The singer added that because the annual occasion has great prominence, she felt a need to make fun of her makeup blunder.
As I strolled around the Met Gala, one of the most glamorous events ever, I tried my best to look stunning. After looking at a photo of myself from the event, I realized that my tanning lotion had made me look a bit too orange. Despite feeling a tad bit embarrassed, I didn’t let it affect me. I knew it was going to be a hot topic for discussion, but I decided to share a funny video about it on my Instagram page.
The reason why I had my security team record me was because my initial instinct was to leave the place quickly, said the singer. She added that she was rushing towards her car and planned to upload the video on the internet. The clip was meant to show her reaction after checking out her pictures from the Met Gala. In the caption of the video, Gomez joked that leaving the event was the best decision she made “after I saw my photographs from MET.” According to an insider who spoke with People, the singer used the footage to make fun of herself for her appearance.
As per their statement, she was simply responding to those who were making comments about her hair and tan, and decided to make a humorous remark about it.
As per the source, it was mentioned that the artist was very fond of her attire for the night and had picked it out just before the Met Gala. The report further stated that she had the option to choose from two dresses and finalized on Sunday which one to wear. She was extremely pleased with her choice and had a special attachment to the dress.
