Whether you love or hate celebrity culture, the Met Gala is an event. These less jaded among us can see all the biggest stars taking their most daring fashion risks of the year; Unlike an award ceremony, it is an event that encourages avant-garde extravagance. And if you find the very lively, then you can laugh at the way Ed Sheeran’s outfit looks like Something Troy Bolton wore in Musical 3 Lycée 3.
But this year, the Met Gala was a test.
“Katy Perry. That’s it,” read an X post. In the photo, Katy Perry carries a massive dress decorated with three -dimensional floral applications. While the pearly dress drains on the ground, its long train fades in mousse in a realistic air, which goes bankrupt on the beige and red gala carpet.
If you look at the image longer than a glance that passes, you might believe that the singer “Teenage Dream” arrived at the biggest night of fashion bearing this whimsical and wooden dress. But in all the other photos of the Met Gala, the carpet was white and green in the theme of the “Garden of Time”; In this photo, it’s beige and red. Why does Katy seem to walk on a different carpet?
This is the revealing sign that this viral image of Perry is false. And yet, it already has more than 10 million views on X and more than 300,000 likes.
A few minutes later, another user on X published another image of Perry. Her lips are slightly separated as if she were surprised by the paparazzi, and she wears a bronze corset that looks like a key in a garden. Unlike the first image, it actually has the right palette of colors and the landscapes for this year’s gala, but something still feels. His floral skirt seems to be cut off and stick on his body, and the light strikes his corset in a way -in -nature way.
So how do you know that it is false, as opposed to a strange photo? No fashion magazine has reported the look of Katy Perry tonight – it does not seem to be participating this year. Meanwhile, Perry believed the two viral tweets to cryptically but did not comment on the misleading positions.

Each year at Met Gala, Rihanna is among the best dressed. In the days preceding the event, she promised fans that she would arrive at the event in time for dinner – generally, she was very late. Herself was trying her pink hair for the occasion.
At the previous end of the red carpet, an image has surfaced Rihanna wearing a dramatically royal themed dress. The shoulder ball in a sculptural halo, embroidered with birds, vines and flowers. But again, despite 2.6 million views, the image is not real. Rihanna has her pink hair, do you remember? Like Perry, Rihanna is nowhere in sight. People magazine reported that Rihanna had to skip the festivities on Monday evening after succeeding in the flu.
The consequences of a false Rihanna dress are quite minor. But based on the story of Rihanna Tie the theme put galaWould she really take the easy solution and bring a floral dress to the celebration of the “Time Garden”? Like a Ai Deepfake Drake SongThese synthetic looks were a little too much on the nose, lacking in creativity that makes the Met Gala unique. Could an AI offer a Cynthia Erivo brilliant costume or Lana del Rey Wooded look with frightening cooling?
Zendaya, a first row for the better dressed, presented itself in a blue-green outfit which makes it look like a villain of super-chic fairy tales. A few hours later, when an image arose from Zendaya wearing a black leather dress and a floral helmet on the carpet, I was prepared to believe that it was still another false photo. But the truth is foreign: after five years absent from the gala, Zendaya actually traveled the carpet twice Two different outfits. Go represent.
However, each new image of a celebrity served as a call to check the patterns on the carpet, the flowers along the stair balustrades, and if the paparazzi in the background look a bit funky. Usually the Met Gala is the occasion for Gab about the bizarre outfits of famous people as a brief distraction of our little glamorous Mondays. But in the era of generative generative tools, the culture of celebrities constantly reminds us that we cannot believe everything we see online.
