On May 1st, as the Costume Institute unveiled their latest exhibit, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” fans eagerly awaited the annual Met Gala event. However, many fans were left disappointed after coming across edited images of their favorite celebrities on the red carpet. These false images were shared widely, causing fans to fall for the deceit.
Despite the presence of numerous highly anticipated celebrities, such as Rihanna and Kim Kardashian, many stars failed to make an appearance at the event. Notable absences included Selena Gomez, Zendaya, and Blake Lively. Fans who were eagerly awaiting their arrival were left feeling disappointed.
Although the event was a huge success and showcased the latest fashion trends, the disappointment of fans who fell for the edited images highlighted the negative impact of misinformation and the importance of fact-checking before sharing information online.
Several fans were fooled into thinking that Selena Gomez and Zendaya attended the Met Gala due to manipulated images circulating on social media. One photo, which received over 17 million views on Twitter, showed a doctored image of Gomez in a sheer one-shoulder dress with blue pearls on the red carpet.

However, the photo was actually edited with Gomez’s face onto a picture of Lily James wearing a Versace gown. Fans had mixed reactions to the false claims, with some expressing concern over the deceptive nature of the images, while others admitted to believing the tweet.
In 2018, Gomez attended the Met Gala, but she wasn’t the only celebrity who appeared to have been edited onto the red carpet. Fans also alleged that Zendaya made an unexpected appearance on the steps of the Met Museum.
