Katy Perry's AI Met Gala Appearance Goes Viral

Katy Perry went viral after AI-generated images depicting her at the 2025 Met Gala circulated widely online, fooling many fans into believing she attended, despite her absence from the event. This marks the second consecutive year that such fake images of Perry at the Met Gala have gone viral, with observers noting the hyper-realistic quality of the photos and the lack of credible evidence of her attendance. Meanwhile, the actual Met Gala, themed 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' celebrated Black dandyism and the influence of Black masculinity on global fashion, with high-profile co-chairs and a focus on authentic, behind-the-scenes storytelling. Notably, WNBA star Angel Reese made headlines as a member of the Host Committee, turning heads in a Thom Browne ensemble and earning widespread acclaim for her style and achievements. The event continues to be recognized as the world’s most prestigious fashion gathering, famously blending red carpet spectacle with real-time social media engagement. Perry’s AI-generated Met Gala looks highlight how technology is increasingly blurring the lines between reality and digital fantasy in celebrity culture.
