Vogue World: Paris was full of thrilling surprises—Singers! Athletes! Gigi and Kendall on horseback!—but among the most delightful? An unannounced appearance from one Katy Perry, utterly electrifying the Place Vendôme.
During a portion of the show devoted to the style and silhouettes of the 1980s, models walked the Vogue World: Paris runway in Saint Laurent, Junya Watanabe, Comme des Garçons, Noir Kei Ninomiya, and a medley of other dynamic labels. They were joined by an enormous fleet of professional judokas and karatekas for a tribute to the martial arts—oh, and by Nika Taiko, a Paris-based Japanese drum group, dressed for the occasion in Pleats Please Issey Miyake.
At the center of all of that excitement was Perry, a child of the ’80s herself, who stormed the cobblestone set in a wonderfully kinetic—and daringly revealing—dress from Noir Kei Ninomiya’s fall 2019 collection. (As we know, she loves a theme.) As if we needed any further proof, this isn’t just a woman’s world but Katy’s world—and we’re all just living in it.
