Katy Perry didn’t attend the Met Gala 2025 in person, but that didn’t stop her from going viral online. Thanks to some incredibly realistic AI-generated images, it looked like the pop star made a virtual appearance at the famous fashion event — and fans couldn’t stop talking about it.
Katy Perry’s AI Met Gala Look Goes Viral
On the night of the 2025 Met Gala, photos started to spread online showing Katy Perry walking the Met Gala blue carpet. In the images, she wore a stunning black latex gown matched with a sharp pinstripe blazer — a bold and stylish combination that quickly caught fans’ attention.
The setting looked perfect too, with Perry posing confidently on the Met steps just like every other celebrity at the event. Many people believed the pictures were real and praised her for her dramatic fashion choice.
Fans Spot AI Clues in Viral Photos
However, some eagle-eyed viewers started to notice strange details. One of the biggest signs that the images were fake came from the way her outfit seemed to blend unnaturally into her waist. Small glitches like this gave away the truth — the pictures weren’t real at all. They were made using artificial intelligence (AI).
Soon after, it was confirmed that the images were AI-generated and not actual photos of Katy Perry at the event. Still, that didn’t stop the internet from going wild.
Why Katy Perry Wasn’t at the Met Gala
Another clue came from the official guest list. Katy Perry’s name wasn’t on it, and reports from The Daily Mail revealed that she was busy with her Lifetimes Tour in North America. In fact, she had a concert scheduled in Houston the very next day, making it almost impossible for her to attend the Gala in New York.
Social Media Reactions: AI-Katy Steals the Spotlight
Even though it turned out to be fake, fans on social media were amazed by the AI-generated version of Katy Perry. Many said the digital look was better than what some real celebrities wore to the event. Some even joked that “AI Katy” looked more fashionable than Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, and Gigi Hadid.
Comments poured in saying things like:
- “This is AI? She still looks better than most people there.”
- “Can we just let AI Katy win the Met Gala?”
- “Even when she’s not there, she’s serving looks!”
This Isn’t AI-Katy’s First Met Gala Appearance
This isn’t the first time AI has brought Katy Perry to the Met Gala. In 2024, a similar situation happened. AI-generated photos showed her wearing a beautiful floral gown that matched the event’s theme, “The Garden of Time.” That year, Perry responded with a funny post on social media, saying, “Couldn’t make it to the MET; had to work.”
Final Thoughts
Katy Perry may not have walked the Met Gala carpet in real life, but her AI double sure made a big impression. The event showed just how powerful and realistic AI images have become — and how fans are more than happy to see their favorite stars “attend” virtually.
Whether real or not, it’s clear that Katy Perry knows how to make headlines — even from miles away.
