Is there a dress code for space? The six women passengers aboard the “historic” Blue Origin launch on April 14 weren’t taking any chances.
The crew, which included singer Katy Perry, broadcast journalist Gayle King, broadcast journalist Lauren Sánchez, entrepreneur and activist Amanda Nguyen, aerospace engineer and former NASA scientist Aisha Bowe, and film producer Kerianne Flynn, made good on their commitment to arrive in full glam ahead of lift off at 9:30 a.m. ET, sharing their looks on Instagram ahead of the 11-minute voyage.
All six women had blow-outs for the flight and were dressed in matching Blue Origin–branded jumpsuits that were cinched at the waist and included the option for a slight flare leg thanks to a slim zipper. The skintight suits were made for the voyage by the fashion brand Monse, which took a 3D scan of each passenger’s body for the perfect fit.
Per The New York Times, Sánchez began collaborating with Monse founders and designers Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim on the suit back in 2024. “Simplicity was important, and comfort, and fit,” Garcia said. “But we also wanted something that was a little dangerous, like a motocross outfit. Or a ski suit. Flattering and sexy.”
Added Kim, “I, personally, would want to look very slim and fitted in my outfit.”
And in case you were wondering, Sánchez said that her underwear for the flight would be Skims—the brand owned by her friend Kim Kardashian. (While Kim did not attend the launch, both mom Kris Jenner and sister Khloé Kardashian were in West Texas to watch Sánchez’s ascent.)
In a cover interview for Elle, Perry said that “space is going to finally be glam” once she and the rest of the Taking Up Space crew crossed the Kármán line, roughly 62 miles above Earth’s atmosphere, into space.
