Katy Perry pulled off some unreal looks at last Met Galas but nothing compares to this year: The photos that have surfaced of Perry on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art aren’t actually real.
The superstar singer went viral Monday night during Met Gala coverage after photos went viral online that seemingly showed Perry in a puffy pink dress. The dress code, “The Garden of Time,” is inspired by the 1962 short story of the same name by J. G. Ballard and blends seamlessly with the Metropolitan Institute of Costume Arts’ exhibition, Sleeping Beauty: Fashion Remade.
However, within a few hours, Perry took to Instagram to confirm that she was not present and blame AI for the disaster.
“I couldn’t make it to the Met, I had to work,” Perry shared to her 207 million Instagram followers alongside a set of photos that included two fake photos on the Met Gala red carpet. A third photo in the series showed a text message from the singer’s mother, Mary Berry, in which she wrote: “What a wonderful dress, you look like Rose Parade, you are your own float.” Her famous daughter replied: “Mom, the artificial intelligence has got hold of you too, be careful.”
