You can’t go camping without food “Camp: Notes on Fashion” was the theme of last night’s annual Met Gala, and the stars were out showcasing all manner of wacky, colorful, and outlandish outfits for us normies to dissect and analyze this following morning. Katy Perry, never one to be outdone in the bonkers attire category, showed up first as a whole chandelier, and later as a hamburger, making the entire theme of her night “dining room.” Here’s she is trying to climb into her burger costume while J.Lo looks on, slightly confused.

Perry took the gala’s camp theme to the next level by changing into a burger costume late Monday night, complete with all the trimmings — bun, beef patty, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and cheese, plus a toothpick hat — from which the singer’s hands only partly protruded. Witnesses said Perry was so encased in the burger ensemble that others were forced to help feed her because she couldn’t reach her mouth. But despite being encased in a Jeremy Scott-designed barrel of rubber, Perry didn’t hold back on the dance floor at the late-night after-party at Hunter College’s basketball court. She was seen dancing with pals including model Karlie Kloss, enthusiastically shimmying her oversize slider and bumping the burger up and down to beats from DJ Mark Ronson. That is, she did until around 1 a.m., when Perry fell flat on her buns on the dance floor, and lay there motionless, unable to get back up, while her little legs were seen wiggling out of the bottom of the whopper of a costume. Two partygoers came to the aid of the stricken star, hauling her back to her feet, before Perry wobbled away. An eyewitness said, “It was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Katy . . . just toppled over. Once she was on the floor, she couldn’t get up . . . She rolled around a little, but she was stuck because she had no arms. People rushed over and literally picked her up.” Meanwhile, other sartorial snobs sniffed about how Perry came dressed as comfort food, but ended up on the floor with the leftovers. Also at the bash, Shawn Mendes got sideways looks from A-listers as the only star with security. “His bodyguard kept asking people to give him his space,” huffed a spy. “He was hardly being bombarded.” Ignoring him on the dance floor were Lupita Nyong’o, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tiffany Haddish, Sienna Miller, Carey Mulligan, Emma Stone, Naomi Campbell, Michael Kors and Donatella Versace.<doc-sep>
Katy Perry didn't hold back at this year's Met Gala. The singer took advantage of this year's theme "Camp: Notes on Fashion," to wear some appropriately out-there ensembles, including dressing up as a hamburger. Perry's hamburger look, by Moschino, was complete with a toothpick headpiece, bejeweled burger shoes and a lettuce-esque dress she wore underneath. Unsurprisingly, the look garnered some attention at the Met Gala Boom Boom Afterparty Monday, including a run-in with Celine Dion, who was in a sleeker, sparkling number. Earlier in the night, Perry walked the gala's pink carpet dressed up as a chandelier.

"We've got to go, Katy," someone tells the singer in the video before she's seen struggling to put the costume back on. Burgers have played a significant role in Perry's life. During an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in February following her engagement to Orlando Bloom, Perry said a certain chain played a role in their romance. "We bonded over an In-N-Out Burger about three years (ago) at the Golden Globes," Perry remembered. "He stole one off of my table – I was sitting with Denzel Washington, and he took it, and I was like, 'Wait – who? Oh, you're so hot. Fine, take it.'" Perry said Bloom was impressed when she followed-up about his hamburglary. "I saw him at a party and I was like, 'How are those onions resting on your molars?'" she said. "He's like, 'I like you.' And then, you know, cut to (raises ring finger to highlight engagement bling.)"
