This year’s Met Gala theme was “Fashion in the Age of Technology.” So, Katy Perry, who loves Japan, sported a Tamagotchi along with her Prada gown.

“Well, this is a Tamagotchi,” Perry told Vogue’s André Leon Talley. “It’s been my tech contribution for this year’s Met Gala. It’s humble, but it’s tech.”
