Katy Perry stuns in a ripped bralette and skirt

For her awards night at the 2024 MTV VMAs, Katy rocked a stunning look from Who Decides War’s Spring 2025 collection. Her outfit was a mix of Victorian influences with a modern twist. Crafted in delicate ivory tones, the dress featured distressed fabrics, asymmetrical drapery, and torn detailing, paying a mesmerizing homage to Victorian-era fashion. Perry wore a torn, one-shoulder crop top paired with a matching low-cut skirt that hugged her figure perfectly. The structured, deconstructed style of her ensemble, featuring draped fabrics and a train, created a dreamy, ethereal silhouette that stood out as a true high-fashion moment.

Katy kept her accessories minimal, allowing the intricate details of her dress to really shine. Her makeup was a total glam moment, with shimmery eyeshadow, mascara-covered lashes, defined brows, bold winged eyeliner, dewy base, luminous highlighter, and a nude lipstick that added just the right amount of elegance. Her sleek, wet hair perfectly matched the edgy, modern vibe of the ensemble.
