Billie Eilish denies attending Met Gala, criticizes AI images
Singer Billie Eilish debunked AI-generated images suggesting her presence at the 2025 Met Gala. In an Instagram video, she humorously dismissed criticism of her alleged outfit, explaining she was performing in Amsterdam during the event.
Washington [US], May 16 (ANI): Singer Billie Eilish has spoken out against AI-generated images of her attending the 2025 Met Gala, which sparked criticism online. In a video shared on her Instagram Story, Eilish laughed at the negative reactions, revealing she was not even at the event. "I wasn't there. That's AI," Eilish said, while eating an ice cream cone. "I had a show in Europe that night. Let me be! I wasn't even there!" The singer was performing in Amsterdam as part of her 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' tour, which coincided with the Met Gala on May 5. Earlier, fellow musician Katy Perry also addressed similar fake images of her attending the Met Gala, captioning a post, "Couldn't make it to the MET" and referencing her own tour schedule.
Eilish expressed frustration over people criticising her supposed Met Gala look, and said, "Seeing people talk about what I wore to this year's Met Gala being trash... I wasn't there!," as quoted by E! News. The 2025 Met Gala celebrated the Costume Institute's spring exhibition, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,' which explores the concept of dandyism and its impact on Black style from the 18th century to the present. The event's dress code, 'Tailored for You,' encouraged the attendees to get creative with suiting and tailoring. (ANI)
