- She's also been wearing daring fashion for each appearance, from leather corsets to sparkling gowns.
- So far, four of those outfits have been stunning, and four have missed the mark.
Katy Perry has been everywhere this year — almost literally.
She's traveled across the country to promote her Lifetimes tour, made a few overseas appearances, and, of course, briefly flew to space with Blue Origin.
All the while, she's been sporting her signature daring fashion.
From sparkling gowns to leather costumes, here's a look at the best and worst outfits she's worn in 2025 so far.

The costume included two statement pieces: pink underwear decorated with maroon metal, and an off-the-shoulder top encrusted with hanging crystals.
Fashion designer Zaldy created the stunning outfit, which also featured a plunging neckline. Perry completed the look with silver thigh-high boots.

She was photographed outside the Balenciaga runway show in July while wearing a long-sleeved, blazer-style minidress. It had an off-the-shoulder neckline, a deep, V-shaped plunge, and a buttoned bodice.
Unfortunately, the simple dress was paired with equally simple accessories — metal-rimmed glasses and black pumps.
Some jewelry, a purse, and a more unique hairstyle could've greatly benefited the outfit.

Gaurav Gupta designed her sequinned number for the April event. It had an asymmetrical bodice, deep chest cutouts, a floor-length skirt, and a head covering.
Though its silver color suited her, the gown's skin-colored mesh was visible beneath its daring chest piece and distracted from the outfit.
Its skirt was also an awkward length — not dramatic enough to create a train, and not short enough to show her shoes.

Perry walked the red carpet in a shimmering Miss Sohee gown. The strapless piece was covered in small, square pieces with a pearl finish and even smaller sequins in between.
The gown fit her perfectly and made her one of the night's best-dressed stars. Her updo hairstyle and shimmering body makeup also complemented the gown.

While promoting her Lifetimes tour, Perry was photographed wearing a brown getup from the London-based brand KNWLS.
It featured a leather corset with a zippered shawl on top, matching sleeves, and leg straps over gray bike shorts. She completed the look with square-toed boots.
Ultimately, Perry's ensemble had too much going on. There were too many pieces to make the look cohesive, and its contrasting colors didn't work together.

The pop star hit the stage that day in a multi-layered outfit and statement shoes.
She wore a white corset beneath a running vest, gray shorts over suspender tights, and thigh-high white boots with shin and knee pads. She also wore fingerless gloves.
Perry may have been aiming to look athletic for the sporting event, but the high heels of her boots didn't match the outfit's casual aesthetic.
The ensemble also might have looked better without a few layers, like the stockings and gloves.

She hit the stage wearing a brown skirt with a deep slit, thigh-high boots in brown, and a black T-shirt from a Los Angeles fire department. The latter was altered to feature a small corset.
The outfit was casual, meaningful, and still fit for a celebrity with its fun details.

Perry was photographed arriving at the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" studio in January wearing leather pants from Area.
The $1,795 trousers had slits across each leg that were studded with gold pieces, matching Perry's $1,195 strapless top.
The outfit was chic and simple, but still had an edge and looked luxurious.
