You must have noticed that as soon as we open Instagram, there is one or another reel or post which looks like the Met Gala red carpet. And no, these are no longer the real Met Gala 2026 red carpet look images captured by paparazzi, instead, people are making their own look. Thanks to ChatGPT and Google Gemini.
From giant bubble dresses and futuristic metallic gowns to dramatic feather capes and crystal-covered silhouettes, everyone is using AI prompts to create high-fashion edits that look straight out of a celebrity red carpet appearance. And honestly, some of the results look surprisingly realistic.
I couldn't hold myself and ended up trying some looks for myself and my colleagues. All you need to do is upload your image, add a detailed prompt, and let AI transform your normal photo into a luxury fashion editorial moment. Here are the detailed steps.
