Yay or Nay? Katy Perry Wears Pink Giambattista Valli

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday October 24, 201153 comments


If Katy Perry was attempting to resemble a pink popsicle, she succeeded. Normally, I'm a fan of the monochromatic look: I'll match my manicure or make up to my outfit when the situation calls for it. Going tonal in a single colour family looks chic and put together... but Katy Perry's version is a bit wide off the mark. 


Matching your hair perfectly to your outfit? Too kitschy for me. Adding a stark contrast with black tights and shoes really throws me off. Finally, there is the issue of the dome shaped capelet.  On the runway, this might work: with the added pink jacket (right), the dress doesn't look so out of place. Alone though (left), it just looks a little too 'star trek high fashion' in my opinion. 

I usually love Katy Perry and her crazy fashion risks but this one I am not feeling. One part I do like is her bubblegum beehive- I think with any other outfit this would be a fun and quirky hair style. 

What do you think? Should we celebrate her brazenness or ask her to please change her outfit? Is this a Yay or a Nay?

I would have to say nay this time to Katy Perry's outfit. I love how brave and unique her style i but this time the hair and the clothes did not go together. I believe that if she had used her unique hair style with another outfit it would've been a hit!

Nay for this one, it doesn't compliment any part of her no matter how you look at it.

Would have been a yay if not for the roots and sheer stockings.

Katy Perry is a beautiful young woman and I normally like her taste in clothes.
I like the pink dress and thought it looked cute on her....she kept it quite short which made it look youthful. The pink coat was another story....it looked like something someone's grandmother would wear and totally aged Katy along with the updo which also made her look older!

Come on Katy....I know you can do much better!
