Megyn Kelly took aim at Katy Perry after the singer’s Met Gala look went viral online. The commentator used a new show segment to frame Gala 2026 as a celebrity theater. She focused on Perry’s white gown, metal mask, and six-fingered gloves. Her sharpest jab was blunt. She asked, “Did she see aliens?” That jab tied Perry’s space trip to her Met Gala 2026 styling and online reaction.
Megyn Kelly slams Katy Perry’s Met Gala 2026 look
In “The Megyn Kelly Show” episode discussing the Met Gala, Kelly opened with the event’s theme. She said the 2026 dress code was “fashion is art.” Then, she added, “Don’t understand it? No one does.” After that, she turned to Perry with a pointed setup. Kelly described Katy Perry’s outfit as a white Stella McCartney gown with a long train. She also noted a “face full of metal,” referring to the mask covering Perry’s face.
Kelly also compared the Met Gala look with Kim Kardashian’s covered-face style from earlier years. She said Perry wore “a full metal mask,” before adding that the look seemed designed “just to confuse you.” However, her main joke centered on the gloves. She said the matching white gloves were “of course, six-fingered.” Then, she asked if that was linked to Perry’s recent space trip. The comment played off the singer’s Blue Origin flight and her unusual Gala 2026 outfit. It also made the look sound less like high fashion and more like red-carpet theater.
Meanwhile, Kelly read a reported explanation about the mask’s meaning. She said it was framed as a symbolic reflection about perception and hidden truth. Still, she translated that into simpler tabloid language. Kelly called it “a long way of saying stop writing mean things about me.” For Katy Perry, the Met Gala look stayed among the night’s most discussed choices. For Megyn Kelly, it became another celebrity-fashion moment, inviting jokes.
