Katy Perry

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, more commonly know by her stage name Katy Perry was born in Santa Barbara, California. She was brought up listening to gospel music whic played a big part in the start of her career in 2001 when she released a self titled gospel album as Katy Hudson which failed with the closing of her record label later that year. In 2007 she signed to her fourth record label in seven years and adopted the stage name Katy Perry. She released her first internet single 'Ur So Gay' which got attention but didn't chart. When Perry released her first mainstream album 'One of the Boys' in 2008 she adopted a 50's pin up style, using bright colours and vintage fasion.

Katy Perry is known for her bold and unconventional style choices. She gained lots of attention at the 2008 VMA's when she wore banana themed playsuit. Her dress sense is ofter humerous and she frequently wears fruit themed costumes which have inluded: cherries, banana's and watermelons. She defines her fasion sense as 'a bit of a concoction of  different things. At the MTV Europe awards Katy bagged even more attention when she had 10 outfit changes throughout the show. These outfits included; an american football kit where she stood on top of a cherry chapstick; a blue owl dress; a carousel dress and many more. Katy never fails to give her audience something new and with the release of her 'Teenage Dream' album this year which reached #1 in the 'Billboard Hot 100' and is based on candy i'm sure there will be a lot more outrageous outfits on the way.

Although Perry's stage clothing is headline hitting, fun, and interesting. Outside of work she keeps it low key and comfortable. She adopts a more understated retro look, whilst staying on trend by wearing a black fedora which was one of this summer's biggest trends.
