Even her shoes and clutch were crystal-covered and shined from every angle.
Always one to stick to a theme, Perry honored this year’s exhibit, “Camp: Notes on Fashion” with her light-up design.
“When this exhibition [“Camp: Notes on Fashion”] was announced, she was like, ‘Oh my God, can you believe it? It’s all about you!’” the designer told theNew York Post‘sPage Sixbefore the gala. “And frankly, there probably isn’t a performer in pop history that’s used camp and humor more than she has. I have guesses at what people expect from us, but I’m trying to outdo those expectations. It’s going to be an eleganza extravaganza.”

Perry’s exaggerated light-up dress played into the theme perfectly.
While she had her go-to designer on-hand during her walk down the carpet, one main guy in her life was missing — fiancéOrlando Bloom. The two haven’t had a major red carpet appearance together sincebecoming engaged on Valentine’s Day. The actor, 42, popped the question to Perry, 34, in a helicopter after having a romantic dinner date.
“It was really sweet. He asked me to marry him in a helicopter,”Perry said onJimmy Kimmel Live. “The funny part is we had champagne in the helicopter and the [ring] box was in his pocket and he had written down everything he wanted to say on a note,” she revealed, explaining that the note was meant to divert her attention while he pulled out the ring.
“So I’m reading [the note] but I’m hearing the champagne is broken and the bottle’s everywhere … he’s pulling out this box that’s too big for his coat pocket, rips his coat pocket and his elbow goes into the champagne.”
But the rest of the night went smoothly. “We landed on a rooftop [in Los Angeles] — my whole family was there, and all my friends,” Perry recalled. “He did so well.”
While it’s unclear why Bloom sat out the party, it appears he’s not in New York City, according to his Instagram stories where he was seen swimming in a lake.
Perry always tends to go over-the-top with Met Gala themes.
