The [pop princess](http://time.com/5204864/katy-perry-responds-to-taylor-swift-superfan-on-american-idol/) paired her gold chain-mail mini dress with a pair of matching thigh-high heeled boots, and of course, her larger-than-life feathered wings; Katy’s opulent Versace look was an appropriate choice for the night, seeing as how designer Donatella Versace is one of the 2018 Met Gala co-chairs. > [](https://twitter.com/voguemagazine/status/993638765330599936) As might be expected, Katy’s winged look elicited plenty of opinions online, with the Internet taking to social media to share their many feelings on the matter. Some corners of the Internet had jokes about the look. > [](https://twitter.com/margarita/status/993638685139718144) > [](https://twitter.com/Joaqosmico/status/993633905906503681) While others just had hot takes. > [](https://twitter.com/lilyallen/status/993638379995713536) > [](https://twitter.com/Dazed/status/993639326092353537) > [](https://twitter.com/VVFriedman/status/993633531560677376) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5268745/katy-perry-met-gala-2018/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5268745/katy-perry-met-gala-2018/"},"headline":"The Internet Takes Flight Upon Katy Perry's Giant Angel Wings at the 2018 Met Gala","datePublished":"2018-05-08T00:52:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:42.478Z","description":"Fly girl","url":"https://time.com/5268745/katy-perry-met-gala-2018/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Met Gala 2018"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb5620b09dda317a4/69892fbdbc6cfc09ab3e5df4/gettyimages-955762882.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb5620b09dda317a4/69892fbdbc6cfc09ab3e5df4/gettyimages-955762882.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US-ENTERTAINMENT-FASHION-METGALA","caption":"US-ENTERTAINMENT-FASHION-METGALA","creditText":"ANGELA WEISS—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5268745/katy-perry-met-gala-2018/","name":"The Internet Takes Flight Upon Katy Perry's Giant Angel Wings at the 2018 Met Gala"}}]}] ```
