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.

I love peter pan collars, and this lacy dress which Christina Perri wore at her London concert is simply adorable! She must have bought it while in the UK because it comes from British brand TFNC. You can buy the TFNC Lace Dress with Peter Pan Collar for £39.00 at House of Fraser.

Ellie Goulding performed a special show at New York City’s JFK Airport wearing Topshop’s Black Spray Printed Leggings (£20.00/$40.00) tucked into rugged combat boots. These leggings have bold splashes of pink, blue, and yellow and Ellie keeps the rest of her look simple with a losse-fitting black top. You can get a similar look with the Dr. Martens Warner Boots ($98.00) and Topshop’s Knitted Tape Pocket Tunic (£40.00/$80.00).

I’ve gotten a few requests to post Ariel For Hire, so here goes. Ariel has a really crazy and fun style, if that wasn’t obvious from her neon hair. She loves hot pink and other bright colors as well as black and white. She’s extremely creative with her style and makes a lot of her own clothes — she actually sells custom pieces through an Etsy store which has tutus for $25.00 and hooded scarves for $38.00.
A typical outfit for her is a reconstructed tee with a tutu or other short skirt worn over ripped jeans. She likes wearing wrist cuffs piled over fingerless gloves. Her footwear choices are combat boots and super-tall high top sneakers.
This look is one that she wore back in 2009, so even though I’ve tracked down some of her exact pieces, it’s unfortunately sold out now. You might recognize her boots as Dr. Martens. They are the 1B99 in Pink Patent Leather and if you’re not a size 11 you can try classic 1460 in hot pink or Ariel’s taller style in Ruby Jewel. You can get slashed up jeans like hers for $75.00 from Current/Elliott, but I recommend you save yourself some cash and cut up a pair of your own.
Her top is a custom piece which she made from sewing Iron Fist’s Wishbone T-shirt together with black, pink, and striped fabrics and cool trims. This exact tee is sold out, but it’s available in other color combos – including hot pink – on Amazon and eBay.
Her exact belt is the Volcom Chester Belt, which is sold out, but you can get another very similar belt from Volcom or other similar belts from LRG and Empyre. Also pictured above are fingerless gloves for $22.00 from Etsy and a pink and black striped top for $14.80 from Forever 21.
Porcelain Black performs during Lil Wayne's I Am Still Music Tour
Porcelain Black owns at least four bras from Marlies Dekkers, known for the creative use of straps as a design element, and she wears them both as tops for performances and under dresses as an extra decorative element. This one is the Beautiful Bat Black Padded Plunge Balcony Bra ($160.00). She typically pairs her bra tops with high-waisted hotpants, but these mega-tall shorts go above her natural waist and almost up to the bra. These Lillian Girdle Shorts are from latex designer Abigail Greydanus, who designed the black and white catsuit that Porcelain wears in her “This Is What Rock N Roll Looks Like” music video as well as many of Katy Perry‘s latex dresses.

Want to get Ellie Goulding’s sparkling blue and black look? Forever 21 sells two more casual pairs: the Sparkling Sequin Shorts (£10.31/$15.80) and Sequin Jogging Shorts (£11.61/$17.80), while ASOS sells the high-waisted and super short Sequin Jersey Knicker Shorts (£25.00/$44.76). Her top – probably a bodysuit – has cut out sides with buckled straps. You can get a similar look with the ASOS Cross Strap Back Body (£20.00/$35.81) or the Black Side Strap Bra Top from Miss Selfridge (£18.00/$32.00).

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.
Natalia Kills live at the Fillmore in Miami, FL on November 5, 2010 by Luciano Guala
Sure, Natalia Kills’ red hot lingerie outfit isn’t exactly appropriate for everyday wear, but her Lip Service Red Vinyl Buckled Waist Cincher ($59.00) could be incorporated into a more tame outfit. Try it with jeans or black pants and a black tank for a more simple, casual look.
If you do want a look like Natalia’s, try Target bra ($12.99), American Apparel hot shorts ($22.00), and Charlotte Russe thigh-high boots ($50.00).
