1. Chic in Chocolate: Katy Perry Wears Bottega Veneta Shearling Coat and Spritz Heels
The 38-year-old singer started her day with an appearance on Good Morning America, wrapped up warm in a Bottega Veneta Resort 2023 coat.
Arriving at the studio in NYC, Katy Perry posed for the cameras in an $11,000 chocolate brown leather coat with cream Merino Shearling trims, button closure, and a matching leather belt.

Once inside, the Fireworks hitmaker took off her coat and showcased her figure in a burgundy fluid suede Spring 2023 mini dress with a flattering beige cowl neckline and gold shoulder accents that complemented her Bottega Veneta chunky gold drop earrings and yellow acetate “Rim Aviator” sunglasses.
Katy kept the look cohesive with the assistance of her longtime stylist, Tatiana Waterford, by carrying a “Knot” bag and slipping into the house’s “Spritz” braided heels in rich burgundy.
Featuring a classic pointy-toe silhouette, these pumps have been given a modern update with braided ankle cords, gold hardware tips, and 4.6-inch heels that added significant height, making the 5’7″ (170.2 cm) tall Katy Perry, who wears a US shoe size 8, appear even taller and more statuesque.

Makeup artist Michael Anthony highlighted Perry’s eyes with mascara and eyeshadow in a neutral palette with matching nude lip color.
Meanwhile, hairstylist Jesus Guerrero, whose famous clients include Kylie Jenner, Khloé Kardashian, and Jennifer Lopez, styled her dark hair in a messy updo with loose strands framing her face.

2. Street Style Edge: Katy Perry Rocks Balenciaga Moto Jacket and Distressed Denim
Katy Perry later left the GMA studio in more casual attire, wearing a jacket and jeans. Orlando Bloom’s baby mama embraced the Y2K resurgence in a ribbed white tank top with low-rise acid-wash distressed baggy jeans by luxury denim label R13.
Under Tatiana Waterford’s styling, Katy lent her laid-back outfit a splash of color by donning a bright yellow Balenciaga “Shrunk Racer” jacket, available for $4,290 at Farfetch.

The Kill Bill-style outerwear was designed in semi-shiny soft bull skin leather and had a cropped length with contrasting black stripes along the shoulders and sleeves. It also had a snap collar, zipped cuffs, a double-ended front zip, and two zipped slash pockets.
Perry ditched her chunky earrings and instead wore a selection of silver midi rings by Mara Paris. She styled with the $252 Hope Double Ring, the $236 Hope Core Ring, the $184 Future Legend Ring, and the $242 Hope Open Ring.
Her heels were hidden underneath her pants, but she appeared to be wearing pointed-toe shoes.

3. Pretty in Pink: Katy Perry Stuns in Alexander Wang Suit and Platform Pumps
Katy Perry ended her day by stopping by The View alongside co-judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan to promote American Idol Season 21’s Hollywood Week.
Continuing her style streak, the footwear designer wore a head-to-toe pink ensemble fresh off Alexander Wang’s Fall 2023 runway.

The ensemble consisted of a long, boxy double-breasted blazer and matching baggy trousers in Barbiecore pink, partially overshadowed by the contrasting black fringe dress layered underneath her jacket.
The unique statement frock featured a sweetheart neckline and a fringe design that reached the floor. It perfectly matched her snakeskin-embossed black platform pumps with open toes, thick platforms, and sky-high stiletto heels.

She then traded her set of rings for a $350 pair of Agmes “Baroque Luca” silver earrings set with a Baroque Freshwater pearl. Keeping the rest of her look low-key, Katy hid her eyes behind a pair of Prada Runway sunglasses.
