People were shocked when Katy Perry showed up almost naked at the Vogue World: Paris runway show over the weekend.
The annual Vogue runway show happened on Sunday, June 23, at Place Vendôme. Other big names there included Venus and Serena Williams, singers Ciara and FKA twigs, and models Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, who arrived on horseback.
Katy Perry made a bold statement with her surprise appearance, showing a lot of skin in an archival Noir Kei Ninomiya dress. The 39-year-old “Firework” singer walked stylishly through the entrance and down the runway at the Parisian plaza. Her outfit, with its geometric shapes and tulle floral embellishments, shined under the spotlight.
Vogue announced on Instagram, “Introducing @katyperry wearing geometric archival Noir Kei Ninomiya during her surprise appearance on the #VogueWorld Paris runway, immediately electrifying the Place Vendôme.”
The reaction from fans was mostly positive. Many praised her as a queen, with some saying things like, “Now this is a walk.”
Another fan commented, “Katy Perry’s ability to pull off so many things is my favorite part.”
One admirer humorously said, “Kinda giving Hunger Games,” and another agreed, adding, “and I’m drooling.”
A third fan summed it up with, “Love it. What a force.”
However, not everyone was impressed. Some people thought the dress looked “weird.” One person wrote on Instagram, “What is wrong with her?… getting weird day by day!”
Another said, “Remember when women wore clothes and had talent? Now they wear no clothes to hide the fact they have no talent.”
A further comment read, “I can’t believe we’ve witnessed talent like Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Helena Christensen, Gisele Bundchin, Linda Evangelista, Yasmeen Ghauri only to downgrade to pop stars like Katy Perry or reality stars like Kendall to walk on runways. So sad.”
Tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams added to the star-studded event at Vogue World 2024.
Venus wore a custom Marine Serre design made from repurposed tennis bags. She spoke to Vogue about her love for fashion. “I’ve always loved fashion, and it grew even more throughout my tennis career,” she said.
Venus also talked about how important fashion is to her performance in tennis. “I truly believe that to perform your best, you need to feel your best. Before a match, I always think about how I’ll feel in the clothes I wear, how I’ll move in them, and how they’ll support me. What you wear is so important in tennis,” she explained.
Serena and Venus Williams both paid homage to their sporting roots while making a fashionable statement at the Parisian plaza.
Overall, the event showcased a perfect blend of high fashion and star power, with Katy Perry leading the way as she wowed the audience with her bold and stunning look.
