Selena Gomez’s absence from the 2023 edition of Met Gala stirred a frenzy amongst her fans. Nevertheless, they seemed desperate to see the singer attend the lavish event, and this led to a user Photoshop an image of Selena Gomez in Lily James’ ocean blue Met Gala dress, which has gone viral on various social media platforms including Twitter. The post continues to garner more likes and retweets than anyone's real Met Gala look, reported by PopFaction.
While Twitter added fact-checking context to the post, over 22 million people viewed the fake image, and 392,900+ people liked it, which features the extent of Selena’s massive fanbase and popularity and how much her fans want to see her return to Vogue’s popular fashion event.

The American singer and actress recently wrapped up the shooting for ‘Only Murders in the Building’ in New York City, where the 2023 Met Gala was held. She returned to California where she was spotted getting dinner with her sister in Hollywood on April 24.
The ‘Calm Down’ singer last appeared at the Met Gala Event back in 2018, and she later called it one of her biggest beauty disasters because of her fake tan. Gomez later shared a footage of herself running from the event on her Instagram handle. “Me when I saw my pictures from MET 🤷🏽♀️,” she captioned the post.
The 2023 event saw a host of celebrities and artists pay homage to the legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld.
