so katy perry has had her bug-eyed face all over the tabloids for a few good months now despite having now talent and looking like an injured baby bird onstage. i would completely dismiss her as a one-hit wonder who wears wayyy too much make-up and tries wayyyy to hard, but there is one thing about her that i'm interested in: her wardrobe. sometimes it's pretty bad, but sometimes it's pretty good. i think a lot of the things she wears are really different to what other celebs are going for at the moment, which gets points, and also everything is very kitch, which i am into. i feel like her biggest fashion faux paus is not knowing how to pull off a good piece, i.e. she over accessorizes a lot.
here is an example:
this dress is amazing. it's a flattering cut and quirky and interesting by itself (the detail of the playing cards in the belt, maybe beaded? is nice). there is no need for cheap dice-jewelry or a playing card headband! they take away from the dress and make it look like a costume or a gimmick
But like all celebs, most of this is the work of a stylist. his name is Johnny Wujek. I looked at his website and everything is pretty vanity fair classy, surprising considering how niche katy's styling is.
here are some outfits:
ehhhh... you are over doing it again.
i would wear this everyday.
v. classy.
oh my.
