Users Say Katy Perry 'Can't Dress' After Seeing Her Wearing 'Tacky' Silver Dress at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball - Photos

Yet again, Katy Perry finds herself at the center of public discourse concerning her appearance. The outfit she wore to attend Capital's Jingle Bell Ball, where she also performed, has been criticized by netizens.

Pop sensation Katy Perry made a glitzy appearance at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball at The O2 Arena in London, England, on December 8. Unfortunately, many social media users were not pleased with what she wore.

Perry donned a silver sequin dress with a train that trailed alongside her as she walked the red carpet. The sparkly gown featured daring cutouts on each side of her body and a high-hip slit.

Elevating the already eye-catching clothing item were silver fringe tassels attached to the sides. Perry paired the gown with transparent, closed-toe heels and silver earrings. She adorned her face with shimmery eye-shadow and pink lipstick, and left her dark tresses cascading down her back.

Upon seeing photos of the "California Gurls" artist online spectators flooded social media comment sections with their opinions about her look. Most criticized her dress.

"That looks ridiculous!" opined a Facebooker underneath Page Six's video post of Perry posing for the cameras. Another noted, "Tacky outfit but beautiful Katy," while someone else remarked, "Get a better dress."

An observer chimed in with, "I am so tired of the look at my naked body look [sic]. Can we go back to real glam??" Echoing a similar sentiment, an Instagrammer wrote, "Seriously? Leave something to the imagination..😂." "Can't dress, can't sing. She's just boring," commented a critic.

A particularly opinionated spectator expressed, "I used to love Katy Perry. This time around she seems too desperate for attention. It's very off putting [sic]. Too thirsty. Time for a new styling team."

"Whoever is her stylist needs to be fired immediately," stated a netizen, while another commented, "Sorry, honey, this costume is less appropriate for you, but it's a bit polite."

Addressing Perry's physical features, a Facebooker added, "All these stars keep jacking up their appearances. They don't even look the same 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️."

Amid the criticism, however, came a few praises. "You are stunning queen!! ❤️‍🔥," gushed a fan. Another swooned, "Your beauty is unbelievable 🧡🦋," while a fellow admirer complimented, "Looking incredible!!!! 🌹."

Aside from making a glamorous appearance on the red carpet, the "Last Friday Night" artist gave an electrifying performance of her hit song "Roar" in front of 16,000 fans.

Donning a chic red two-piece outfit and furry white boots, the talented performer commanded the audience's attention as she strutted across the stage while belting out the lyrics to the track.

Still feeling the festive vibe of her performance and appearance at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball, Perry posted a playful video on Instagram in the outfit she wore to perform on December 10. She added a furry jacket to her ensemble.

The "E.T." musician held onto a mini white Christmas tree, which she played around with, moving it from in front of her face and side to side as she changed her facial expressions. "xoxo, Katy Claus ♥️," captioned Perry alongside the post.

2024 has been an eventful year for the pop star, as she released her seventh studio album "143" in September. The album has a total of 11 songs, which also include features from notable musicians such as Doechii, Kim Petras, and 21 Savage.

According to the album's description on Apple Music, "143" "captures a 39-year-old woman with her feet firmly anchored in the present" and "puts dance front and center with samples from Crystal Waters' 1991 classic 'Gyspy Woman' on the Doechii collaboration 'I'M HIS, HE'S MINE' and explores piano house on the euphoric 'LIFETIMES.'"

Speaking about her album, Perry disclosed, "I want to convey a liberating energy, the freedom to sweat on the dance floor and dance with someone you just met."

Before releasing the album and its singles, Katy Perry promoted the project. One form of promotion for her song "Woman's World" saw her posting photos on Instagram, one of which showed her flaunting her toned physique and some cleavage in a sleek, black jumpsuit adorned with green and white stripes. This look garnered significant attention online.

She accessorized the ensemble with oversized brown sunglasses and silver rings, and she styled her hair in loose, flowy waves.

Reacting to the post, one admirer praised her fit figure, exclaiming, "Stunning! Those arms!" Another fan admired her bold new style, writing, "Love the new look." Amid the praise, however, some fans noted her weight loss.

A commenter reminisced over Perry's fuller figure, saying, "She looked better with more weight. Not everyone likes a stick," and adding a laughing emoji to their comment.

A long-time follower observed, "She's not the same girl anymore that impressed me." A curious social media user questioned her weight loss, asking, "What did she do to get so thin? Please explain." Another simply wondered, "Ummm but what's wrong with her?"

Perry first broke the news about her then-new track on June 18, by sharing a sultry photo that caused quite a buzz. The singer decided to unleash her wild side, flaunting her stunning figure in a daring white bikini. She added a futuristic twist with black armored legs that gave her a partially robotic look.

In addition to the photo, she also shared a riveting video of herself rocking the same daring outfit and lip-syncing a few lines from "Woman's World." The clip featured Perry whipping her hair dramatically and pulling the camera in close, offering a tantalizing preview of her striking ensemble and adding to the anticipation.

These bold posts ignited a flurry of reactions from online users. Some expressed surprise, with comments like, "Doesn't even look like Katy" and "Umm, what happened to Katy Perry? She does not look the same."

One user suggested a wardrobe revamp, while another conservative critic lamented, "You have forgotten where you came from! We don't want to see that image! So disappointed!" But Perry's loyal supporters quickly defended her, with one admirer gushing, "Goddess."
