Met Gala 2026: Katy Perry unmasked as mystery red carpet guest

Katy Perry has channelled her inner astronaut at the 2026 Met Gala.

The 'ET' singer walked the steps at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Costume Art themed gala on Sunday night.

In keeping with fashion's night of night's Fashion Is Art dress code, Perry opted for a white, strapless Stella McCartney gown featuring a long train and white, elbow-length gloves.

But it was almost impossible to figure out who she was, under a white and silver mask reminiscent of an astronaut's helmet.

The star-studded event, which was co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour, also served as a reunion for Perry, Gayle King and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, who all took part in the Blue Origin space launch last year.

Perry is known for her risky fashion choices at Met Galas passim. She donned angel wings for 2018's Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, and gave fans a double feature for 2019's Camp: Notes on Fashion, wearing a full chandelier dress on the Met steps before changing into a cheeseburger costume once inside.

The Grammy nominee and former Met Gala co-chair is currently in a romantic relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He did not attend the Gala, leaving Perry to strut her stuff solo on the red carpet.
