Katy Perry brought an edge to the red carpet for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures opening gala in Los Angeles this weekend.

Arriving arm-in-arm with fiancé Orlando Bloom on Saturday, the “Daisies” singer opted for a statement dress courtesy of Louis Vuitton; the black latex design came adorned with contrasting neon pockets and a midi-length hemline for a 1960s-chic touch.

Perry’s footwear echoed her choice of attire in a patent leather finish. The almond-toe sandals also tapped Louis Vuitton with a branded logo across the wrap-ankle strap; set with a thickened hold across the toe as well, the heels appeared to measure over 4 inches in height.

As for Perry herself, the singer, who welcomed her first child with Bloom in August 2020, is no stranger to adding a bold piece to her rotation of ensembles. In addition to wearing standout looks and stylish shoes from Balmain, Bottega Veneta and Giuseppe Zanotti, the award-winning musician also has her own line of footwear. Perry launched her namesake collection in 2016 as a joint venture with Global Brands Group Holding Ltd.

“I like my shoes to tell a story through the heel, [asking]: ‘Can it be this or can it be that?’ I’ve tried to put many a different figure or ornament on the heels just to tell a story and to hopefully start conversations via your feet wherever you’re going, whatever you’re doing,” Perry told FN of her brand in 2018.
