Katy Perry is known for her outrageous fashion sense both on and off the stage – and her fans were left scratching their heads in confusion after seeing her latest red carpet look!

For a recent date night with boyfriend Justin Trudeau at the Opening Night Celebration of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles on Saturday, September 19th, the 41-year-old “Firework” singer wore what one fan described as a “ridiculous” outfit that resembled a “dining room chair,” while another went one step further and thought it looked like a “toilet seat.” We’re not kidding!

Katy Perry Turns Heads In A Divisive Christian Siriano Gown

The "Roar" hitmaker and the former Canadian prime minister looked undeniably cute on the red carpet and engaged in just the right amount of PDA (we're looking at you, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, for examples of too much PDA!) although Perry commanded all of the attention with her outfit.

The former American Idol judge's outfit consisted of a white velvet Christian Siriano Spring 2027 gown, featuring an unmistakable, bold sculptural neckline. The mom-of-one accessorized with silver open-toed heeled sandals and a delicate diamond bracelet, keeping the jewelry subtle to let the dress command all of the attention. Trudeau let his beau shine, opting for a sharp black suit and white tie, finished off with red and black socks and black shoes.

Christian Siriano is no stranger to producing bold and headline-grabbing outfits, as proven by the likes of Lady Gaga, Sydney Sweeney, and Heidi Klum, who are just three of the many stylish women who have stunned in his designs over the years. And we think this gown might be up there with some of his most talked-about!

Fans Are Divided About Katy Perry's Look On Social Media

"Good grief, what in the toilet seat are we wearing today?" asked one unimpressed fan on Instagram. "She's wearing a toilet!" exclaimed a second, in agreement, followed by three crying laughing emojis.

"Is KP wearing a dining room chair?" enquired a third, as a fourth concurred: "Her dress looks like a chair!" "Looks ridiculous," declared a fifth, as a sixth said: "Why -O-Why?! it looks like a Vespa windshield!" "Giant silky maxi pad," thought a seventh.

"One of the ugliest gowns I've ever seen," slammed an eighth. "4 rolls of tin foil and a bit of wire," joked a ninth, followed by five crying laughing emojis, as a tenth pointed out: "And they have stylists!"

"Such a baaaad look," commented an eleventh. "Nothing personal but what is with this dress style? It's not flattering at all," thought a twelfth, as a thirteenth asked: "Who approved this gown?"

Not everyone felt the same way though! "@csiriano never fails," raved one Instagram user on Siriano's account, followed by three fire emojis. "Stunning structure! Gorgeous," agreed a second, as a third concurred: "I'm obsessed with this dress! You've outdone yourself once again!"

"Love this dress!" exclaimed a fourth, as a fifth said Perry "looked fabulous," followed by a red heart emoji. "She looks wonderful," a sixth chimed in, as a seventh called her an "icon," followed by the heart eyes emoji, and an eighth called her a "goddess."
