Stepping it up from her usual fruit-themed costumes, Katy Perry arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala on May 4 in New York City dressed in an electric blue gown. While there were many over the top looks at the costume gala, themed "Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion," I can't quite wrap my mind around Katy's choice of dress. Selecting a strapless Tommy Hilfiger gown with an hourglass shape and a long train (if you love the shade of blue try Smitten's A-line Turtleneck Dress in Blueberry or my personal fav, Prairie NY's Stone Cami Dress in Fountain), Katy channeled Cleopatra with the stiff gold neckline and further emphasized the Egyptian style with the jet black bob and bangs. Katy accented the brilliant turquoise dress with a large gold cuff (like CC Skye's Studio 54 Mesh Cuff), gold peep-toe Christian Louboutins and a pebble-shaped gold clutch. What would a KP ensemble be without some kind of funky purse? I think the dress is very flattering on her curvy figure, and she did take the costume idea and run with it, but I think she somehow missed the mark. It seems everyone has mixed opinions though: MTV put Katy on the Worst Dressed List for the hair, collar and overly bold color, while People landed her on the Best Dressed List for bringing out her eyes with the blue gown, "set off with bold metal jewelry." What is your opinion of Katy's costume pick? One thing that definitely helps: looks like KP picked up a little color last week while vacationing in Barbados with Rihanna and Kelly Clarkson. KP and Kelly C performed at Chum FM's 24th Anniversary Celebration on April 23, and stayed on RiRi's native island for a few days soaking up the sun. There's never a bad time for catching up with the girls!
