Did you believe the buzz surrounding Rihanna's Met Gala appearance this year? Prepare to be surprised: Rihanna, along with Katy Perry, did not grace the red carpet at the 2024 Met Gala, despite a wave of AI-generated images suggesting otherwise. The annual celebration of fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art became yet another battleground in the fight against the rising tide of deepfakes.
The Met Gala, held on the evening of May 6, 2024, in New York City, unfolded without the presence of two of its most anticipated attendees. While fashion enthusiasts eagerly awaited glimpses of their favorite celebrities showcasing avant-garde looks inspired by the Costume Institutes spring exhibition, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," a different kind of spectacle played out online. Deepfake images, purporting to show Rihanna and Katy Perry in elaborate outfits, rapidly circulated across social media platforms, fooling many into believing they were authentic snapshots from the event. The Associated Press confirmed that neither star was actually in attendance. Rihanna, it was revealed, was unfortunately sidelined by the flu, preventing her from making an appearance.
