If you thought Katy Perry's chandelier outfit on the 2019 Met Gala red carpet was extravagant, just wait until you see what she wore inside the actual event. The singer decided to do some belated promo for her 2017 single "Bon Appétit" by wearing a full-on cheeseburger costume during the night's dinner and dancing festivities. She first teased the outfit on Twitter, posting a pair of shimmery burger shoes and writing, "First we set the table, and then we dine." No one really knew what this meant because Perry showed up to the Met Gala looking like the candle from Beauty and the Beast—no food or burgers in sight. But then the outfit change happened. Perry slipped into her burger costume—which she accessorized with those aforementioned burger shoes—and wore essentially a lettuce wrap dress underneath. Talk about commitment. Getty Images Unfortunately, photos of the outfit are sparse, but so many celebrities posted contraband Instagram Stories that featured Perry in all her McDonald's glory. My personal favorite? The one where Perry's putting on the costume and Jennifer Lopez casually walks by looking iconic and unbothered. Of course, people jokingly tried to take "bites" out of Perry all night. Rita Ora captured an upclose shot of the look, which I'm now dubbing fast-food glam. Hailee Steinfeld, meanwhile, posted a video of Perry dancing and captioned it "big mood." Agreed. Katy Perry has historically worn some pretty outrageous outfits to the Met Gala. Who can forget last year, when she showed up in the largest pair of angel wings known to man? Getty Images Or the year before, when she wore this red gown that low-key promoted her then upcoming album, Witness. Getty Images My personal favorite, though, is when Moschino dressed both Madonna and Perry for the 2015 Met Gala. I'm still waiting on their collaboration, TBH. Getty Images Congrats on another successful year, KP!<doc-sep>Not content to just light up everyone’s lives in her cake-like Moschino chandelier look that nailed Monday night’s 2019 Met Gala theme, Katy Perry changed into a second outfit: a hamburger. And as she squeezed into the seeded bun, wearing a slightly more practical lettuce-like off-the shoulder mini dress in the bathroom, a video captured Jennifer Lopez sauntering past. Yes, JLo in a blingy wig and feather boa brushed by Perry while she was changing in what appears to be the Met Gala bathroom. You just can’t make this stuff up, and it could only happen at the 2019 Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Benefit in New York. As insiders know, the highlight of the party isn’t the celebrity-saturated red carpet show itself — it’s the interactions inside the event that deserve to be celebrated, and this magical video is one of them. The moment, a collision of two of the Internet’s favorites, is already picking up steam online, where people are already obsessed. https://t.co/VTvKxmFYfn See the look complete with a purple wrapped cellophane toothpick.

The theme for 2019 was "Camp: Notes on Fashion", and what felt like every celebrity on the planet rolled up to walk the famous steps.<doc-sep>The dust has settled from the 2019 Met Gala, which tempted fate with the theme Camp: Notes on Fashion. While some celebrities and fashion icons came away with raves, others clearly have not seen the seminal Anna Kendrick/Robin De Jesus film Camp and it shows. No one dressed as an inexplicably pre-teen Joanne from Company; no one dressed as young Mercutio having a meltdown; no one performed Beckett through headgear. I mean... what are we doing here? This content is imported from Giphy. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. Fortunately, we have Katy Perry, who I am beginning to suspect is aware of herself. You know how Jenna Maroney's whole life is thunder? Well, it's that but for camp and you have Katy Perry. I would like to enter into evidence the following photos. The first is of Cara Delevigne doing camp at the Met Gala on May 6. Dimitrios Kambouris Getty Images The second, if it pleases the court, is of Katy Perry doing "Katy Perry" on May 5. Allen Berezovsky Getty Images (Sounds of murmuring in the gallery. The judge bangs her gavel sternly.) I would also like to enter into evidence this photo of Katy Perry dressed like an eccentric retiree in 1973 or a fisherman in a Nickelodeon kid's show called Puffin Palace. Ricky Vigil M Getty Images (More murmuring. The bailiff faints.) And finally, I would like to enter into evidence this photo of Katy Perry dressed as your great aunt who goes by the nickname Chips and owns several Pomeranians, all cloned, and had a recurring role on a soap opera for 17 years before being replaced by an actual mannequin and is a little bit psychic. This is her headshot, by the way. Allen Berezovsky Getty Images (The entire jury rises as one and bursts into song. A confetti canon goes off.) I present all of this to support my claim that Katy Perry is so camp she has a lake and a three-legged race and a flagpole which frequently has a prankster's underwear on it; she's so camp she's sponsored by REI; she's so camp Susan Sontag's ghost called on a phone shaped like a pair of lips just to say "Yes, this. Sure. Okay, I gotta go. Please do not summon me again. I am very busy." So, of course, this year's Met Gala was a playground for Katy, who showed up to the red carpet giving Lumiere realness. Is this camp? I don't actually know anymore and Susan Sontag is not answering my calls, but the good news is that Katy has secured a pivotal role at the end of the first act of a cruise ship production of Phantom of the Opera. John Lamparski Getty Images The point of all this (is an excessive amount of prelude camp? Sure. Okay. Susan; you have got to help me) is the ensemble that Katy Perry changed into at the Met Gala after-party: a romaine lettuce cocktail dress and a massive hamburger outer shell, complete with a massive frilly toothpick turban. Kevin Tachman/MG19 Getty Images While Katy kept the costume on for most of the after-party, we did get a glimpse of the (lettuce) wrap dress in a video from a bathroom and, with it, a new definition of celebrity beef, featuring JLo as Salma Hayak in 54 and/or Khloe Kardashian doing Gatsby and Rihanna cosplay simultaneously. (Now, that is camp!) This content is imported from Twitter. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. Katy Perry (E Jennifer Lopez) nos bastidores do #MetGala pic.twitter.com/kI9vfB86yx — Portal Katy Perry 🍄 (@portalkatyperry) May 7, 2019 In the video, an unseen videographer can be heard telling Katy "we gotta go" (presumably because table 10 is asking where their meal is), so Katy stops texting and then struggles mightily but valiantly to get back into the puffy suit. Call it Return of the (Big) Mac. As Katy is struggling and being filmed, JLo glides into the bathroom and suddenly what is a visual non sequitur becomes a scene out of Glee in which Katy is Rachel Berry doing some ridiculous hijinks and JLo is Santana barely acknowledging Rachel's presence. This content is imported from Giphy. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. "Hi JLo," the videographer says. (Is that camp?!) Can you imagine speaking to JLo? With your voice? My goodness. JLo, who, might I remind you, is just trying to pee, does not respond either to someone saying her name nor to her American Idol successor who is still struggling to get into a burger costume beside her. AND THAT'S CAMP? ! Obviously, JLo and Katy do not have any beef between them that is not made of fabric and felt; nevertheless, this video is relatable in about 90 different ways. Whomst among us has not found ourselves in the presence of an icon and spent the entire time wrangling our entire bodies into the pride and joy of In-n-Out? I'm sure after the camera went off, the two celebs had a great conversation in which Katy made a lot of fast food puns and JLo said "Wait. Can you explain all of this please?" Afterward the incident that will never leave my mind, Katy returned to the party where at some point Céline Dion looked at her with a grave seriousness, grabbed her meat, and I exploded into a thousand shards of confetti. Daniel Zuchnik Getty Images AND. THAT'S CAMP. This content is imported from Giphy.

Katy Perry dressing like Beauty and the Beast's Lumière on the Met Gala red carpet actually wasn't the campiest thing she did last night. Perry changed inside to become a real snack—a hamburger slider, namely—and was really playful with all her friends at the gala and after parties. Karwai Tang Getty Images Daniel Zuchnik Getty Images Before she switched out of her chandelier Moschino outfit, she posed with Kacey Musgraves, who was dressed like a life-size Barbie. (Musgraves was also wearing Moschino.) They had a moment: Kevin Mazur/MG19 Getty Images Perry switched outfits in the Metropolitan Museum of Art bathroom. Jennifer Lopez was in the bathroom too, and one guest caught Lopez's reaction to Perry's outfit change. She was completely unfazed, as Buzzfeed first reported: After her wardrobe change, Perry pretended to be shocked by Bella Hadid putting an arm around her: Kevin Tachman/MG19 Getty Images The photos from inside the party were something, but Perry's most surprising moment of the night actually happened at the Met Gala after parties. The singer kissed Celine Dion on the lips after running into her and having a friendly chat: Daniel Zuchnik Getty Images Daniel Zuchnik Getty Images Perry did this year's Met Gala solo and spent her evening with a bunch of her celebrity friends. Her fiancé Orlando Bloom was with her during the 2018 Met Gala, although they didn't walk the red carpet then.
