[Update: December 29, 2025] As 2025 draws to a close, fashion critics are looking back at the moments that defined Katy Perry’s high-fashion pivot. While the “Firework” singer spent much of this year dominating the charts with her Lifetimes Tour and navigating a heavy personal year following her split from Orlando Bloom, it was her daring appearance at Vogue World: Paris that set the stage for her bold new era. Here is a look back at the archival gown that proved Katy is still the queen of the shock-factor.
The stunning beauty posted a video and the images on her Instagram account for her millions of followers to see.
The cut-out dress featured geometric print designs stitched across her body, with billowing peach and black tulle embellishments woven into a thick skirt.
Perry’s dark brown hair was slicked back, and her makeup artist focused on a smokey eye using pink and gold shades.
Beyond the Runway: Katy’s 2025 Evolution
Since that viral night in Paris, Katy has traded the runway for the arena. Her 2025 album ‘143’ and the emotional year-end ballad ‘Bandaids’ have shown a more vulnerable side of the star.
Fans who first saw her “supermodel walk” in Paris were treated to even more theatrical costumes during her 2025 tour, which many are calling her most artistically daring work since Prism.
Here’s a glimpse of Katy Perry’s stunning gown:

“Just make sure it looks like you’re going somewhere, but not in a pop star way,” FKA told Perry.
“I’ve only ever been a pop star,” Katy responded.
She received pointers on her supermodel walk from FKA Twigs and Cara Delevingne. Perry’s appearance came nearly a month after her final stint as a judge on “American Idol.”
She also announced that her new single, “Woman’s World,” will be released on July 6.
