Katy Perry Surprises Us at the American Music Awards

Perry was a pretty girl in pink at the American Music Awards 2010 at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. She had been up for multiple awards including Favorite Female Artist: Pop or Rock, Favorite Album: Pop or Rock as well as the coveted Artist of the Year award. Although she went to the after-party empty-handed she did win the thumbsup from fashion critics and fans who adored her pale pink Badgley Mischka Couture dress which was covered in mini rosettes.

Katy always loves to surprise us with her diverse and sometimes whimsical fashion takes on the red carpet which are quite hard to forget (remember how she arrived to the MTV Europe Music Awards, recently, dressed literally as a ticket stub?). But at the AMAs the voluptuous crooner showed off her enviable figure in the relatively demure but sexy sequined pink number, paired perfectly with nude suede Brian Atwood heels.

The question is when you’re wearing a sequined shimmery dress, should you or shouldn’t you accessorize it further with bling? The answer lies in subtlety. Yes you can go the extra mile with some sparkly jewelry but make sure it aint over the top. Katy chose drop earrings featuring a lovely light pinkish purple shade of stones to draw more attention to her face. A delicate 18 karat white gold bracelet with white diamonds, adorned her wrist and oh boy was she having a major fling with her rings. Holler!

She was all smiles as she showed off her gold wedding band ring, a Looping Shine ring in white and pink gold with diamonds and crystal from Brumani as well as another adorable ring comprising layers of mini pink stones. Instead of seeming like she was overloaded on jewelry, the pieces added just enough sparkle to accentuate her dazzling dress. Better hold on to your girl, Russel…coz Katy’s sure got the goods!

Katy Perry's Multiple Personality Disorder

Katy Perry has schizophrenia. OK, before I go into the details, let’s go through the categories of celebs that that turn up at a red carpet event. To sum it up, there are three types of people who turn up. A) The “I don’t have much going on with my career so doing this would be good for my image” group. B) The “Uh, I got an invitation, so where’s the party?” group. And C) The “What can I do to make people’s eyes go POP” group. Well it can be confirmed that Katy Perry clearly belongs to the third tier.

Last year at the MTV Europe Music Awards, she turned up with a bullet, not in her head but in her hem, her dress’ hem that is (scroll down to see what it looked like). It would have made a perfect “corpse bride” costume during Halloween but not MTV Awards material. This year, she stepped up a cheerful notch with a much more lighthearted style but with interesting undertones, as expected. The newly married Mrs. Russell Brand came to the awards function along with her hubby in Madrid, Spain, dressed up as an old school ticket stub with a lot of pun intended.

It was a red and black sequined dress with “Admit One” streamed down the front from the Jeremy Scott Fall collection which she paired with bright blue Sergio Rossi heels. With a single high ponytail and stud ruby earrings, I’ve got to admit that the burlesque look did seem cute, sexy & quite MTV-worthy I should say, almost like an adrenaline-charged teenager attending a Katy Perry concert!

Three things can be learned from the frolicked fashionista’s fashion approach. No. 1: Who said bright block colors don’t go well together? Check out her blue heel-red dress combo y’all! No. 2: Those ruby studs made Mamma proud *happy tear*. They were not too much, nor too little and gave shorty just the right amount of shimmer. No. 3: Be it onstage, on screen or off-screen, Katy Perry sure knows how to stay in character!

Coming back to the schizophrenia thing, she said so herself in the December issue of Harper’s Bazaar. Quote: “I have multipersonality disorder - in a very good way, of course - when it comes to my fashion choices.” Well that does explain the bullet hole dress a little dear. But let’s owe it Katy to give any event the crazy element of larger-than life fun J
