On June 25, 2024, singer Katy Perry attended Paris Vendome for Fashion Week in The Ritz hotel in Paris. She attracted attention as she wore a 200-yard-long one-shoulder red dress with lyrics to her upcoming single Woman's World on it.

Perry's upcoming single Woman's World will come out on July 11 and will be a part of her sixth studio album. Her last album, Smile, came in 2020. After her appearance in the red dress, fans took to X to compliment Katy on the concept of her outfit. While most of them were in awe of her fashion, some felt she was doing too much. Here are some reactions:

"she's bringing back actual rollouts," a fan said.
"Absolutely gorgeous," another fan wrote.
"A marketing genius and a pop music genius," another fan commented.
"ICONIC!!! POP ERAS ARE SO BACK," another fan added.

Meanwhile, many fans made jokes about the dress while some felt it was a bit much.

"This guy will make a Katy hate account after this," a fan posted while sharing a video of a crew member rolling her long dress.
"They be doing too much," another said.
"How has someone not stepped on the very end so she can't move?" another posted with a laughing emoji.
"Cruella did it first," a fan thought.

As Katy Perry walked out of her limousine on Tuesday (June 25) to attend Paris Vendome for fashion week, she displayed the lyrics to her upcoming single, Woman's World on her 200-yard-long red dress.

Katy Perry also waved to the crowd as she walked in. Billboard has deciphered some lyrics in Katy's dress and it says:

“She’s a winner, champion/ Superhuman, number one/ She’s a sister, she’s mother/ Open your eyes, just look around and you’ll discover/ You know/ It’s a woman’s world and you’re lucky to be living in it.”

Genius.com added some more snippets of the lyrics on their website, as displayed on her red dress:

Sexy, confident/ So intelligent/ She is heaven-sent/ So soft, so strong

The lyrics reportedly continue,

She's a flower, she's a thorn/ Superhuman, number one/ She's a sister, she's mother/ Open your eyes, just look around and you'll discover/ You know/ It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be living in it.

Popular designer Balenciaga dressed her for the event. The red dress was a part of the designer's 2024 pre-fall collection. Katy Perry looked beautiful as she paired up her red dress with black-leather toe pumps and a pair of simple black tights. She kept her long hair open and sported a minimal, soft makeup look.

Katy Perry's dress was featured in Balenciaga's pre-fall showcase in last December in Los Angeles. However, it was a short dress. Perry wore a much longer version with the lyrics of her single woven into it this time.


Katy Perry spoke about her upcoming 'KP6' era during Residency show in November 2023

Back in November 2023, Katy Perry teased the release of her upcoming sixth studio album during one of her residency shows in Las Vegas. Speaking on stage, Perry told her fans:

“If you couldn’t love me in my Witness and Smile eras, then you can’t love me in my KP6 era."

Perry's last two albums, Witness (2017) and Smile (2020) did not gain as much commercial success as expected. The albums could not replicate the success of the singer's best-known albums, Teenage Dream (2010) and Prism (2013). The singer has released no album for four years since 2020s Smile but has been teasing her fans about her upcoming album for a while.

In a 2023 interview on Good Morning America, Katy Perry revealed that she's been working on her sixth album. The birth of her daughter, Daisy Dove, according to Katy Perry, inspired the upcoming album.

“I haven’t put any new material out since my Darling Daisy. I think that I’m writing a lot and have written a lot from a place of love because I’m feeling so much of it—so much unconditional love, that love you never knew existed.”

Katy Perry assured fans she's "always writing" and that she'll be back soon. She stated she was taking a little more time to get this right.

“I’m always writing, I have been, but I think what’s really important to me is to be celebrating the world that I’ve got to build with all of these wonderful songs and to be responsible for a life for a three-year-old. I will be back, but let me get this right.”

Dr. Luke, Aaron Joseph & Rocco Did It Again, as per Genius.com. produces Katy Perry's upcoming single. Rolling Stone also reported the same, mentioning that Perry's label, Capitol Records, confirmed the news. Dr. Luke has previously produced many of Katy's hits, including Dark Horse, Roar, and California Gurls.
