Katy Perry Met Gala 2024: Viral AI-Generated Image at the Met replaces Katy fooling All fans And Her Mom
On Met Gala Monday, the fashion world was abuzz with excitement as celebrities graced the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. A-listers donned their most creative and extravagant outfits, and social media lit up with discussions about their looks.
The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”, also aligned with this theme. Celebrities showcased their creativity by interpreting the theme through their outfits.
Now, let’s talk about Katy Perry. Despite not physically attending the Met Gala that year, she became a viral sensation due to AI-generated images that circulated online.
Among the standout moments was an AI-generated image of Katy Perry. In the picture, she appeared to be wearing a stunning gown adorned with flowers, butterflies, and also an attention-grabbing moss trim. The tweet accompanying the photo read, “Katy Perry. That’s it. #MetGala.” The post quickly went viral, garnering millions of views, likes, and retweets.
Ai Katy
However, there was a twist: all the photo was entirely AI-generated. Even the iconic Met Gala stairs in the background were from a previous year’s event. Katy Perry hadn’t actually attended the 2024 Met Gala, but the image fooled many—including her own mom!
Her Mother’s Reaction:
Perry shared these images on Instagram, along with a screenshot of a confused text message from her mother. Her mom, fooled by the realistic-looking images, also commented, “What a gorgeous gown, you look like the Rose Parade, you are your own float lol.”. Perry playfully responded, “lol mom, the AI got you too, BEWARE!”.
Creator
The creator of these images, a Brazilian Katy Perry superfan, combined AI image-generation with manual editing. He used AI to enhance skin texture and realism, then incorporated real images of people (replacing their faces with Katy Perry’s) to achieve the final result. The goal was to seamlessly integrate her face into the scenes.
The creator emphasized that while AI played a role, it wasn’t as advanced as people might think. He used a combination of tools, including Photoshop, to achieve the hyper-realistic quality of the images.
Other Celebrities:
It’s worth noting that similar AI-generated images of Rihanna and Lady Gaga also circulated during the Met Gala, sparking intrigue and confusion among fans
So, while Katy Perry didn’t physically grace the Met Gala red carpet in 2024, her virtual presence certainly left an impression. The power of AI artistry continues to amaze us.
