Once upon a celebrity moment, Katy Perry gave the term “shooting for the stars” a whole new meaning! For then-husband Russell Brand’s birthday, she dropped a cool £125K ($156K) on a ticket to space. Forget flashy watches or luxury cars; this was a one-way trip (and back, hopefully) to the cosmos via Virgin Galactic.

In 2011, Katy and Russell were Hollywood’s quirkiest lovebirds; this gift was the cherry on their cosmic cake. Brand had joked about heading to the stars, so Perry made the dream a reality. Sadly, the relationship didn’t last light-years, but this galactic gesture remains a moment of next-level love and whimsy. Katy, always one to think big, didn’t just aim for the moon; she aimed past it.

Fast forward to 2025, and Perry is still making headlines, but this time for her jaw-dropping fashion choices. Paris Fashion Week, Balenciaga’s Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2024-2025 show, and a daring braless outfit with everyone gasping? Classic Katy Perry. She strutted in like she owned the galaxy, dressed in a long black velvet coat that swept the floor, paired with ripped black tights and stiletto heels. The ultimate “morning-after chic” aesthetic? Nailed it.
