Katy Perry sparked controversy with her Star Wars-themed tour costume, drawing mixed reactions from fans and fashion critics alike.
Katy Perry is making headlines once again, this time for her costume during her Lifetimes Tour.
The pop star showcased a new outfit inspired by C3PO, the famous robot from Star Wars.
While some fans appreciate her creativity, others have criticized her for taking her space-themed persona too far.
Katy Perry sparks debate with Star Wars themed tour costume after Blue Origin space flight
Over the weekend, Katy revealed her latest costume, which is a shiny, cyborg-style suit.
The outfit was designed by Zaldy, a well-known costume designer who has won several Emmy Awards.
The costume features metallic panels and wiring, giving it a futuristic look. However, many people online felt that the outfit made her look like a “glorified space tourist.”
This criticism came after her recent trip to space with Blue Origin, which some fans found excessive.
Katy’s costume included flesh-colored fishnet layers to maintain her modesty.
She flaunted her slim figure in the ornate creation, which also featured hinged panels.
Hairstylist Andrew Ly created a unique wig filled with tinsel, while makeup artist Alexandra French gave her a complete makeover.
The pop star shared a video of the outfit on her social media, captioning it “Introducing KP143,” a nod to her latest album.
Katy’s tour features a robot character.
The theme of Katy’s tour involves her portraying a half-human, half-robot character. This character battles against an all-powerful AI called the Mainframe.
During her concerts, she even wields a double-bladed lightsaber, similar to the iconic Darth Maul.
Katy explained that her performance messages focus on self-belief and love, regardless of the extravagant costumes.
Social media reactions
The reaction to Katy’s new look has been mixed. While some fans appreciate her bold choices, others feel she has gone too far.
One user said: Still not giving up?
The second user wrote: bad quality music so they make up for it with a lavish stage show, now its a 200 quid ticket
The third user added: she has lost the plot and is seeming like Madonna trying to hang on for dear life.
The fourth user said: She is morphing into as ridiculous and grotesque a spectacle as Madonna but Perry has somehow achieved it about 20 years before the former did.
Another user said: Just another celebrity with a vastly overinflated sense of their own self importance trying desperately to stay relevant….next!
Katy Perry sparks debate with Blue Origin space flight
Katy’s space trip, which occurred earlier this month, was an 11-minute journey that allowed her to experience weightlessness.
This adventure included an all-female crew, showcasing a significant moment in history.
However, some fans believe that her costume choices since then have been more about showmanship than substance.
