Katy Perry Told Braless Glitter Dress Looks 'Ridiculous'

Katy Perry has fallen under fire for her latest red carpet look. The singer, 40, attended the Breakthrough Awards this weekend, showing up in a glittery gown while displaying her slimmed-down figure. Flaunting her curves in a cut-out number, Katy flew the flag for jazzy style, but fan reactions proved mixed. Many felt that Katy's fashion choice was OTT, with one user even calling it "ridiculous." The pop star is about to head into space, but it looks like she's squeezing in as many red carpet appearances as possible before leaving planet Earth.

Scroll for all the photos. Going body-hugging in a sequin-embellished dress in silver, Katy sent out futuristic vibes in a disco ball number with stomach cut-outs.

Braving a low neckline as she went braless, the "Woman's World" hitmaker flashed her cleavage and toned tummy, going floor-length in a column look with swirly, asymmetric designs on the bodice. Inching her way toward a one-shouldered finish, Katy flashed her slender arms and shoulders, also flaunting her minuscule waist in the wake of her weight loss.

Fans did, however, see a tight tan layer where cut-outs afforded a flesh effect. Katy also made a statement with a built-in hood detail in the same sparkly fabrics as her dress. Going backless and hiding the high heels she was wearing under her train gown, Katy completed her look with heavy makeup, sporting matte foundation, black eyeliner, and a nude lip.

The Daily Mail quickly published the photos and early feedback wasn't too positive. Over 100 fans agreed when the user leading the comment wrote: "Tries so hard to be 'edgy'... never pulls it off and just ends up looking naff." Another said that Katy's dress was "awful," with a third writing: "She looks ridiculous! Like something out of the Jetsons!"

Thinking that the dress was too revealing, a further fan asked: "What is it with these women and a need to show body bits?"

This wouldn't be the first sparkly look from Katy Perry this year. In March, she shared these photos on Instagram, flashing her curves in a strappy, colorful minidress that was partly sheer. Ditching her undies, but staying safe thanks to glittery fabrics down below, the brunette earned over 300,000 fan likes, including love from singers Jessica Simpson and Nicole Scherzinger.

Katy Perry will kick off her Lifetimes tour in Mexico later this month.

"It’s definitely going to hit on the whole lifetime thus far and celebrate the catalog," she told Rolling Stone, adding:

"I always remember the audience is a hybrid of different types of people. It’s Number One fans, and then it’s just voyeurs. It’s people that only know me for one song, and then people that know ‘Simple.’ It’s such a smorgasbord. … So I’ll be introducing some new songs."
