Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez Vow to Go Glam on Historic Blue Origin Trip: “Going to Put the ‘ass’ in Astronaut”
Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez are committed to wearing glam that’s out of this world. The “E.T.” singer, 40, and philanthropist, 55, are getting ready to blast off into space on April 14 with “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King, former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn. Not only does their Blue Origin’s NS-31 space flight mark the first all-women crew since Russian astronaut Valentina Tereshkova’s solo trip in 1963 — but it will also be the first time anyone has ever journeyed to space in full glam.
“Who would not get glam before the flight?!” Sánchez quipped during the crew’s chat with Elle. Perry chimed in, sharing, “Space is going to finally be glam.” “Let me tell you something. If I could take glam up with me, I would do that,” the musician continued. “We are going to put the ‘ass’ in astronaut.”
Even Bowe has thoroughly considered her flight-day look: “I also wanted to test out my hair and make sure that it was okay,” she said. “So I skydived in Dubai with similar hair to make sure I would be good—took it for a dry run.”

The Significance of Self-Expression in Breaking Stereotypes
Women are multitudes. I’m going to be wearing lipstick.
Jokes aside, when it comes to being one of the most diverse groups of women to ever go to space at once, rocking a smokey eye and fresh blow out runs much deeper than looking good while floating amongst the stars. “I think it’s so important for people to see us like that,” said Nguyen. “This dichotomy of engineer and scientist, and then beauty and fashion. We contain multitudes.”
Lauren Sánchez’s Fashionable Ventures
That is one pricey cup o’ Joe! Lauren Sánchez, who is getting ready to marry billionaire Jeff Bezos, stepped out carrying a $5,750 Balenciaga handbag shaped like a to-go coffee cup. The purse, cleverly called the 9 AM Clutch, is a replica of the fashion house’s white porcelain coffee cup ($125) designed to resemble those made of paper and plastic.
The leather clutch is made of calfskin and measures 7.3 inches by 4.3 inches. The Balenciaga Paris logo is debossed on the front of the clutch, which opens and closes via a hinge closure system with a snap button. Sánchez — who was photographed leaving a meeting in Studio City, Calif., Wednesday — smiled as she flashed her unique accessory.
Katy Perry’s Fashionable World
At just 19 months old, Daisy Dove Bloom is already shaping up to be a fashion plate like her famous mom. “Today I put her in a gingham dress, and she loves coming out and presenting it. And everyone obviously has a reaction, and she loves the reaction,” Katy Perry tells Page Six Style exclusively of her baby daughter, whom she welcomed with fiancé Orlando Bloom in 2020.
The “When I’m Gone” hitmaker founded her footwear line, Katy Perry Collections, in 2017 as a joint venture with Global Brands Group; after buying it back in 2021, she relaunched her company Tuesday with a new spring collection. “[I wanted to] not have any anyone saying, ‘Oh, you know, not sure that that shoe is going to be what people want.’ People aren’t really sure what they want until they get it sometimes,” Perry tells Page Six Style of buying back her shoe brand.
And design nods to her little girl abound; a yet-to-be-released thong sandal features a beaded anklet with a daisy motif, while a woven slide ($89) is adorned with the same familiar floral motif. “She’s my everything muse. She’s my whole heart. I’m just so grateful; she is really my gift,” Perry gushes of Daisy, adding that while she’s “dabbled” in designing baby shoes in the past, she’d love to launch a line for little ones “for real.”
Fans of Perry’s footwear creations can also shop new versions of her signature “Geli” sandals ($59), this time decorated with everything from gold seashells to tiny bananas at the toes. “I’m really proud of how many inanimate objects we’ve put on a jelly,” Perry jokes.
Often, the inspiration for new pairs stems from the pop star’s music; she’s currently working on a version topped with red mushrooms as a nod to one of the standout looks from her Las Vegas residency, “Play.” The challenge? Every pair of “Gelis” is scented to mirror its motif. “We tried to make it a truffle smell, and it did not turn out OK,” she recalls.
She’d likely have even more trouble making shoes to match the much-discussed dancing poop that pops out of a giant toilet during her Sin City shows; “If I do a poo shoe, it’s not going to smell like s—t,” Perry promises.
