Katy Perry fully embraced Balenciaga‘s out-of-the-box aesthetic at the brand’s spring 2025 show on Sept. 30 in Paris, where the pop star and recent VMA honoree wore a dress resembling a suitcase with thigh-high pointed-toe boots.
One could say Perry was the sartorial “Dark Horse” of the event, but fans of the singer know she is never one to disappoint when it comes to memorable fashion statements. She attended the show in a unique black dress which seemed to marry avant-garde style with enviable practicality.
The garment was intentionally designed to mirror a suitcase or duffel bag, with a myriad of zipper compartments creating a striking visual feast — whether or not they actually functioned as pockets is hard to say. The hemline of the dress contributed further dimensionality to the dress with a handle while the halter strap looked like, you guessed it, an adjustable shoulder strap. The skirt also featured duffel-like straps which were attached at the center.
$1,800
Perry stuck with the black color scheme but switched up the materiality of her ensemble with Balenciaga’s Women’s Avenue 110mm Boot. The over-the-knee boot is crafted from stretch Nappa sheepskin and clings to the leg. The bottom portion features a dramatic pump-like silhouette with a sharp toe, tapered heel, and distinctively curved back portion creating a convex outline. Balenciaga marks the shoe at a price point of $1,800.
Perry has proven over the years that she is not afraid of a bold boot. For example, she accepted the Vanguard Award at the Video Music Awards earlier this month wearing Demboza’s Dimension boots.
Of course, the “Teenage Dream” singer doesn’t just wear shoes — she is in the industry herself. Katy Perry Collections recently partnered with Hello Kitty to create a line of shoes commemorating the character’s 50th anniversary.
