Katy Perry’s AI Met Gala Dress Had Everyone Fooled—See The Convincing Photos
She always makes one hell of an entrance, but when she didn’t walk the famed steps of New York’s most famous gallery, Katy Perry’s AI Met Gala dress had everyone fooled, even her mom. The last time Perry attended the illustrious evening was in 2022 and she has attended many times since her debut in 2010.
On May 6, 2024, while celebrities were taking on the Met Steps for the Garden of Time ball, Perry shared that she “Couldn’t make it to the Met, had to work,” to her 200+ million followers. Two of the images in the carousel were AI-generated looks of her wearing a floral gown in line with the theme, while a third image in the series showed a text message from her mom, Mary Perry, who wrote, “What a gorgeous gown, you look like the Rose Parade, you are your own float.” Her daughter replied, “lol mom the AI got you, too, BEWARE.”
Perry has been busy working on a new album, which so far is going by the name KP6. “I just have yet to make a record from a place of feeling really happy and whole and full of love,” she told Access Hollywood after a taping of American Idol on April 15, 2024. “Sometimes artists are like, ‘Oh, that’s boring, you want to make music from kind of like a tougher place,’ but actually it’s very bright and joyful, like pure joy and fun and playful and celebratory and a party.”
The Met Gala—also known as the Met Ball, the Costume Institute Gala and the Costume Institute Benefit—is an annual fundraising event held each year on the first Monday in May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. The event benefits the museum’s Costume Institute, also known as the Anna Wintour Costume Center named after Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who has co-chaired the Met Gala since 1995.
The Met Gala started in 1948 by fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert as a fundraiser for the Costume Institute. In 1973, the Met Gala introduced its first theme, “The World of Balenciaga.” Since then, the event has dozens of themes that attendees, including actors, singers, models and social media stars, have had to follow as part of the Met Gala’s dress code.
