Katy Perry just checked “astronaut” off her bucket list, and she did it in the most Katy Perry way possible: with style, sparkle, and even a little bit of singing at 351,000 feet above Earth.
This recent mission aboard Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin rocket wasn’t just a regular trip to space, it was history in the making. For the first time since the 1960s, an all-female crew launched into space and this time in spacesuits designed specifically for women. A mission that was just as much about science as it was about style, sisterhood, and smashing stereotypes.
Perry was accompanied by Lauren Sánchez (Bezos’s fiancée and pilot), Gayle King (CBS presenter) and three other incredible women: Ed Dwight’s granddaughter Vanessa O’Brien, aviator Sara Sabry, and tech exec Gopi Thotakura.
For decades space wear was only designed for men – bulky and boxy and all about function, with little thought for comfort or design, especially for women. But this mission changed that and featured newly customized suits created specifically for women. These new suits are sleek, flexible, and actually made for women.
Designed to move with the body, they ditched the stiff, closed-off look of the past for a more modern, flattering fit. Midnight blue, sharp lines, and a silhouette that said: powerful, but stylish. And of course, Katy Perry brought the sparkle. Hair? Brushed and beautiful. Makeup? Effortless and elegant. Confidence? Through the roof. This crew showed the world that heading to space doesn’t mean leaving your style on Earth.
This mission is now being celebrated not just as a scientific achievement, but as a cultural one too. It showed young girls everywhere that there’s space for them, both literally and figuratively, in industries that were never designed with them in mind.
As the world watches this iconic moment unfold, one thing is clear: women belong in every space, boardrooms, stages, runways, and yes, even rocket ships.
And Katy Perry? She just proved you can take your style with you, all the way to the stars.
