Now Katy Perry draws strong reaction over Star Wars themed tour costume
Katy Perry showed off her new C3P0-inspired Lifetimes Tour costume on Saturday after suffering severe backlash for being a glorified space tourist during Blue Origin 's New Shepard NS-31 mission. The 40-year-old pop star enlisted three-time Emmy-winning costume designer Zaldy to construct the cyborg suit, which shielded her modesty with flesh-colored fishnet beneath the sci-fi get-up. Katy (born Katheryn Hudson) flaunted her suspiciously slimmed-down 5ft8in figure in the ornate creation featuring metallic-looking hinged panels and wiring on the arms, bust, panties, and legs. Hairstylist Andrew Ly created Perry's Anora-themed, tinsel-filled wig and make-up artist Alexandra French fully contoured her complexion. The 13-time Grammy nominee - who boasts 436.5M social media followers - captioned her X video: 'Introducing KP143.' The moniker was created using Katy's initials followed by 143, the name of her dismally-reviewed seventh studio album featuring the tone-deaf feminist anthem, Woman's World. The storyline for Perry's tour evidently involves her portraying the half-human, half-robot video game character, who battles an 'all-powerful AI called the Mainframe.' In fan-uploaded footage of the concert, the former American Idol judge even wields a double-bladed lightsaber just like Star Wars baddie Darth Maul to fight stuntmen and a massive tube puppet. 'It's really about believing in yourself and leading with love,' Katy explained of her concept to the Associated Press on April 18. 'Those are always my messages, no matter how I wrap it or whatever tour I bring. It's love and empowerment. When I can lead by example, it just ripples.' Over on X, the reaction to the costume was strong with user @notoriousalerts tweeting: 'You're taking that whole fake space trip you did a little too far. Go back to [singing] about lollipops and tan skin.' X user @IceeBurp sarcastically commented: 'Did you pick that uniform up in astronaut training?' '[You] go to space once and suddenly you're a sci-fi fever dream,' X user @ChrissieMayr quipped. X user @JimCorn1776 agreed: 'That just screams out "former astronaut."'
