Katy Perry shared a snap of 'what would have been' her Met Gala 2020 costume

Katy Perry has shared a sneak peek at 'what would have been' her Met Gala 2020 costume.

The 35-year-old star - who is expecting her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom - revealed on Monday night that she was due to wear a stunning Jean Paul Gaultier corset

The beautifully crafted, blush pink look is an homage to the designer's iconic cone bra, famously worn by his muse Madonna during her Blonde Ambition tour in 1990.

Gaultier originally created the look in 1983, launching the trend of wearing underwear as outerwear.

The theme of this year's Met Gala was set to be About Time: Fashion and Duration - and Katy's look would certainly have been a timeless testament to the French designer's legacy.

Sharing a picture of the garment on a dummy wearing a faux baby bump, Katy wrote: 'what would have been... #TheMetBall2020'.

This year's Met Gala was postponed 'indefinitely' in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.
