Katy Perry Rocks Arab Designer’s Shoes in New Music Video
DUBAI: US singer and songwriter Katy Perry highlighted an Arab designer this week during the filming of her house-inspired music video for the single “Lifetimes.”
She stole the show in the Glass Dalida PVC platform mules by Romanian-Jordanian footwear designer Amina Muaddi. The shoes have a clear design, with the entire structure, including the heel and platform, made from transparent material. The open-toe mules feature a flared, chunky heel.
Pairing the heels with a metallic silver mini dress called Shanghai from the Ibiza-based brand Jennyinibiland, Perry exuded a futuristic vibe. The dress features a halter neck with a cutout detail at the front and a reflective, mirror-like finish.
Katy Perry’s Chic Accessories
To accessorize, she chose the KA YO CHIMI Silvaner Clear sunglasses from Chimi, a Swedish brand known for its stylish and innovative eyewear. The sunglasses boast a clear frame and tinted lenses.
Perry teased the release of the music video on Aug. 9, sharing pictures from her shoot on Instagram.
The singer has been building anticipation for the single over the past week, sharing clips on social media featuring the song as the soundtrack.
The “Lifetimes” song is a follow-up to her female-focused single “Woman’s World,” the first track from her upcoming sixth album, “143.”
Muaddi’s Rising Influence in the Fashion World
Muaddi’s label has captured the attention of high-profile celebrities like Dua Lipa, Gigi Hadid, Kylie Jenner, and Hailey Bieber Baldwin, all of whom have been seen flaunting her designs. Her footwear designs have become a favorite among the fashion elite.
In 2021, Muaddi’s impact on the fashion world was further solidified when she earned a spot on Women’s Wear Daily and Footwear News’ prestigious “50 Most Powerful Women” list.
While the full tracklist of Perry’s upcoming album remains a mystery, it is scheduled for release on Sept. 20. Through live streams on Instagram and TikTok, she has teased a few songs and collaborations, including “I’m His He’s Mine” featuring Doechii, “Gimme Gimme” featuring 21 Savage, and “Nirvana.”
Perry’s previous album, “Smile,” released in August 2020, featured hits like “Daisies,” “Smile,” “Never Really Over,” “Harleys in Hawaii,” and “Cry About It Later.”
