2. ABOUT
• Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25,
1984), better known by her stage name Katy
Perry, is an American singer and songwriter.
3. FASHION
• Fashion enthusiasts might find it hard to define
this amazing pop singer’s fashion style. Some
might call it carefree while others might deem it
whimsical. There is generally a fun element to
Perry’s fashion savoir faire, but there is also a
sophistication that underscores Perry’s fabulous
costumes and red carpet get-ups.
• Perry is proving that she is at the top of her game
as a pop star, but she’s also demonstrating with
outfit after outfit that she’s a fashion guru for our
times too!
5. • Perry is all about taking risks, but playful risks.
Her style is captivating because it’s constantly
in motion, always changing and dynamic.
• When she hosted the MTV Europe Music
Awards in Liverpool, eyes were on her chest…
literally. She arrived in a form-fitting cobalt
blue dress with a set of ”eyes” on her bust.
6. 2. Fun
• Katy Perry knows how to make fashion fun!
Her popcorn box skirt and kernel-studded
hem was topped with a reel-to-reel bikini top!
7. 3. Wild
• Perry can frequently be seen flaunting animal prints. She
wears these wild prints with her characteristic
playfulness. Nobody wears a leopard print quite like
Perry!
8. 4. Multi-national
• When Perry dressed in an Asian ensemble with Geisha hair
ornaments in her pink hair to top it off, it was great to see a
star paying homage to the style of other cultures, even ones
that happen to be historical!
9. 5. She’s got spirit
• With the world’s eyes on her, Perry doesn’t hesitate to show her
spiritual side.
• She recently sported a gorgeous pair of cross earrings in her
video “Unconditionally” and isn’t afraid to add a religious note
to her pop star persona.
10. 6. Politically minded
• While sometimes stars will step into the political
fray, no one has done so like Perry in her skin-
tight ballot dress where her vote for President
Obama was clearly marked!
11. 7. She’s bright, she’s neon
• Sporting neon green heels and a tank has all
the makings of a classic Katy Perry look! No
beige or mauve for this girl; give her hot pink!
12. 8. Sweet
• Many of Perry’s costumes reveal a love for sweets, but her
sweeter-than-candy fashion sense is sometimes sweetly
nostalgic too, like when she sported a pink gown a la My Fair
Lady to the “MusiCares Person of the Year Gala” in 2012.
13. 9. A new take on retro
• Katy’s style is evidenced by her ability to revamp a vintage style
accessory.
• Take her platform saddle shoes, for instance; Perry makes an old
style her own by sometimes combining looks from multiple eras
(like 1950 + 1985) to put her own stamp on them
14. 10. She’s sexy
• Perry’s fashions might be over the top like when she
wore a yellow box on her head as a hat, but there’s
no denying that the clothing style reveals a sexy
body that is outrageously fit and fine!
15. 11. Sporty
• When Perry attends a game, so does her sporting style!
She’s been known to show up in wrestling get-ups or
baseball outfits that demonstrate her love of athletics!
16. 12. She’s a femme fatale
• When she’s in the mood, Perry can show her rocker side, her dark
side. It’s hard to believe this bubble gum princess has a dark side,
but when you see her sporting black leather skin tight pants and a
strapless corset, you can’t help but think “temptress.”
17. 13. Crowd pleaser
• Perry knows her fans love to laugh and enjoy her
fashion style. To that end, she’ll happily walk out
in a dress made from Muppet fabric or a sheath
that features a rhinestone Smurfette.
18. 14. Colour wonderful
• Perry is all about rainbow garb. She’s not afraid of
any color combination and will often wear outfits
that somehow include all the colors in the crayon
box!
