Katy Perry wears the most slutty nude dress I’ve ever seen

Katy Perry is a real firework. Musically, she's a certified hitmaker with a bop that's stood the test of time, and she's equally explosive in the sartorial realm. As the queen of camp, her quirky looks have always set off group chats. (Remember when she dressed up like a chandelier on the 2019 Met Gala red carpet, then changed into a bedazzled burger for the party? Iconic.)

The "Teenage Dream" singer's latest look is causing a stir on the internet for a completely different reason. In recent months, Perry has adopted a more raunchy approach to dressing. Attachment A: She wore a see-through little black dress to the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Katie's nude dress

On April 1, Perry presented the Song of the Year award and wore a see-through little black dress to the ceremony. This look was no joke: a beaded mesh maxi dress with high armpit slits (yes, really), paired with a black bra and underwear.

The moment she bows

Perry's dress, designed by Interior NYC, was completely open at the sides and finished with a red velvet bow.

She paired it with Acne Studios shield sunglasses (Kardashian's favorite) and Khaite knee-high boots.

Another risque look

Perry's whimsical aesthetic has taken a backseat in recent months. In March, the "Roar" singer wore a cherry red suit to the Billboard Women in Music event.

She wore a strappy bustier and mermaid skirt combo by Ellie Misner Boleyn. The peek-a-boo outfit revealed her more controversial accessories: a thong whale tail and a (fake) 3D butterfly tattoo on her lower back, aka a hobo stamp.

She has entered a new era.
