Katy Perry never seems far away from the headlines recently, be that traveling to space, smooching with boyfriend former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, or even locking horns in a court conflict with a pair of nuns.It’s been a busy few years for the pop superstar.Perry has, without a doubt, tattooed herself into pop music history, thanks to classics like ‘California Gurls,’ ‘Firework,’ and ‘Teenage Dream,’ but some of her fashion choices over the years have raised eyebrows.In 2013, she raised quite a few eyebrows after opening the American Music Awards by styling herself as a Geisha girl for a performance of ‘Unconditionally’, with many left asking whether the outfit choice was racist.

In 2019, she was in hot water again over a shoe design from her Katy Perry Collection line.The shoes, which came as sandals and loafers, were black and designed with a face featuring prominent red lips.After the internet raged over the design choices, which allegedly resembled ‘blackface’, they were swiftly removed from the collection.And her fashion choices are once again under the spotlight, with the internet divided on what last night’s Met Gala outfit was all about.Perry returned to the Met Gala for the first time since 2022, wearing a white mask with a silver face plate. The headpiece, made by Miodrag Guberinic, linked up perfectly with her custom Stella McCartney outfit. But it has left many wondering, why?
