Blue Origin's all-women crew redefines fashion in zero-G: The story behind their glamorous custom space suits

Send Push
When Lauren Sánchez boarded the Blue Origin spacecraft for her historic suborbital flight, she didn’t just defy gravity—she redefined fashion in space. In a stunning blend of form and function, Sánchez, accompanied by an all-women crew that included pop icon Katy Perry, journalist Gayle King, rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, activist Amanda Nguyen, and producer Kerianne Flynn, made headlines not only for venturing beyond Earth’s atmosphere but for doing so in jaw-droppingly stylish custom suits.

Forget the bulky, gender-neutral gear of past missions—this was a style revolution. Designed by fashion duo Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim of Monse, the electric-blue jumpsuits were sleek, body-hugging, and made from flame-resistant stretch neoprene. With tailored compression layers, zippered flares, and futuristic belts, the look balanced aerospace practicality with couture edge. “Flattering and sexy,” Garcia noted, comparing the vibe to motocross gear meets high-slope ski chic. Sánchez summed it up best: “Elegant—but they also bring a little spice to space.”

The Fashion Mission Was Clear: No Frump in Zero-G
The Blue Origin glam squad took their prep seriously. According to a report from Page Six, each astronaut’s body was 3-D scanned for a perfect fit, and undergarment choices were given the same level of attention. When asked about the space-approved underwear, Sánchez didn’t hesitate—“Skims!” she declared, giving a shoutout to longtime friend Kim Kardashian’s brand.

And the glam? Oh, it was full-throttle. “Who wouldn’t get glam before the flight?” Sánchez laughed in an interview with Elle. Perry chimed in with her signature sass: “We are going to put the ‘ass’ in astronaut.” Even lash extensions got a shoutout. “We’re going to have lash extensions flying in the capsule!” Sánchez joked.

Bezos’s Fall from Grace (Literally)
Back on solid ground, Jeff Bezos was riding high—until he wasn’t. The Amazon founder was so eager to embrace his fiancée after the safe return that he stumbled into a ditch, face-planting dramatically during the live broadcast. Always the billionaire, he recovered in push-up position, popping back up just in time for the cameras. Social media, of course, had a field day. “Bezos was so excited to hug his fiancée post-landing, he tripped and hit the ground. Billionaire moves—grace not included,” quipped one user on X. Another added, “That’s why he sent the women first.”

Still, Bezos’s pride was evident. Moments before liftoff, he had offered heartfelt words to the crew: “I’m so excited for you. I don’t want to get off. I want to go with you. When you get back, I can’t wait to hear how it’s changed you. I love all of you. See you soon. Godspeed.”


A Star-Studded Launch for a Historic Moment
The event wasn’t just a space mission—it was a spectacle. Among those cheering from the launch site were Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Oprah Winfrey, and even Perry’s four-year-old daughter, Daisy Bloom. As the capsule soared skyward, so did a new era—one where women lead the mission and do it in style.

With just 11 minutes of flight time, the Blue Origin NS-31 may have been short, but its impact was stratospheric. From the customized suits to the makeup kits packed for microgravity, this journey was about more than breaking the space ceiling. It was about proving that women can reach for the stars—and look fabulous doing it.
