Fall has arrived early for Katy Perry, who appeared on SiriusXM on Monday to promote her upcoming album “143,” out Sept. 20. The “Woman’s World” artist sported a crinkled leather set by Knwls, which consisted of a motorcycle jacket and matching knee-length shorts featuring a zip-up closure. She also added on a brown corset top with mesh paneling by the London-based label, completing her look with a pair of snakeskin peep-toe mules.

The color brown is poised for popularity this autumn, with labels like Loewe, Saint Laurent and Miu Miu sending shades of sepia and umber down the runway during their fall 2024 presentations.

Perry wore her dark tresses in waves, while her makeup consisted of rosy blush and a matte mauve lip.

Since 2021, the singer has worked with stylist Tatiana Waterford, who has dressed her on “American Idol” and at red carpet events like the Breakthrough Prize ceremony, which took place in April.

Last month, Perry stepped out in London wearing a graphic Balenciaga T-shirt dress. She accessorized with a pair of the label’s Bossy Mask sunglasses and BB Soft Hobo handbag. Perry completed her look with layered silver bracelets and towering platform boots.

The title of Perry’s new album references her symbolic “angel” number.

“A couple years ago, we were going through a little bit of a hard time medically in our family, and it was a little bit scary, and I started seeing 143 in many different ways,” Perry told Zane Lowe on Apple Music. “It was trippy, almost. I looked it up, and it’s code for ‘I love you.’ I really believe it was my angels, my guides, saying, ‘I love you. We got you. We’re going to protect you. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be. You’re on the path.”
