People were left speechless after Katy Perry appeared nearly naked during the Vogue World: Paris runway over the weekend.
The annual Vogue runway show on Sunday, June 23, at Place Vendôme, also featured big names like Venus and Serena Williams, singers Ciara and FKA twigs, and models Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, who arrived on horseback.
Katy Perry made a daring statement with her surprise appearance, showing lots of skin in an archival Noir Kei Ninomiya dress. The 39-year-old Firework singer confidently walked through the entrance and down the runway at the Parisian plaza. Her outfit, with its geometric shapes and tulle floral embellishments, sparkled under the lights.
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.”
Fans loved her look, calling her a queen. One fan said, “Now this is a walk.”
Another fan commented, “Katy Perry’s ability to pull off so many things is my favorite part.”
One person joked, “Kinda giving Hunger Games,” while another added, “and I’m drooling.”
A third fan said, “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.”
One more 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.”
Adding to the star-studded event, tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams brought their unique mix of sports and fashion to Vogue World 2024.
Venus, wearing a custom Marine Serre design made from repurposed tennis bags, spoke to Vogue about her love for fashion.
“I’ve always had a love for fashion, and throughout my tennis career, that affinity grew even more,” she shared.
Venus emphasized the role of fashion in her athletic performance, saying, “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, how they’ll support me, et cetera. What you wear is so important in tennis.”
Serena and Venus Williams paid tribute to their sports roots while making a stylish statement at the Parisian plaza.
Overall, the event was a perfect blend of high fashion and star power, with Katy Perry leading the way, wowing the audience with her bold and stunning look.
