Last year, the singer revealed that her own mom was among the thousands fooled by a fake picture of her wearing a stunning gown embellished with flowers, butterflies, and an attention-grabbing moss trim at the Met.

This year, the trolls went one step further when they claimed that Katy not only attended the Met, but was wearing a brand new type of fabric for her look. 

Sharing the AI-generated images, a self-proclaimed “parody account” on X wrote: “Katy Perry’s dress at the #MetGala2025 features never-before-seen, custom-made fabric by Mugler. ‘Lustratex®, a cutting-edge fusion of liquid vinyl and adaptive smart polymers, was innovated in secret textile labs across Paris & Seoul’, VOGUE reports.”

The tweet was seen over 400k times before Katy shut it down by writing on her Instagram page: “couldn’t make it to the MET, I’m on The Lifetimes Tour (see you in Houston tomorrow IRL‼️)”

Thankfully, Katy confirmed that her mom was not fooled the second time around, adding: “P.s. this year I was actually with my mom so she’s safe from the bots but I’m praying for the rest of y’all.”
