Katy Perry's glamorous 'AI appearance' at Met Gala 2025 sends fans into frenzy amid Blue Origin scandal

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Katy Perry is back in the spotlight, this time for an AI-only appearance that’s turning heads after her controversial Blue Origin space trip. 

Despite not physically attending the star-studded Met Gala on Monday, the 'Teenage Dream' singer quickly stole the show, with AI-generated images of her at the event circulating widely on X.

In fact, Perry was even crowned ‘best dressed’ in these virtual snapshots, leaving fans and critics alike buzzing over her digital fashion moment.

Katy Perry’s 'AI appearance' at the 2025 Met Gala goes viral online

Katy Perry, whose photos being shared online, showed a very realistic image of the singer wearing a tight black latex dress with a pinstripe blazer-style top. 

The AI-generated image made it look like she was posing on the famous Met Gala steps.

Many people on social media thought the image was real and believed Katy Perry had actually attended. They were amazed by the outfit and called it the best look of the night, even saying it outshone stars like Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, and Gigi Hadid.

Some fans even started calling her the "Queen of the Met Gala" because of how striking the fake photos were.

While the images fooled a lot of people, her biggest fans quickly realized they were made by AI. They also pointed out that her name wasn’t on the leaked guest list. Many believe she skipped the event because she is getting ready to start the North American leg of her 'Lifetimes Tour' this week.

Katy Perry experienced a similar situation during Met Gala 2024

Katy Perry often goes viral, even when she doesn’t attend events. Last year, she skipped the 2024 Met Gala, but AI-generated images of her still made headlines, as per DailyMail. The fake photos were so realistic that they tricked both her fans and her family.

The fabricated photos depicted Perry in a dramatic floral gown, and they quickly spread across platforms like X, Instagram, and Reddit, leading many to believe she had attended the star-studded affair.

Rather than dispel the buzz immediately, Perry leaned into the moment with humor. She shared two of the viral AI images on Instagram, along with a text from her mother, Mary, who had been duped by the lifelike renderings. “Couldn’t make it to the MET, had to work,” Perry joked in the caption to her 207 million followers.

Mary’s message read, “Ha Feather! Didn't know you went to the Met. What a gorgeous gown. You look like the Rose Parade, you are your own float lol,” complete with one of the AI photos. Perry’s lighthearted reply? “lol mom the AI got you too, BEWARE!”

Perry hasn’t graced the Met Gala red carpet since 2022, though she’s been a mainstay in previous years, attending nine times since her debut in 2009.
