Katy Perry made a bold fashion statement at the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards, turning heads with her outfit choice. The 39-year-old singer flaunted a black thong and her backside on the red carpet, pairing it with a red lace-up skirt, a matching peplum corset, and sky-high black heels. Completing her look with a pearl necklace, pearl drop earrings, and sleek ponytail, Perry also showcased a new prosthetic butterfly tattoo on her back.
Sharing a closer look at her tattoo on Instagram, Perry captioned the post with lyrics from her song, 'You’re my butterfly, sugar, baby.' The event, hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross, honored artists like Karol G, Victoria Monét, and Kylie Minogue. Perry's appearance at the awards followed her recent support for Taylor Swift at the Eras Tour show in Sydney.
During Swift's performance, Perry shared moments on social media, including a selfie with the singer and videos of Swift singing her hits. The duo's complicated relationship over the years was referenced in Swift's song 'Bad Blood,' to which Perry reacted playfully in the audience.
