Katy Perry's Broadway Glamour Is a Retro Remix • CelebMafia

Katy Perry attends Broadway’s ‘Oh, Mary!’ in New York City, debuting a chic (and surprisingly understated) look that—with a little vintage-inspired hair—feels perfectly suited for a night at the theater.

It is rare that a pop star so synonymous with maximalism and candy-colored aesthetics gives us a moment of such refined, almost retro elegance. But that is the magic of Katy Perry, non? On August 12, 2025, she was photographed backstage at the Lyceum Theatre on Broadway after a performance of the play “Oh, Mary!”. She unveiled a look that was a perfect ode to old Hollywood, a style that felt both timeless and entirely hers.

The foundation of the ensemble is a striking strapless dress, its dark navy skirt contrasting sharply with a white, corset-like bodice. The sharp, structured lines of the top half evoke a mid-century sensibility, a look that would have been right at home in a Hitchcock film. It’s an elegant silhouette that frames her décolletage beautifully.

But it’s the hair and makeup that truly complete this sartorial coup. Perry’s hair, styled into a sleek black bob with a blunt, micro-fringe, is a theatrical masterpiece in its own right. It calls to mind the iconic looks of the late ’50s and ’60s, a nod to both fashion history and the dramatic flair of the stage she was celebrating. The makeup is equally precise: a soft, smoky eye and a nude lip that allows her piercing blue eyes to be the focal point. It’s a clean, intentional look that demonstrates a maturity in her style evolution. It’s all so polished, so intentional.
