Katy Perry Stuns in Barely-There Oscar de la Renta Dress and Aquazzura So Nude Heels at Met Gala

There’s no denying Katy Perry loves dressing to the theme and wearing over-the-top red-carpet outfits, having worn a pair of six-foot-high angel wings and a 40-pound chandelier at the 2018 and 2019 Met Gala, respectively.

In May 2022, the then-37-year-old singer gave us a timeless look with a barely-there dress incorporating draping and lace detailing.

Oscar de la Renta designed her one-shoulder gown with floral cut-out lace and sheer tulle opera gloves.

The outfit was styled around a silver metallic mini skirt with tulle draped across the gown for an ethereal look, giving the illusion of a ‘barely there’ dress.

Katy Perry Surprises Fans With Unexpected Met Gala Look After Teasing a Wild Outfit

The American Idol judge teased her look for the Met Gala ahead of the event. She told Page Six she would “play a whole different card.”

“You know, it would be pretty obvious for me to go play the kooky, crazy, wild, big, fun, colorful card.”

“Maybe I’ll just come in a suit of armor or something. Maybe I’m not even going, because I’m going to send someone the armor and they’re just going to pretend to be me.”

It was indeed an unexpected look for Katy Perry, who previously wore a chandelier to the MET Gala.

Katy Perry Keeps Her Beauty Look Simple With Sleek Chignon and Radiant Makeup

Orlando Bloom’s girlfriend also maintained a classic, understated beauty look. Hairstylist Rick Henry created a sleek center-parted chignon, while makeup artist Michael Anthony simply enhanced her natural beauty with roseate smokey eye makeup, bright blush, and nude lipstick.

“It’s a very pared-down, stripped back, and genuine approach that I think works so well with her dress and this year’s theme,” Michael Anthony told Vogue.

“I didn’t want or need to do much more than provide a radiant complexion to let her authentic beauty shine through,” he added.

Katy Perry Completes Her Met Gala Look With Aquazzura So Nude Sandals and Diamond Jewelry

With the help of her stylist Tatiana Waterford, the singer styled her classic look with Briony Raymond antique diamond earrings and a pair of Aquazzura So Nude PVC and leather sandals set upon 4-inch stiletto heels.

Standing at 5’7″ (170.2 cm) and wearing a US shoe size 8, Katy Perry subtly elongated her statuesque frame with the help of her heels. The design, true to its “So Nude” name, creates an almost-barefoot illusion that’s sensual, elegant, and enhances the natural curve of the foot.

One part of the night that Perry probably won’t want to remember is getting her open-toe sling-back stilettoes stuck in a grate when leaving for the event.

Derek Blasberg, head of fashion and beauty partnerships at YouTube, captured the mishap and kindly shared it with his Instagram followers.

Someone in the background can be heard saying, “She’s beauty and she’s grace,” to which Katy responded, “She’s also got her foot stuck in the vent!”

“Oh no, no!” Katy said while trying to free her heels. “Never a dull moment,” Derek later said in the video as he pans the camera towards himself.
