Katy Perry Teams Up with Hello Kitty for a New Footwear Capsule

— August 22, 2024 — Fashion
Katy Perry is partnering with the iconic cartoon character Hello Kitty to launch a new shoe collaboration. The Katy Perry x Hello Kitty collaboration has brought about a new pair of sparkly, bedazzled ballet flats for consumers in search of a statement footwear piece. The collection has also resulted in three additional footwear styles that merge the glitz and glam of Perry's lifestyle with the adorable aesthetics of Hello Kitty.

One pair mimics a classic heel but with Hello Kitty's classic white coloring and red bow, while the other two pairs feature gems and the cat's 3D-rendered head as the heel.

The new Hello Kitty collection can be purchased on the Katy Perry website, and styles cost over €100.
