Katy Perry captured attention with a bold fashion statement at Vogue World: Paris, stepping out in a striking, barely-there cutout dress. The event, held at the prestigious Place Vendôme on Sunday, saw the pop sensation don a black Noir Kei Ninomiya dress from an archival collection, characterized by strategic cutouts and a dynamic blend of soft pink and black tulle on the skirt. Completing her ensemble were lace-up black boot heels and slicked-back black hair, enhancing her dramatic appearance.
At 39, the former “American Idol” judge not only turned heads with her outfit but also led a marching band, adding a theatrical flair to the fashion show. Her presence on the runway was not just about fashion but also performance, embodying the spirit of Vogue World which integrates different cultural elements and eras of French fashion.
Perry’s runway walk was fine-tuned with advice from celebrities FKA Twigs and Cara Delevingne, captured in a light-hearted moment on Instagram. “Make sure it looks like you’re going somewhere, but not in a pop star way,” advised FKA Twigs. Perry humorously responded, “I’ve only ever been a pop star,” which brought laughter to those filming.
This fashion appearance coincides with Perry’s announcement of her upcoming single “Woman’s World,” set to release on July 11, marking her first major musical endeavor since her 2020 album “Smile.” The announcement follows her recent departure from “American Idol,” where she served as a judge for seven seasons. In February, she shared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” her plans to explore the world and potentially inspire new music, signaling a new phase in her career.
Vogue World: Paris was a star-studded affair, attracting celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter, Bad Bunny, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Serena Williams, Ciara, and Emma Chamberlain. The event creatively paired various sports with fashion, showcasing gymnastics, tennis, and fencing alongside styles from different decades starting from the 1920s.
Performances by Bad Bunny and French singer-songwriter Aya Nakumura added to the event’s vibrant atmosphere, making it a memorable night that blended high fashion, celebrity, and culture. With her standout look and forthcoming musical projects, Katy Perry continues to remain at the forefront of the entertainment and fashion industries.
