At a prestigious music gala, Katy Perry’s bold ensemble fueled public speculation about her possibly expecting a new baby. People were riddled with questions and theories upon seeing social media posts and footage of the chart-topping artist.

Celebrated pop icon Katy Perry recently set the internet ablaze with her appearance at the Billboard Women in Music event. Donning a striking red two-piece ensemble that mirrored the allure of a mermaid, the 39-year-old found herself at the epicenter of widespread pregnancy rumors.

For her look, Katy opted for a daring blend of a strapless corset and a figure-hugging red skirt accented with silver fabric and criss-cross detailing that left her underwear and a bit of her backside exposed. She paired her ensemble with pearl earrings and a pearl necklace, red lipstick, towering black heels, and fashioned her black locks into a sleek long ponytail and fringe.
