Katy Perry steps out as a chandelier at Met Gala

Published May 06, 2019

Katy Perry is lighting up the Met Gala red carpet.

The "American Idol" judge, 34, turned heads when she arrived as a candled chandelier — complete with lit bulbs — at the annual event in New York City. For the rest of her look, the superstar opted for a blonde wig and jewel-encrusted shoes

"Who has ever been to a ball that did not have a chandelier?!,” Moschino designer Jeremy Scott, who created Perry's over-the-top outfit, told Vogue.
