Katy Perry reunited with her friend Lauren Sánchez at Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday, July 9. The “Woman's World” singer, 40, paired clear sunglasses with a sleek black minidress and arched heels as she arrived in Paris’ 7th arrondissement for noted fashion designer Demna’s final couture show for Balenciaga before he moves to Gucci.

Whispers point to events spread across the lagoon city, adding complexity to what would have been a massive logistical undertaking even on dry land.
