Katy Perry graced the 2017 Grammys red carpet in a daring ensemble by Tom Ford. Her gold sequined turtleneck top and blush feathered skirt made a statement, adding a striking contrast.
However, while her outfit certainly drew attention, her comment during an interview with Ryan Seacrest truly set social media abuzz. When asked about her recent hiatus from music, Perry responded with a playful yet controversial remark: “Yeah, that’s called taking care of your mental health. And I haven’t shaved my head yet!”
Britney Spears fans are taking the head-shaving joke as a mockery of Spears’ public meltdown and are now tearing Katy apart on social media. Watch the cringe-worthy moment of the interview happen in the following video.

The gold sequined turtleneck looked too long on her and oddly proportioned with her Swiffer Duster skirt.

In an interview with Vogue, Katy Perry’s stylist Jamie Mizrahi described her 2017 Grammy Awards look as “powerful and bold,” words that perfectly capture Perry’s fearless approach to fashion.
Mizrahi explained that their styling process is “always collaborative and fun,” with ideas bouncing back and forth to achieve a look with impact. Perry, who dubbed the shimmering Tom Ford ensemble “a martini,” aimed to project confidence and strength on the red carpet. “She’s willing to experiment and is always pushing boundaries,” Mizrahi said, adding that Perry’s fashion choices “symbolize a strong woman who is sure of herself.”

Paired with a soft updo and minimal accessories, the gown showcased a whimsical and romantic side of Perry’s style, capturing both the hearts of fans and the attention of fashion critics.
