Katy Perry's own mum fell for AI generated pictures of her at the Met Gala despite not attending

Katy Perry's own mum fell for AI generated pictures of her at the Met Gala despite not attending

It seems that 'Kaity Perry' was in attendance at last night's Met Gala

Katy Perry low key pranked everyone - including her own mother - during last night's (6 May) Met Gala after uploading photos of herself rocking up in the most 'extravagant outfit'.

Unless you've literally been living under a rock these last 24 hours, you'll be aware that the 2024 Met Gala finally took place last night.

The event's 'Garden of Time' theme saw many of our favourite celebs - including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and the Kardashians - put on quite the show with their designer outfits... though Kim Kardashian's waist-cinching number didn't go down all too well with fans.

Anyway, despite the evening being the biggest event in the fashion and celebrity calendar, a few famous faces were unfortunately absent, including the likes of Rhianna, Beyoncé... and, of course, Katy Perry.

But the 'Fireworks' singer decided to pull somewhat of a prank on her fans (and her mum) by using AI to put herself on the Met red carpet wearing a very on-theme gown.

The eyebrow raising attire shown in one of the images consisted of a low cut floor length gown, designed with flowers and foliage growing up from the hem into the dress.

The second photo was as close up shot of her in a different Met Gala look of a metal corset with a short skirt made of grass and flowers, matched with wet-look hair.

Taking to Instagram, the 39-year-old wrote in the caption: "Couldn’t make it to the MET, had to work."

Her oblivious fans were loving the pics, as one person commented: "She’s working late… CUZ SHE’S A SINGER."

"Katy are making more DAISIES she win the theme of the met gala," a second wrote.

Although, other eagle-eyed viewers instantly spotted AI's influence on the two photos, as another person added: "Hilarious that anyone would ever think that image is real!

"Look at the mess of hands and heads behind her on the right side of the image."

A fourth also joked: "If she would've worn that first dress she would've been the most beautiful of the night."

Now, the third image that Perry shared on the night showed a text message exchange with her mum, who certainly fell for the prank.

"Didn’t know you went to the Met. What a gorgeous gown, you look like the rose parade, you are your own float lol," her mum's message hilariously read.

To which the American Idol judge responded: "Lol mom the AI got you too, BEWARE!"

Last month, the TV personality suffered an awkward wardrobe malfunction, which unfortunately was not AI-generated.

The pop star, 39, was sat besides her fellow judges Luke Bryan, 47, and Lionel Richie, 74, as they watched contestant Roman Collins, 24, take to the stage with 'It's a Man's Man's Man's World'.

The performer, from Long Beach, California, was the final contestant of the two-hour live episode, competing for one of the judges' four spots in the competition.

After belting out the James Brown banger, the crowd erupted - along with Perry's silver top.

When she got up to cheer, her top suddenly broke, as the singer gasped: "That song broke my top off."

"I guess it is a woman's world," she quipped, as Bryan joked: "Ratings. Ratings. Ratings. Here we come, ratings."
