At the Met Gala, Lady Gaga wasn't the only person with more than one look.

On Monday night, pop star Katy Perry graced the pink carpet at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing a chandelier on her frame.

Designed by Moschino's Jeremy Scott, it was already an impressive-looking if not highly impractical outfit. Yes, even the lights switched on.

Well, turns out Perry had another trick up her sleeve, switching outfits mid-event. Perry's second act was a hamburger costume, complete with a lettuce dress and a toothpick hat.

It's only one of the most sought-after high fashion events in the world, but OK. Here's a video of her changing into the outfit in what appears to be the Met bathrooms — and yes, that's Jennifer Lopez wandering past.

You can't say the outfit has exactly gone down well with everyone. But it's the kind of thing you'd expect from Perry, to say the least — among the pop star's most outrageous outfits, her colossal winged outfit from the 2018 Met Gala is a (somewhat less cartoonish) highlight.

What is even fashion anymore?
