Katy Perrygot a taste of the pitfalls of high fashion at Monday night’sMet Gala!
The 37-year-old singer, who attended the 2022 Costume Institute Gala in aromantically draped Oscar de la Renta gownand clear strappy stilettos, found herself trapped, literally, when the heel of her shoe got stuck in a grated vent.
“Oh no, no!” Perry could be heard calling out as she realized she was stuck in place.
In the video, after someone is heard saying “She’s beauty and she’s grace,” Perry jokingly responds: “She’s also got her foot stuck in a vent!”

Perry wasn’t the only Gala attendee who faced a glamour mishap, as Kloss attended the gala rocking a black knee brace.
“The accessory of the year is a couture gown with a knee brace,” Kloss joked in the video as she waved her black brace in the air, which happened to perfectly match her delicately beaded Givenchy Haute Couture gown.
“The #metgala is a full-contact sport,” Blasberg joked in the caption of the video.
Hadid, who also appeared in the video briefly, wore a Burberry corset with lace tights to the event.
Kloss and Hadid both appeared concerned at making sure Perry could free herself, although Perry was quick to laugh the mishap off. “Never a dull moment,” Blasberg commented as the video concluded.
Perry, who is no stranger to slightly uncomfortable fashion statements (refer to hercouture chandeliertocheeseburgercostume change at the 2019 Met Gala), toldVogueon the red carpet she felt “great” in her gown.
However, she joked, “Don’t ask me how I’m going to the restroom ever or anyone at the Met!”
Before the 2018 Met Gala, where Perry donned a showstopping Versace ensemble complete with full size angel wings, Perry’s stylist Jamie Mizrahidiscussed the star’s aestheticwith PEOPLE.
“I will just say she will definitely make an entrance!” Mizrahi said at the time. “I mean you know Katy, how much she loves dress up and theatrics and kind of a production, so I think that is the joy in that.”
This year, however, Perry revealed she was excited to play a “whole different card” with her look, departing from kookier style statements of years past.
“Last time I came to the Met I was a cheeseburger I loved it and I was like, ‘What am I going to do tonight?'” Perry said. “I’m going to play a whole different card and now I feel like I’m just accepting the darling darkness.”
