Over the past year, “naked dresses” have been all the rage with celebrities – as in, dresses that are made of sheer tulles or meshes, exposing the body underneath. It’s been an unexpected trend to see A-list stars willing to bare it all (well, almost!) on the red carpet in front of hundreds of paparazzi. We say: Go for it! But leave it to a fashion star like Katy Perry to take the “naked dressing” movement to a whole new level at Couture Week in Paris. Today, at the Balenciaga show, the singer stepped out in a head-turning look that, well, wasn’t about the clothes at all.
Perry – who has been teasing her new music by wearing a dress splashed with her own song lyrics – is doing the rounds in lots of eye-popping fashion this week, but her Balenciaga look was arguably her wildest one yet. The singer stepped out in the label’s plushy fur overcoat and black, ripped tight-boots, but skipped a shirt. The ample cleavage instantly made the otherwise-demure look feel racy – risqué, even! Now, we know what you must be thinking: That is not a wearable look. But this is couture! A place for celebrities to play dress-up and deliver fantasy fashion that is anything but ordinary.
