The 2024 Met Gala is a celebrity hotbed, although not all celebrities are there, although some creative AI pranksters are trying to trick people into thinking they are.
AI-faked photos of Katy Perry and Rihanna have surfaced on social media, despite any real proof that they hit the red carpet.
Perry, 39, took the AI fakes in stride and posted two fake images of “her” on Instagram, along with a text message from her mother, who was one of many who were duped.
“I couldn’t go to the MET, I had to work,” Perry said in the caption of the post, sent to her 207 million followers.
His mother Mary’s text read: ‘Ha Feather! I didn’t know you went to the Met. What a beautiful dress. You look like the Rose Parade, you’re your own float hahaha.’

Mary’s text message also included one of the fake photos, but Perry replied to the message: ‘Haha mom the AI got you too, WATCH OUT!’
Perry also shared a tweet from a fan named @bredfaria, who was in New York City awaiting her arrival, featuring a blue butterfly cutout with Katy 143 in black.
“I’m waiting for you mom @katyperry 143,” he said in the tweet, with Perry’s final slide indicating that he’s working on new music.
The slide was a short video, showing her singing into a microphone, although the video was muted, which didn’t give fans what her new music might sound like, at least not yet.
One of the images showed Perry wearing a flowy floral dress that spread out around her with flowers adorning the dress.
Another showed her in a gold breastplate and a grassy floral skirt, sporting a wet look seemingly similar to Kim Kardashian’s in 2019.
Perry wasn’t the only celebrity spoofed, as images emerged showing Rihanna on the red carpet, even though she wasn’t there.
The 36-year-old Barbados native was planning to come, although a report from People He claimed he canceled after contracting the flu.

Perry wasn’t the only celebrity spoofed, as images emerged showing Rihanna on the red carpet, even though she wasn’t there.
Last week she had announced that her look at the 2024 Met Gala was going to be much less complex, in an interview with Extra.
‘In fact, this year I’m going to keep it very simple. … Everything will depend on my makeup and my hair,” Rihanna said.
She added that the look was “very simple… compared to everything I’ve done,” adding, “I’m going to show up for dinner.”
However, it is unclear if he will show it in any way after he recovers from the flu.
The image of Rihanna that surfaced showed the singer wearing a white dress with green vines and flowers all over it, with a huge circular pillow behind her head.
Rihanna has yet to publicly address the fake image on social media at this time.
