Social media users weren't a fan of the bold look, with one person commenting on X, "she did all that teasing…. JUST FOR THIS. A basic DRESS WITH A CYBORG MASK IM LOGGING OUT GOODBYE SHE PLAYED JUST LIKE HER ALBUM."
"A f------ mess," declared a second critic, while a third admitted, "she should’ve stayed at home."
"Still in her space era," another person quipped, referring to when she went on a short but controversial trip to space via Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin.
The star teased her look on TikTok.
At the NYC gala, Perry was seen taking photos solo and alongside Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie.

The pair first sparked dating rumors in the summer of 2025 and went Instagram official that December, with the "Roar" singer posting photos of them together while vacationing in Japan.

“She’s super nice. She’s super down to earth. She’s great,” he raved. “I think that my dad’s happy so that’s important.”
