Katy Perry performs on the DirecTV Super Bowl Event on February 4, 2012

Katy Perry performed yesterday at the DirecTV Super Bowl Event in a blue and red football-themed outfit. She wore Ash’s “Thelma” Buckle Wedge Sneakers which have a red and blue trim along the sole. These shoes are available for $160.00 at Bloomingdales, Jildor, ShopBop, Victoria’s Secret, or ASOS. Her jersey top is split into red and blue halves, and she wore mismatched Stripe Knee-High Socks from American Apparel ($10.00) with red and blue athletic stripes.

Katy Perry’s red glitter platform pumps are the Bordello by Pleaser Women’s Teeze-31G Pump, available for $99.95 at Endless.com and other stores.

Her bra and shorts are custom pieces by Syren Latex, who make all of Katy’s latex outfits. They call this futuristic look the “Judy Jetson dress.” The bottoms are similar to their Frilled Latex Pia Panty ($124.00).

Though Katy appears covered by Photoshopped fake tattoos, she does have some ink of her own. Check out our Katy Perry tattoo page for pictures of her tattoos.

I don’t post about Katy Perry’s clothes as much as I used to because her style has gotten totally absurd. It’s not easy to find and not easy for anyone buy Katy to pull off. But every now and then I find that even the craziest of outfits are being imitated. Take for example this snowman dress. Etsy seller coyotepeyote has dropped the bubble skirt and pop-pom buttons to create a more casual and wearable Frosty The Snowman Holiday Dress ($95.00). It’s still fun and playful, but much less of a costume.

Katy’s wood grain fingerless gloves remind me of the Wolford Wilderness Tights ($23.80 and up), another more toned-down way to get Katy’s look.

Katy Perry's ever-changing hair color

Katy Perry has dyed her hair bright pink! She has been wearing colorful wigs throughout the Teenage Dream album cycle, but this is the first time that she has dyed her own hair a bright shade. Katy is a natural blonde but has dyed her hair black for years.

Those years of dyeing made the transition from black to pink a bit messy — she first attempted the dye job in mid-June, but tweeted that she couldn’t get the color done in one go and would have to be ginger for 3 weeks before trying again in order to avoid damaging her hair. She continued the process last week, showing off a much lighter yellow-blonde shade at the movie premier of “The Smurfs” on July 24th. Now more than a month since the redhead phase began, we can finally we can see the finished product.

I like all of her fun wigs, but I wonder why she chose to make this one permanent, especially since blue has been her go-to wig. Personally I think that black hair suits her best and allows her to pull off wearing heavy colorful makeup, while I can only envision the ginger shade with more natural looks. I’m curious to see what sorts of makeup she’ll try with her new pink color!

Leg Avenue

For a photo in her Rolling Stone cover article, Katy Perry wore Leg Avenue’s Striped Fishnet Mini Dress, which sells for around $16.00. She’s tucked it into a hot pink and black leather-look mini skirt. With chunky plastic earrings and colorful sunglasses, this neon 80′s look would fit in with her “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” music video – but thankfully she’s dropped the braces and perm!

She showed off her new hair in a bikini from Australian brand Seafolly. She is wearing the Bustier Bra and Reversible Mini Hipster Pant from their “Boudoir” collection of mix-and-match separates.

Katy’s red jacket and skirt outfit comes from the same Dior collection. It looks very victorian from the angle which Katy is photographed, but fresh and modern from the front.

This last outfit is again from the same collection. The flowy gray jacket, fuschia skirt, white belt, and gloves were all shown together, but the headpiece was shown with a different look.
