Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez, Gayle King, and the fellow female pioneers of the Blue Origin crew are flaunting their sleek, new spacesuits with palpable excitement. The Daily Mail has dubbed these attire "sexy," an adjective that seems far from accidental. "Let's revolutionize the flight suit," Sanchez, fiancée of billionaire Jeff Bezos, boldly declared to The New York Times. "Traditionally, these suits are crafted for men and then adjusted to fit women. But it's time for a change." She further enthused to The Times, "I find these suits exquisitely elegant, yet they infuse a hint of intrigue into the vast expanse of space."
According to The Times, Sánchez collaborated with Monse to reimagine the Blue Origin flight suits, keeping the all-female launch forefront in mind. The historic journey into space is scheduled for the morning of April 14, 2025.
Sanchez, on her Instagram, posted a heartfelt video capturing the women donning their snug, azure spacesuits, which reveal a chic black tank-top underneath. She accompanied the post with the caption, "Hard to fathom that tomorrow, this remarkable feat of innovation will propel us beyond the Kármán line. As a crew, we took a moment to pay homage to our rocket and express our profound gratitude. A huge shoutout to the entire @blueorigin team for making this dream a reality."
Sanchez shared another video highlighting the suits' elegance, while King echoed the excitement on her Instagram page with a video showcasing the space suits. King penned, "Yesterday, I finally laid eyes on the @blueorigin space suit for the very first time—it's surreal! A round of applause to @laurenwsanchez and @monsemaison for crafting a suit that flatters everyone! As Katy Perry so aptly put it: 'Functional, fashionable, and fiery!'"
Perry echoed similar sentiments, posting a comparable photo with the caption, "Celebrating International Day of Human Space Flight with boundless awe for the universe and its harmony. Forever in reverence of our cosmic alignment."
