Katy Perry Told 'X-Rated' Wardrobe Malfunction 'Vulgar' As Bra Falls Apart

Katy Perry was front-page news earlier this year as her outfit fell apart while on stage. The singer, 40, was busy belting out her beats during the Las Vegas leg of her Lifetimes tour in May, and things didn't quite go to plan. Slipping her curves into a jazzy bra and cheeky briefs paired with statement leather boots, Katy wound up in the news as her bra burst open, and fans weren't impressed. Katy, who made her music comeback last year with the release of her "Woman's World" single, has spent much of the second half of this year touring. This performance, however, made headlines for more than just the music.

Scroll for the photos. Going jazzy in a green and purple-accented two-piece comprised of a glittery bra and cheeky matching bottoms, Katy stormed around the stage, showing off her curves while highlighting her weight loss. The mom of one, who has since made headlines for her Orlando Bloom split, added leather boots rising to her thighs, wearing her dark hair tied back into a ponytail.

Holding a mic in one hand, Katy kept fans entertained in more ways than one while singing her 2010 track "Part of Me," also narrating the incident as it happened. When Katy's bra burst open at the back, the songstress declared:" Oh S*** my bra is going to come off!" Instead of exiting the stage, the pop sensation kept singing, although a trusty crew member quickly ran up to her to fix the situation.

"Put my bra back on, Patrick," Katy told her assistant before kidding that the audience hadn't "paid enough" to see her without her top on. A Daily Mail user quickly called the whole thing "vulgar," with another fan telling Katy to "grow up."

By the time these August photos of Katy Perry went viral, the singer was already sparking dating rumors with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Dropping jaws with a bombshell ocean exit just over a month ago, Katy sizzled in a plunging black bikini, turning heads with her single girl curves in the wake of her July split from actor Orlando.

Katy was in a nine-year relationship with the 48-year-old, with seven of those years forming an engagement.

In a joint statement made at the start of July, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom said: “Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting." The former couple are parents to daughter Daisy Dove, born in 2020.
