Selena Gomez has not attended the Met Gala since 2018 until now, 2023, but fake images of her at this event are still being covered and viral online.

A fake photo of Selena Gomez at the 2023 Met Gala is spreading widely across forums and has become the most liked photo on Twitter.

In the photo, the 30-year-old singer attracts attention when wearing an off-the-shoulder dress with many blue pearls. However, the problem is that the Love You Like a Love Song singer will not attend this year’s event.

As of the morning of May 2, the “blue bird” social media post has attracted 13.8 million views, 25,800 retweets and 300,100 likes. The number continues to increase to the present time.

Many people realized that the photo was edited with Photoshop when Gomez’s face was combined with Lily James’ Met Gala 2022 outfit, designed by Versace.

However, the outfit worn by the “Disney princess” was changed to a different shade of blue.

In addition to the fact that the American singer and actress did not attend the “Oscars of the fashion world”, some inconsistencies in the photo were immediately detected by fans.

Most notably, the red carpet next to Gomez’s photo has a poorly blended color, showing clear intervention by photoshop.

Selena Gomez has not attended the Met Gala since 2018. However, the reason why she is still absent this year has not been confirmed, according to the New York Post.

Gomez has just finished filming part 3 of the movie “Only Murders in the Building”. Recently, she and former One Direction member Zayn Malik were caught having dinner together at a famous restaurant in Manhattan (New York, USA) on March 24. This sparked rumors that the two are dating.

According to Page Six, Gomez and Malik do not seem to care about keeping their relationship private. A staff member saw the couple hugging amid the bustling atmosphere.

The 2023 Met Gala took place under the theme “Karl Lagerfeld: A line of Beauty”. The annual fundraising event for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) always attracts the participation of top stars.
