In August 2020, pop icon Katy Perry turned a casual moment into a viral sensation—dancing in sweatpants and a cropped hoodie by Outdoor Voices while proudly showing off her bare baby bump. Inspired by the Mufasa “Friday dance” video, the playful clip not only highlighted her fun side but also sparked buzz for her comfy-chic maternity style.
From her sporty outfit to the celebrity-loved activewear brand behind it, here’s a closer look at the fashion and footwear that made this maternity moment unforgettable.

Katy Perry gave birth to her daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, on August 26, 2020. She was born on October 25, 1984, making her 35 years old at the time of Daisy’s birth.
Before embracing motherhood in comfy-chic sweats, Katy Perry was already making fashion waves on the red carpet. Known for her theatrical flair and bold fashion statements, she often blended music with eye-catching style.
One standout moment came years earlier at the 2013 MTV VMAs, where she traded jungle vibes for a knockout performance inspired by boxing—and made sure her outfit packed just as much punch.

In August 2013, Katy Perry opted not to perform a jungle-themed act at the MTV Video Music Awards, instead opting for a boxing-themed stage, as opposed to the rainforest and wild animals depicted in the teaser for her upcoming video, “Roar.”
However, the pop star more than hinted at her video’s theme by donning a leopard dress by Emanuel Ungaro.

It initially baffled us as to why Katy Perry would rehash a look that had become one of Coco Rocha’s most iconic red-carpet moments to date.
On May 6, 2013, Coco Rocha attended the Costume Institute Gala, also known as the Met Gala, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The theme was “Punk: Chaos to Couture,” celebrating the influence of punk subculture on high fashion. Rocha’s outfit by Fausto Puglisi for Emanuel Ungaro is iconic for its bold interpretation of the theme and its alignment with her reputation for edgy, statement-making style.

Still, upon hearing Katy Perry’s latest song, we finally understood.

The pop star opted for a shorter version of Coco Rocha’s look, pairing a pair of gold-and-black heels by Celine to complete her VMA ensemble.

Her jewelry was kept to a bare minimum, given the very busy print (butterflies and leopard) of the designer dress.

Katy Perry’s friend and stylist to the stars, Johnny Wujek, considers this look one of his favorites to date.
“The [Emanuel] Ungaro dress was roaring from the runway for VMAs,” Wujek told Us Weekly. “It was just the animal we needed for this red carpet moment.”

The VMAs red carpet is the best time to experiment with serious-but-fun looks, and this look was spot-on for Katy Perry’s crazy-but-chic persona.

While Katy Perry brought fierce feline energy to the red carpet, she wasn’t the only one turning heads that night. Fellow fashion icon Coco Rocha also made a statement at the 2013 MTV VMAs—ditching glam gowns for a rocker-chic leather look that stole the spotlight in its edgy way.
