Venus and Serena Williams, as well as artists Ciara and FKA twigs, made notable debuts at the annual Vogue catwalk show on Sunday, June 23, at Place Vendôme. Models Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner to the spectacle by coming on horseback. Perry made a dramatic statement with her surprise presence, showing off plenty of skin in an archival Noir Kei Ninomiya dress.

The 39-year-old Firework singer strode elegantly through the entryway and down the runway at the Parisian plaza, her geometric shapes and tulle floral embellishments glittering in the spotlight. “Introducing @katyperry wearing geometric archival Noir Kei Ninomiya during her surprise appearance on the #VogueWorld Paris runway, immediately electrifying the Place Vendôme,” Vogue said to its Instagram feed.

The response from fans was tremendously enthusiastic. Many praised her as a queen, with some saying, “Now this is a walk.” Another fan said, “Katy Perry’s ability to pull off so many things is my favorite part.” One admirer joked, “Kinda giving Hunger Games,” and another agreed, adding, “And I’m drooling.” A third enthusiast summed it up with: “I love it. “What a force!”

However, not everyone was so impressed. Many people thought the clothing was “strange,” with one Instagram user saying, “What is wrong with her? “…things are getting weirder by the day!” another person responded: “Remember when women wore clothes and had talent, now they wear no clothes to hide the fact they have no talent.”

“I can’t believe we’ve seen talents like Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Helena Christensen, Gisele Bundchin, Linda Evangelista, and Yasmeen Ghauri walk runways, only to be replaced by pop stars like Katy Perry or reality stars like Kendall. “So sad,” another comment read.
