The one detail you didn’t notice about Katy Perry’s One Love Manchester dress
It’ll make you cry


It’ll make you cry
Like most of the UK, you probably spent last night watching Ariane Grande’s One Love Manchester concert, in tribute to the victims of the terrorist attack.
To say it was an incredibly emotional and powerful night is an understatement. In-between songs, the 23-year-old tearfully spoke about meeting the victims’ families, and she was joined by Miley Cyrus, Take That, Justin Bieber, Little Mix, Coldplay and Pharell Williams amongst others.
Katy Perry also took to the stage to perform Part of Me and Roar. She wore a white dress teamed with a floor-length feather coat and ankle boots.
What you might have missed though is this poignant detail: the back of her dress was heart-shaped and featured pictures of the victims of the attack.
It was a touching tribute that we’ll be honest, brought tears to our eyes.
That little detail was one of many showing unity and defiance against terrorism, like the fact the evening raised over £2m for the victims.
