her mom, who believed that she was at Fashion’s Biggest Night™️. “Lol, mom the AI got you too, BEWARE!” she wrote back. Katy also seemed to tease that new music was on the way with a clip of her in the studio. 👀
Met Gala 101
Katy was asked about the Met Gala a couple of days ago by Access Hollywood, and said, “My only regret in my cheeseburger outfit is I didn’t roll down the stairs in it. Because I would have like...to have that on tape forever, just me rolling down those massive stairs in my cheeseburger outfit. Probably would have never been invited back, but I would have rolled the dice for that roll.”
She’s gushed about the look to Vogue, saying, “The cheeseburger was my secondary outfit. I was a chandelier to arrive. That had tricks to it and it lit up, and it was created by the lovely Jeremy Scott. He also created this cheeseburger. Wearing my own cheeseburger shoes from my Katy Perry Collections, which I had bedazzled a little. And I’ve always had this approach to fashion, which is it’s one of two things. It’s either OTT fun, wacky, humorous, or it’s like super glam, fashion, satire-esque.”
