Katy Perry stunned audiences with her daring appearance at the Vogue World: Paris runway show over the weekend. Held on Sunday, June 23, at Place Vendôme, the event featured headline appearances from Venus and Serena Williams, Ciara, and FKA twigs, with models Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner arriving on horseback.
Perry, 39, made a bold statement in an archival Noir Kei Ninomiya dress, flaunting geometric shapes and tulle floral embellishments as she strutted down the runway. Vogue announced her surprise appearance on Instagram, praising her electrifying impact on the event.
Fan reactions were mostly positive, with many hailing her as a queen. Comments included, “Now this is a walk” and “Katy Perry’s ability to pull off so many things is my favorite part.” Others humorously compared her look to the Hunger Games, while one fan summarized, “Love it. What a force.”
However, not everyone was impressed. Some critics found the dress “weird,” with comments like, “What is wrong with her? …getting weird day by day!” and, “Remember when women wore clothes and had talent, now they wear no clothes to hide the fact they have no talent.” Another lamented the shift from legendary supermodels to pop and reality stars on the runway, calling it “so sad.”
