Stylish Spacebound: Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, and Gayle King Dazzle in Designer Astronaut Suits
Let’s talk about an out-of-this-world fashion moment happening soon—Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez, and Gayle King are gearing up for a space mission, and they’re doing it in style. The trio is set to join an all-female crew aboard a Blue Origin rocket on April 14, and these suits are anything but ordinary. Designed by the fashion label Monse, the astronaut suits are a blend of functionality and flair, crafted specifically for female bodies, because honestly, who wants to wear a suit made for a dude?
Lauren Sánchez, who has been spearheading the design initiative, shared that the mission’s attire was born out of a desire to create something truly unique. “These suits are not just tailored for women; they’re designed with us in mind,” she told The New York Times. The custom suits feature flame-resistant stretch neoprene, ensuring comfort and style while allowing for a little customization—think fitted looks with zippers for a bit of flair. It’s like they’re taking runway fashion right into the cosmos, and that’s just iconic.
Sánchez and her fellow space travelers, including NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, astronaut Amanda Nguyen, and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn, have been busy prepping for their historic flight. The design process even included a 3-D body scan to guarantee that every inch of the suits fit just right—because, let’s be real, no one wants a wardrobe malfunction in space. Sánchez mentioned trying on prototypes and making sure she could do backbends without worrying about a fashion faux pas in zero gravity.
And it doesn’t stop with just the suits. The ladies are all about glam, with Sánchez joking about lash extensions making their way into the capsule. Perry chimed in about bringing the sparkle to space, saying, “We are going to put the ‘ass’ in astronaut.” Because why shouldn’t space exploration include a little glam?
The mission is set to launch at 9:30 a.m. ET, and the excitement is palpable. This flight not only celebrates female empowerment in a traditionally male-dominated field but does so with a touch of style that reflects the personalities of these pioneering women. Talk about making history look good.
So, as we count down to lift-off, it’s clear that this isn’t just about breaking barriers; it’s about doing it fabulously. Space is the new runway, and these women are ready to show the universe what they’ve got. If this trends, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
