Katy Perry ensured all eyes were on her as she arrived at The Ritz Hotel in a stretch limousine during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday.
The singer, 39, used her trip to the French capital to plug her music as she wore a dress featuring the lyrics to her unreleased new song on the train, reports TMZ.
The words are from her upcoming single, Woman’s World, which she revealed last week would drop on July 11 with a music video the following day.
Katy looked incredible in the figure hugging one shoulder number with an extremely long train, which trailed behind her as she entered the hotel.
She showed off her amazing figure in the ruched dress which she teamed with black opaque tights and towering stiletto heels.

Styling her long dark tresses loose in waves, Katy completed her ensemble with a pair of large gold hoop earrings.
The California Girls songstress flashed her gorgeous smiles as she waved to waiting fans outside the hotel.
Her outing comes just as it was revealed by DailyMail.com that Katy ignored pleas from her team to not reconnect with Dr. Luke for her musical comeback.
It sparked furious tensions ahead of the release of her new album – which features the ’empowering’ upcoming single Woman’s World.
The music producer, 50, was embroiled in a highly publicized legal battle against Kesha, 37, in which he was accused of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, with Kesha alleging that Katy was also a victim – something she denied.
Now, one year after the pair settled, Dr. Luke, whose real name is Łukasz Gottwald, has been listed as a co-producer on her upcoming single, prompting fury from fans who questioned how she can reconnect with the songwriter to promote female empowerment.
Insiders have exclusively told DailyMail.com Katy was advised against working with Dr. Luke, who together with Swedish songwriter Max Martin, previously produced some of her biggest tracks, but she refused to listen.
A source said: ‘So many fans are already turning on Katy before she’s even released new music because Dr. Luke worked on this album with her.
‘She is trying to promote it on female empowerment – but working with Dr. Luke screams the opposite.

‘She was advised against working with him and was also advised to tone down the sex appeal – but she is ramping it up. She is listening to no one about how to promote the album, market it, etc.’
The source claimed Katy’s motivation for releasing a new album now was for a ‘paycheck’ after bowing out of American Idol in May and selling her back catalog to Litmus Music for $255 million in 2023.
They continued: ‘All of this comes after she sold her entire catalogue for money. This album isn’t about her showing how she is growing as an artist or her ‘new era’ – it’s about a paycheck now that she’s done with American Idol.’
Kesha and Dr. Luke were locked in a bitter legal battle for nearly a decade from 2014 after she accused him of drugging and raping her back in 2005.
In 2016, she also publicly accused him of raping Katy.
The Grammy-winning producer fired back with a defamation lawsuit of his own, claiming the Tik Tok singer defamed him with her false claims, when she said in a text to Lady Gaga that Dr. Luke raped Katy.
Katy denied that Dr. Luke raped her in a deposition and a New York state judge ruled against Kesha in 2020 saying she had defamed her former producer with the claim, and an appeals court upheld that decision in 2021.
Katy was among the litany of musicians, including Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, Adam Levine and Taio Cruz, who gave testimony or sworn statements related to the case.
