The 2020 Met Gala might be postponed indefinitely, but that didn't stop Katy Perry from sharing a glimpse at the look she was supposed to wear.

The "Never Worn White" singer shared an Instagram photo of the Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra and corset she was planning on sporting at the fashion event.

"what would have been... #TheMetBall2020," she captioned the photo.

In an interview with Access Hollywood, Perry said she had been planning on putting her baby bump on display at the Met Gala.

"I was going to definitely show off the bump, for sure, but we'll just be home!" the singer said.

A version of Perry's look was last worn by model Jourdan Dunn when she walked in Gaultier's spring ready-to-wear show in 2009. Dunn was pregnant with her son Riley at the time.

The look is also reminiscent of the costumes Madonna wore during her iconic Blonde Ambition tour in 1990, which would have been appropriate considering the theme of this year's Met Gala was supposed to be "About Time: Fashion and Duration."

Perry has spoken in the past about the ways Madonna has served as an inspiration to her.

"She did the art of transformation so well," Perry told Vogue of Madonna in 2017. "We knew about Madonna and Marilyn Manson in my family because we picketed their concerts."

The two singers even attended the 2015 Met Gala together in coordinating Moschino designs.

Representatives for Katy Perry and Jean Paul Gaultier did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
