Katy Perry wearing red leather with a border knit in New York
After her glossy, high-octane SNL performance last weekend, Katy Perry took her husband Orlando Bloom to see the Broadway show "American Utopia" at the St. James Theater in New York City.
We love seeing this superstar in public, but we especially love witnessing her fashion moments. This time, Perry wore a knit striped midi dress by Italian luxury fashion brand Marni, which she paired with a bright red faux leather coat and matching boots. The latter was reminiscent of the form-fitting red bodysuit she wore during her SNL performance, and showed Perry's impressive ability to stay on-brand throughout the weekend.
The combination of knit and leather, incredible. We love how the leather toughens up what could have otherwise been a homely winter look. Likewise, the knit dress prevents the coat and boot combination from being too campy and softens it for daytime wear. The genius of this look lies in the counterintuitive mix of textures and patterns: luxurious and smooth, shiny and matte, patterned and plain. It inspires you to open up your closet and rethink the way you wear your favorite items in innovative new ways.
If you're tempted to replicate this look verbatim, I have bad news: both the Marni dress and the red matériel coat are sold out. But you know we can't leave you hanging. So we've put together a list of excellent alternatives so you can steal Perry's look the next time you're out on the town.
This look from eco-friendly brand Material was presented as part of their Fall/Winter 2021 collection. The red version is sold out, but the green, black, and green looks are still available for purchase. If you're like me and like eye-popping reds, check out these alternatives.
If you live in the Northeast like I do, a wool midi dress is a great option right now. Horizontal stripes are a great way to incorporate classic French style into any look. Below are both muted and colorful colors, as approved by Katy Perry herself.
Check below for the exact pair of Stuart Weitzman boots Perry is wearing, or if your size is not in stock (they sell out quickly!) ), try another one of the brands we found.
