Katy Perry is no stranger to controversy, but did she just take it to a whole new level? The pop icon wowed and bewildered audiences alike during last year’s Balenciaga Show in Paris, where her ensemble was the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons. Fast forward to June 2024, and she strutted her stuff down the Paris streets sporting a jaw-dropping fur coat—totally open and showcasing a slimmer figure. Is there a new trend emerging in celebrity fashion, or is this just a cry for attention? As she flaunted her curves, opinions flew fast and furious, igniting social media debates about decency and taste. Buckle up, because it seems like Katy is ready to make headlines yet again, and not just for her music!
Katy Perry more than turned heads with her statement outfit at last year’s Balenciaga Show in Paris, although she didn’t receive much in the way of positive feedback.
In June 2024, the singer showed off her jaw-dropping weight loss in a show-stopping fur coat worn open, stepping out onto Paris streets as she repped the Spanish designer during Paris Fashion Week.
Flaunting her cleavage and whittled-down torso as she displayed her slimmer figure, Katy made front-page news for her brazen display, seemingly raising eyebrows with fans.

Scroll for all the photos. Surrounded by crowds and sending out major Hollywood starlet vibes, Katy flashed her curves in a black fur coat, choosing crushed-effect fabrics with lapels and a maxi length.
Wearing absolutely nothing beneath her outwear, the “Woman’s World” hitmaker added Balenciaga’s signature pantaboot, rocking skintight sheer stockings with a rip and feeding them into pointed-toe black heels with a stiletto finish.

Displaying her taut abs as she sparked Ozempic rumors, Katy added statement dark shades, completing her look with her dark hair scraped back into a bun. Keeping glam with a heavy face of matte makeup, the 40-year-old showed off her chiseled features, and talk was as much about her bold fashion choice as it was about her weight loss.
The photos quickly made The Daily Mail‘s headlines, where over 1,800 comments have been left. “She looks terrible. Less is more sometimes,” one user wrote, gaining over 600 likes.

Meanwhile, over 1,300 fans agreed when a separate user replied: “I am no prude, in fact very open minded but that is just plain disgraceful. There used to be a law against such things where you could be charged with indecent exposure.” Also thinking that the look was too full-on was the fan stating: “Looking desperate. Shame because she doesn’t have to.”
Katy Perry also wound up slammed for repping Balenciaga, a brand that’s proven controversial since 2002, when an ad campaign showed children holding teddy bears in bondage clothing. SKIMS founder Kim Kardashian also fronts the luxury label.

The above photo offered a reminder of Katy Perry’s new body as she promoted her 143 album, released last fall.
Posting on Instagram while modeling a colorful, structured butterfly top and low-slung jeans, Katy held vinyl copies of her record, showing off her taut stomach and curves while earning herself over 1 million likes.
Katy made her music comeback in July 2024 with “Woman’s World,” although her attempt to jump back into music essentially proved a flop. The mom of one has continued to promote her beats, releasing her “Lifetimes” track. Follow our Facebook page for more updates from Katy!
