Ever since Katy Perry hit the music scene, her quirky fashion has brought her to the centre of attention. Her unconventional style includes fashion from a variety of decades, and is bursting with colour. Popular additions to her outfits are fruit or food accessories, which can take the form of watermelon earrings or sparkly cupcake bags.
‘Katy Perry is squatting over a big duffel bag, rifling through printed dresses, retro rompers, hats, turquoise suede heels and other anti-wallflower accessories, deciding what to wear for the second take of her photo shoot. She holds up a red straw hat with a brim the size of a truck tire, then fishes out a beaded red purse shaped like an apple. “See”’ Perry says, her huge blue eyes widening. “I love anything fruit.”’ – Los Angeles Times
The singer, probably most famous for addictive chart topper ‘I Kissed a Girl’, sported an outstanding amount of different looks throughout the evening. Every outfit was the epitome of Katy Perry, just as eclectic as the singer-songwriter herself.
Her premiere outfit that night was a relatively normal frilly pink dress, with matching pink court shoes. But then things got more interesting. A ‘Jekyll and Hyde-esque’ tux meets prom dress ensemble referencing her video for ‘Hot and Cold’ was one of the highlights of the night.
Probably the most interesting of the bunch was a colourful sequin dress from Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s Spring 2009 collection. The dress featured the new president elect, Barack Obama, captivating the audience with a sequined smile. When Katy turned around we were faced with the slogan ‘I have a dream today’ printed in radiant yellow on a stark black background. In addition to the show-stopping garment, Katy Perry opted for a yellow fingerless glove saying YES!
In addition to the selection of crazy garments, a Manish Arora showed up in the the form of a carousel dress (with fully operational spin action in the skirt) The dress was a rainbow of colour in typical Katy Perry fashion and was accessorized with patent pink shoes.
