Katy Perry’s Absence at Met Gala 2024 Explained
Pop star Katy Perry was noticeably missing from the Met Gala 2024, but that didn’t stop images of her in a stunning outfit from circulating on social media. The pictures, however, were not real, as Katy herself clarified that they were created using Artificial Intelligence.
It turns out that Katy’s own mother was fooled by the AI-generated photos, believing that her daughter had attended the prestigious fashion event. The photos were created by a social media user and AI enthusiast to fit the theme of the Met Gala 2024, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”
Katy shared the photos on her Instagram account along with a text message from her mother, explaining that she was not actually at the Met Gala. The singer cited work commitments as the reason for her absence, although she has been a regular attendee at the Met Gala, having graced the event at least nine times since her first appearance in 2009.
Known for embracing the themes of the Met Gala and having fun with her outfits, Katy made headlines in 2019 when she became a human chandelier at the event’s “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme. Collaborating with Jeremy Scott, the then-creative director of Moschino, Katy certainly knows how to make a statement on the Met Gala red carpet.
