Katy Perry [1] was made for Barbiecore [2]. The "Where We Started [3]" singer showed her dedication to the fashion trend in a hot-pink latex dress and matching puffer jacket at the True Colours Festival in Tokyo on 20 Nov. Perry's coordinating neon separates hail from a Parisian latex atelier called Avellano [4]. While the brand specialises in custom pieces, her look was ready to wear right after debuting on the spring 2023 runways.
Perry's floor-length neon gown was tight around the top and got progressively looser toward the bottom. While the silhouette dress hugged Perry's form, the puffer coat added a layer of whimsy, volume, and, of course, warmth. The outerwear featured silver buttons down the front, along with a few long dart-like studs that can be opened and closed to inflate or deflate the jacket.
As usual, the pop star tapped celebrity stylist Tatiana Waterford [5] to assemble her performance look. You might recognise Waterford's work from Perry's trifecta of denim outfits [6] at the CMAs, her Y2k-approved lace-up trousers and corset top [7] on "American Idol," or her silicone dress [8] in the "When I'm Gone" music video.
Perry's entire team worked in peak form to complete her look. To round out the pink matching set, celebrity hairstylist Rick Henry [9] styled Perry's hair in half-up space buns, and makeup artist Michael Anthony [10] swiped on neon winged eyeliner that matched the hue of her outfit.
