Katy Perry put a new spin on the "bag lady" phrase by wearing a Balenciaga dress that looked more like a piece of luggage than apparel.

Katy Perry attended the Balenciaga SS25 runway show during Paris Fashion Week wearing a black dress from the brand that looked like it was made of bum bags.

There's no question a little black dress is a wardrobe essential, able to solve any sartorial struggle and suitable for just about any occasion. We thought we'd seen every iteration of the style, so classic is the silhouette.

Katy Perry fully embraced Balenciaga‘s out-of-the-box aesthetic at the brand's spring 2025 show on Sept. 30 in Paris, where the pop star and recent VMA honoree wore a dress resembling a suitcase with thigh-high pointed-toe boots.

Katy Perry zipped into an all-black monochrome look for Balenciaga's show during Paris Fashion Week on Monday. The former "American Idol" judge joined celebrities and A-list guests like Ashley Graham and Nicole Kidman in the front row for the spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection.
