Katy Perry took the prize for the most daring to be different outfit seen on the fiery red carpet at the Billboard Women in Music Awards 2024.
The singer has everyone talking about her red ensemble after the Wednesday event that was held in Los Angeles. The main accessory for Katy’s look was an item that is not typically associated with high fashion: a thong. But truly completing her fiery hot look was the delicate addition of a butterfly tattoo.
Katy's red hot two-piece outfit by Ellie Misner had a corset top paired with a fit-and-flare skirt. That sounds quite ordinary, right? But what really amped up the red carpet moment was the skirt featuring a loosely laced back to reveal a black G-string perched high on her hips. Adding the final hook to her look was the flesh-colored prosthetic tattoo of a butterfly that comfortably sat right above the thong.

The I Kissed A Girl singer had her dark locks tied up in a long, sleek pony, falling right above her tattoo.
The singer shared a carousel on Instagram with shots from the Billboard Women in Music Awards and captioned it, “You’re my butterfly, sugar, baby.”

A second carousel on her Instagram page included pics she clicked with others at the event. The carousel concluded with a video in which Katy said the following about the seemingly faux tattoo: “Don’t worry, guys. I didn’t brand my tramp stamp back with a butterfly.”
Fans cheered her on for her spicy red look, with one saying they were “obsessed.”

Whoever picked Katy’s outfit can surely say, “Mission accomplished,” as one fan commented, “You’ve got our attention ma’am.”
While some praised the look, others were not too impressed.

“Katy, you're trying too hard,” one wrote, while another added, “I just wanna know what sorcery (or glue) kept those g-string straps in place without rolling around!!”

There were also some people who were more concerned about what would happen if Katy had a particularly windy situation in her ensemble.
“I commend you for living dangerously. You were one fart away from blowing that whole outfit,” one wrote.
Another said, “Damm imagine she farts and 💩 comes out.”
Imagine if "she farts," some people wondered
