Why It Works: Katy Perry in Paris
Our sympathies, of course, withdraw to Mr. and Mrs. "Kissed a Girl" on the occasion of their marital separation, however we have a tendency to can’t facilitate however notice that Katy Perry’s recent searching outing to Parisian concept store L’Eclaireur saw her trying ever thus “divorcée stylish.”
The hair: Yes, that's still a shock of cobalt you spy in Perry’s mane, however slicked back to a face-liftingly tight bun, the shade appearance less teeny bopper experimental and a lot of fashion forward refined—subtle even. return to consider it, there's somewhat little bit of Debbie Mazar to the present ‘do, and whereas we have a tendency to never thought we’d go Mazar during this house, it’s happened, and we’re not sorry. Accented with an outsized, stylized defy wayfarer sunglasses, Perry’s vibe is Robert Palmer background singer gone woman who lunches.
The coat: A knee-length slate grey wool range, Perry’s buttonless coat strikes a Helmut Lang–approved minimal note, whereas giving a window on the neon excitement that's her yellow snakeskin print belted shirt.
For someone with a demonstrated weakness for cupcake bras and carousels-as-dresses, the sharply paired nature of the design is, well, reasonably stunning. The boots may be somewhat workman for our style, however it had been raining, thus we’ll permit it.
The necklace: Tribal and exotic in an “Oh this? I simply stole it from the Antiquities wing of the Louvre” reasonably means. we have a tendency to love the visual weight of the accent, its graduated spectrum of silver shades and its interplay with Perry’s Indian-inspired earring menagerie. She could have danced on tabletops and took too several shots last Friday night, however Perry’s grown-up look in the week leaves the teenage dream within the mud.
