You’ve seen her roar on stage, now Katy Perry is about to launch that fierce energy into space.
That’s right—she’s not just singing about kissing aliens anymore.
The pop icon is suiting up for a real-life ride into the cosmos, and true to form, she’s doing it with humor, heart, and a bold sense of style.
Alongside a powerhouse team of women—including Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez—Katy is preparing for an 11-minute Blue Origin space flight set to launch from West Texas on April 14.
The mission? To make history as the first all-female crewed flight since 1963.
Suiting Up with Style and Sass
Over the weekend, Katy and Lauren shared some snaps from their pre-launch prep—and let’s just say, these aren’t your average astronaut outfits.
Dressed in sleek, body-hugging blue jumpsuits designed by Lauren herself, the women looked like a scene out of a futuristic fashion show.
Katy joked, “We’re putting the ‘ass’ in astronaut,” and the internet loved it.
Lauren collaborated with fashion heavyweights Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim—designers behind Monse and creative directors for Oscar de la Renta—to bring a bit of “spice” to space.
From jumpsuit tailoring to underwear choices (hello, Skims!), every detail was considered.
Katy’s Cosmic Mindset and Feminine Power
Behind the glam, Katy’s been diving deep into what this journey means.
She opened up about how she’s preparing mentally and emotionally for this moment.
“I’m telling myself every day—‘You’re brave, you’re bold, and you’re doing this for the next generation,’” she said in a recent interview.
She’s been brushing up on astrophysics, reading Carl Sagan, and exploring string theory.
For Katy, this isn’t just a publicity stunt—it’s a tribute to science, inspiration, and unlocking the kind of strength she says really kicked in when she became a mom.
“I’m tapping into that feminine divine,” she shared. “Motherhood made that power level up.”
A Star-Studded Space Crew
Joining Katy and Lauren on the flight are some incredible women: journalist Gayle King, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
Together, they’ll float in space for about four minutes—just enough time to soak in the view before coming back to Earth.
The rocket, part of Blue Origin’s New Shepherd program, flies itself.
No steering needed, just bold hearts and big dreams.
Critics Say… Why Bother?
Of course, not everyone is cheering. Actress Olivia Munn recently stirred the pot by questioning the purpose of this flashy mission.
Speaking on a talk show, she joked that it sounded more like a Disneyland ride than a meaningful space expedition.
With eyelash extensions, full glam teams, and Elle magazine covers, Olivia wondered aloud, “What’s the point?
What are they doing up there that helps anyone down here?” Some laughed, others agreed—but the mission presses on.
Historic Moment or Just a High-Flying Flex?
Whether you see it as a PR stunt or a powerful statement, one thing’s for sure—this space flight is making waves. It’s the first all-female crew in over 60 years.
And while they may only be in space for a few minutes, the impact of representation could reach far beyond the launch pad.
For Katy, it’s about inspiring the next generation to dream bigger.
For Lauren, it’s about reimagining what women can wear—and do—in traditionally male spaces.
And for all six women aboard, it’s about boldly going where few have gone before.
