Katy Perry Elevates Balenciaga Look With Towering Vivienne Westwood Platform Boots – Here’s Why They’re the Latest Y2K Trend

How Reebok Is Channeling Y2K Nostalgia in Its Newest Footwear and Apparel Collaboration With Juicy Couture

Katy Perry made a stylish appearance for her Capital Breakfast Radio interview in London on Thursday, turning heads with her fashion-forward ensemble. While her Balenciaga outfit showcased a unique blend of modern and vintage elements, it was her choice of footwear that stood new heights.

Perry opted for a pair of striking black pair of Vivienne Westwood knee-high platform boots from the brand’s Fall-Winter 2024/2025 collection that perfectly complemented her edgy look. These boots, featuring a dramatic chunky heel and pointed toe, are a nod to the early 2000s fashion trends, which have been making a significant comeback in recent years. The Y2K-inspired design of the boots adds a nostalgic touch, aligning with the current resurgence of early 2000s styles in both streetwear and high fashion.

These platform boots are a favorite among celebrities and stylists alike for their versatility and bold aesthetic. The style, originally popular in the late 90s and early 2000s, is known for its ability to add an element of drama to any outfit. Brands like Jeffrey Campbell , Gucci, and Steve Madden have been at the forefront of reintroducing these statement shoes.

The resurgence of platform boots can be attributed to the broader revival of Y2K fashion, which includes everything from low-rise jeans to neon colors and bold accessories. This trend is characterized by its playful and experimental nature, encouraging fashion enthusiasts to mix and match different styles to create unique looks.

This isn’t the first time the “Dark Horse” singer has stepped out in a look inspired by the early aughts. For the release of her first single and accompanying music video from her upcoming album “143.” In the “Woman’s World” video, which debuted July 11, Perry sings of female empowerment while she and her backup dancers revive the heeled Timberlands of the 2000s.
