We’re convinced Katy Perry was doused with fairy dust when she was born. Her quirky style is littered with cartoon-inspired ensembles and pop-culture references (her patchwork denim dress à la Britney Spears comes to mind). Even when she wears a sombre gown, our daughter adds a touch of whimsy with a pastel dye job or a whimsical accessory. In the end, Perry isn’t scared to flaunt her individuality.

When it comes to fashion, Katy Perry is anything but a wallflower. She is constantly drawing eyes and turning heads, whether she is wearing bright hair or retro splendour.

Perry’s style is always surprising, whether she’s sashaying a wearable chandelier up the Met Gala stairs or posing in an elegant curve-hugging gown. In honour of her fashion bravery, we’ve compiled a list of her most outrageous, personality-defining looks that indicate she’s a unicorn.

The 2009 Grammys

Katy wore a pale pink Basil Soda gown with a waistline that was rippling in 2009. We think she looks like everyone’s teenage dream, especially with the baby pink lip and old Hollywood haircut.

The 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards were held in London, United Kingdom.

In a form-fitting Marchesa mermaid gown with sheer black rose embellishment over one shoulder, the singer showed off her curves. She didn’t stay in the dress for long, though; she had 11 more outrageous ensembles prepared for her performance that night.

Grammy Awards 2010

“Why is Katy Perry sporting a bindi?” we’d normally ask. But, to be honest, she’s capable of accomplishing anything she sets her mind to. Nobody can doubt her style choices in this long-sleeve nude Zac Posen dress with a stunning open back.

The 2010 Vanity Fair Oscars Party

Okay, her boobs are incredible. It was unavoidable. In this Zuhair Murad couture red-and-nude striped dress, the adventurous singer looks magnificent. The print is unexpectedly flattering on her, and she looks fantastic in it.

The 2011 Grammy Awards

Victoria’s Secret, do you have any openings? Katy Perry flaunted her wings at the 2011 Grammy Awards, flawlessly complementing her Giorgio Armani outfit. Katy attended the Grammy Awards with her 90-year-old grandmother!
