Katy Perry certainly knows how to make an impression. Over the years, Perry has garnered attention for her fashion choices as much as her music. At the iHeartRadio Music Awards, the left little to the imagination.
Perry opted to wear a mesh dress, reminiscent of chainmail. The see-through dress showed off Perry’s stomach and legs. She also wore a black bra and underwear to complete the look. Perry paired the dress with knee-high boots and a pair of sunglasses. Perry attended the event as a presenter and made a splash both on stage and on the red carpet.
It’s not the first time that Perry has turned heads either. Previously, she also wore a rather revealing dress to the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Awards. For that occasion, Perry opted for a corset and lace-up skirt, and a thong. Perry has been quite vocal about her fashion choices.

“I didn’t want to wear something that was designer just because it was designer,” Perry said of her fashion choice. “I only wore it if it spoke to me and if it helped represent who I was at the time and I was really this [Met Gala look] at that moment too. I felt like, Wow I’m in sync with fashion and who I am.”
Another favorite of Perry’s was when she wore a cupcake bra and sparkling denim shorts. Johnny Wujek designed that outfit. “These shorts are actually Diesel jeans that were cut and bedazzled,” Perry said about the outfit. “When you get a spray tan the day of the music video, your color changes gradually throughout the day—so I kept on getting oranger, and oranger, and oranger,” says Perry with a laugh. “We had to spend so much extra money on color-grading this music video.”
It remains to be seen where her new outfit ranks.
