Katy Perry turns heads in a plunging LBD as she supports Selena Gomez at her annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit
Katy Perry turned heads in a plunging little black dress as she attended the Rare Impact Fund Benefit held at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The singer, 41, looked gorgeous as she stepped out to support host and founder Selena Gomez, 34, at the fourth annual event.
Katy dared to bare as she went braless beneath her cut-out black number which had cream bow detailing down the front.

Selena launched Rare Beauty, her first-ever makeup and beauty line, back in 2020 just months after introducing the Rare Impact Fund, which is aiming to raise $100million over a decade in support of mental health advocacy and services.
Over the last six years, the Rare Impact Fund has raised a reported total of $30million.
Selena has publicly battled her own mental health issues, having been diagnosed with bipolar disorder – a condition that causes extreme mood shifts – in 2018.
She did not go public with her diagnosis until 2020 and has since used her platform to combat the shame that’s often experienced by those struggling with mental illness.
The Calm Down singer had earlier hit the pink carpet in a showstopping red jeweled gown as she arrived to her event, before later changing into an embellished champagne number.
The strapless frock had a corset-style bodice that showed off Gomez’s tiny waist and a curve-clinging skirt that stopped just above her ankles.
She stood on tall red heels while accessorizing with diamond earrings and the $225,000 engagement ring her now-husband Benny, 38, gave her in 2024.
Selena, who married Blanco in a star-studded Santa Barbara ceremony last year, wore her raven tresses in sleek curls that tumbled down her back.
Katy’s appearance comes after she put on a loved-up display with boyfriend Justin Trudeau at the Narrative Art Museum opening gala last month.
The couple, who vacationed in Europe this summer, exchanged romantic glances, held hands, and giggled while posing together throughout the evening.
Katy and Justin, who have been dating for more than a year, made their red carpet debut at the 25th Annual Tribeca Festival in June, attending the premiere of the concert film Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris.
The Hot ‘N’ Cold hitmaker mentioned her relationship at the event, telling People she is ‘very in love.’
She said at the time: ‘I feel like a more grounded person in so many aspects of my life.
I am very in love. And actually, that [Paris] show was after I met the love of my life and so I felt very anchored by that because I’m a little bit like a rainbow kite.’
