Katy Perry’s upcoming sixth studio album—and her new single, “Woman’s World”—is all the Internet can talk about right now. Earlier this month, the pop star shared that her new song comes out on July 11, and the teaser clip of her singing it has since gone viral. “Sexy confident, so intelligent, she is heaven sent,” Perry sings. Some fans are claiming the star is here to “save pop music”; Others feel the song is reminiscent of one that you’d hear in a Target commercial. (Everyone’s a critic!) In the hype leading up to the release, however, Perry has been in Paris hitting the town—including appearances at Vogue World and the couture shows. Today, the singer emerged wearing her boldest City of Light look yet—a red dress complete with a never-ending train emblazoned with her own lyrics.

Call it fashion-forward promo: Perry stepped out donning a red, one-shouldered mini dress by Balenciaga printed with the lyrics to “Woman’s World.” A custom version of a dress from the label’s pre-fall 2024 collection, the look came complete with a long train—over 100 yards!—that just kept going (and going—and going). Though it’s hard to read what exactly the lyrics are, we were able to make out some key words, including “celebrate,” “lucky,” and “Uh huh.” (Based on this melange, we’re predicting an upbeat song.) As Perry ascended the steps to her hotel, the the fabric trailing behind her encouraged fans to take in the lyrical sneak peek.
