Images show Beyoncé at the 2024 Met Gala.

Are these images claiming to show Beyoncé at the 2024 Met Gala all up in your mind? If so, we have bad news: They’re fake.

“Beyoncé met gala 2024 ! Ate left no crumbs,” read two May 7 Facebook posts, showing four photos of Beyoncé in a cowboy hat, supposedly walking the 2024 Met Gala red carpet.

But these aren’t real images of Beyoncé at the 2024 Met Gala; she skipped it. 

A closer look at the images reveals that they were generated by artificial intelligence. The four photos show four different outfits. 

They also show distorted features of photographers in the background, and the carpet in the fake photos didn’t match the 2024 gala’s green-and-cream carpet.

The images’ flowers were also off. The ones used to decorate the 2024 Met Gala’s steps were white, not pink.
