Dress Katy Competition entry by Chiu Wing-tung
We asked our readers to come up with a costume design for Katy to wear in concert and here is one of the entries. It has not been edited
This latex fabric outfit is inspired by Katy’s authentic personality and thoughts. Each detail revealed a part of her true self, Katheryn Hudson, who is someone that Katy was trying to discover over the recent years.
The spikes on the sleeves showed how Katy is a strong, empowering, and brave woman. She’s not afraid of using her voice to share her ideas. She can be wrong sometimes, but she’s willing to admit it and learn from it.
The selection of colors and the overall shape of this outfit reveals her creative and adventurous side. She’s always there to try new things, nothing can be too wild for her. The gold collars and cuffs, along with the neon laces really catches the attention of fans.
The hat is worn like straw hats, except it is designed in an eye shape. Both the hat and the belt buckle express the main message of Witness: Making Connections. Katy hopes that her fans can witness her journey, like how she would witness us grow and learn every day.
Most importantly, the net-shaped underlayer reveals that Katy is just like us. She has her own insecurities, and she cares about what people think about her. She’s constantly strangled by hate and criticisms in these few years however, just like being trapped and wrapped by strings.
Overall, this outfit is not only attractive in concerts but it also shows the true side of Katy Perry that we don’t notice often
