Katy Perry in Elie Saab at ‘The Tempest’ premiere: hot or tacky?

fp_6216249_tempest_premiere_wic_28_40

Last night was a big premiere night in NYC and LA. The stars of The Tempest came out for the big LA premiere. Helen Mirren is the star, but most photos were of Russell Brand and his wife Katy Perry. Is this the first red carpet they’ve walked together as husband and wife? I think it is. Which begs the question: why now? Is Katy jealous of Russell’s relationship with Dame Helen Mirren? Is Katy marking her territory? Could be. Brand made sure to stay away from fondling Dame Helen, and he kept his eyes on his wife. Katy wore Elie Saab – I actually think the dress is really pretty, but Katy has the ability to make even high-fashion couture look trashy, in my opinion. Perhaps it’s that she’s almost always in vinyl, so that when she actually wears a gown, there’s still a hint of rubber. She has a rubber soul, I think.

Here’s Helen Mirren, looking lovely (and lonely without Brand’s love).

And Djimon Hounsou, who is in the film, brought his girlfriend/wife Kimora. I forget if they’re married, and I find the idea too depressing to look up.

And Alan Cumming! He’s wearing Capri pants, of course.

    If Alan is going to wear Capris, shave those legs! (ha ha!)

  2. Samigirl says:

    Katy’s dress is GORGEOUS, but with her boobs, she has to be REALLY careful to not make things look slutty. I have the same problem. Big boobs can make REALLY cute things look super trashy.

  3. bros says:

    youre totally right about katie perry not being able to shake the tacky even in couture. also, are she and emily blunt morphing into one person?

    how freaking great does helen mirren look! perry should take lessons. everyone should.

  4. guesty says:

    tacky. even tho this dress is very…demure.

  5. MechaAlice says:

    I think Katy actually looks really nice here for once. Brand however, looks like he shoots laser beams out of those eyes. I just find him creepy.

  6. Zelda says:

    For the first time EVER I don’t think she looks like a Punky-Brewster-themed stripper.

    Those shoes are hideous, though.

  7. sapphire says:

    Katy looks like she ripped down the hotel curtains for the dress.

    Mirren is a total win-I have such a girl crush on her. Can I be like her when I grow up?

  8. terryo says:

    Katy is super hot!

  9. Sisi says:

    Love Katy’s dress, HATE her shoes. they certainly still look tacky and plastic.

  10. spinner says:

    Helen Mirren has the best face. She is so utterly endearing.

  11. RHONYC says:

    it’s might be a miss…but it looks like it is prettier in person and just photographs poorly.

    dame helen mirren = smashing! i only wish to age so gorgeous!

    kimora = looks better than she has looked in ages! i love her w/ djimon.

    alan cumming = come on! he’s ‘alan cumming’…he can do no wrong. lol 🙂

  12. mln76 says:

    I personally think its her makeup the eyes are way over done for the dress and also although it’s pretty it just doesn’t go with her coloring.
    Helen Mirren is awesome as always.

  13. krissy_kitty says:

    I like Katie’s dress, it looks good on her.. It’s a nice change to see her covered up instead of falling out all over the place. 😉

    Helen Mirren looks absolutely beautiful!

    Djimon and Kimora are soo cute. Just look at how much he is cheesin.. lol

    Alan Cumming is, well, Alan Cumming and I love him for it… 🙂

    Edit: Is that a tattoo on HM hand?! She is one bad bit@h… lmao

  14. MarenGermany says:

    I really dont like Katy Perry. She bothers me in so many ways. She comes across totally selfinvolved, arrogant and bitchy.Her “act” is being a candycovered, airheaded pedophiles dream (at the age of what? 25?), always having this “blow job” expression in her face. Her boobs are always trying to distract from the fact, that the sucks. In her videos she clearly states that she cant act for shit, and I maybe would like her voice if it wasnt that shrill. She always sings at the top of her vocal range, which mostly sounda like screaming.

    Oh well, at least she´s got her mouth closed in those pictures.

    And Hellen Mirren is SO beautiful.

  15. Ferguson. says:

    I love her dress, she’s gorgeous.

  16. lrm says:

    I like russell brand’s suit-cool color and cut….

  17. Lady Jane says:

    A-symmetrical necklines maketh boobs look wonky. This is a rule without exception.

  18. Kelley says:

    I see an implant outline on Little Miss “The Rack is Real.” Right … tear-drop implants placed into the chest muscle is what she has. Liar !!!

  19. Attagirl says:

    I want to be Helen Mirren when I grow up!

  20. Scarlet Vixen says:

    I think Katy’s whole look is lovely (hair, makeup, accessories, dress) except the shoes. They look a too stripperish for the ensemble. LoL

  21. The_Porscha says:

    I think Perry looks beautiful, although I wish the bodice was a bit more fitted. It seems to “pouf” in a most unintentional/unattractive way around the midsection.

  22. Arianna says:

    i think the colour of the dress is fantastic on her!
    i quite like it
    but i am a sucker for all things grey

    djimon, you could do so much hotter <3

  23. Rachel says:

    Didn’t they walk the red carpet for some music awards show after their marriage? She was wearing a too short ticket dress.

  24. Rachael says:

    Katy is fashionable retarded. Ok, maybe not just fashionably. She looks like she is clueless and hires an intern level stylist. I’m just not buying her. I think her days are numbered as an “artist” and Russell will dump her within 2 years.

  25. Xx says:

    I wouldnt describe as hot or tacky. Shower curtain-like perhaps.

  26. baby says:

    its a pretty dress but it doesn’t fit her right on top. i wouldnt go so far as to say she looks trashy, just lazy (for not getting it altered)..helen mirren looks gorgeous as always. <3 her!

  27. Gabriela says:

    Katy is beautiful and she looks gorgeous in this dress. Her hair is beautiful too!

  28. gg says:

    Katy looks like she robbed grandma’s shower curtain and bargain stripper’s shoes.

    Russell designed his suit, obviously. I think he always does. How does he even sit down in that? Nobody on earth would wear ridiculous pants like that, especially in light corduroy. wtf. HE IS A BUFFOON and has no idea of it.

  29. rentho says:

    i like the color of katy’s dress…kimora looks nice and helen mirren is absolutely GORGEOUS (i hope to look like that when i get older)

  30. Stubbylove says:

    I agree with what has been said – Katy is gorgeous and her dress is almost there – with the exception of her lofty left breast on the verge of making an appearance and trashy shoes that take away from the elegance of the lace in her dress. Helen is a dream – Katy needs to take notes on how to dress classy and sexy w/o looking like a blow-up doll trying to look demure on the red carpet.

  31. craigc says:

    Anything this idiot puts on is tacky by default.

  32. Anon says:

    Who is paying attention to Katy when Helen Mirren is looking so fabulous?

  33. jover says:

    Agree fully marengermany; hopefully there is some taste in music left so this self-absorbed autotuned manufactured hack will disappear. WHo would actually admit to going to a KP “concert” since she stinks live. WHat I most despise about her ilk is that they use their “music” simply to fund their dreamy flashy celeb lifestyle, unlike the great bands and guitar gods of a few generations past that actually had talent and loved to play live. THis hack spends more time mediawhoring than working on her crap music oh that’s right other people actually write, produce and record it. What a useless tard.

  34. Kim says:

    TTACCCKKKYYY!!! She has no business walking a movie red carpet – WAAAYYY out of her league there. She has stepford eyes-blink Katy blink i dare you.

  35. Kim says:

    Saying Katy is gorgeous is like saying Russell is a GQ model. She is NOT attractive. Take off the pounds of spackle she wears and terrible outfits that show off her fake boobs/detract from her face and she is beyond blah. Her eyes I will say are very pretty but that is it.

  36. Saor says:

    Helen Mirren and Alan Cumming are flawless! So sick of seeing Katy everywhere though. I used to like her but watching her frolic around a candy-made beach in a bulky cupcake bra with her “oops!” face has pissed me off to the point of no return. Music obviously means sh*t to her now, she’ll just “sing” whatever crap people tell her to for cash and opportunities to wear latex.

  37. Julia says:

    It may be just those pics, but Russell looks kinda bored…More chemistry with Helen Mirren I thought 😀

  38. Jeri says:

    I think Katy is very pretty. She has a persona that a lot of women do not like but she is doing very well. Good for her. Like her a lot, hate GaGa.

  39. Stubbylove says:

    Well said Jover!

  40. Catherine says:

    She looks lovely in the dress. Not a fan of the shoes.

  41. TXCinderella says:

    Where do I start?

    Katy – Pretty, but this must be her wedding dress and the shoes are tacky.

    Russell – Oh Lord Katy, don’t let your man out of the house looking like this!

    Helen – Classy, as always. Beautiful!

    Kimora – Stop it! Too old to be wearing something that short.

    Djimon – He looks very handsome and that suit rocks!

    Alan – He has left me speechless with this getup!

  42. Sophie says:

    “she has a rubber soul, I think” made me giggle.

    and Helen Mirren looks FABULOUS, as usual.

  43. k says:

    I’m not a fan of Elie Saab clothing

  44. Jacq says:

    Sorry, Kaiser. Kimora married him, they also have a little boy.

  45. ziggy says:

    perry looks like emily blunt. the dress is lovely. perhaps an updo? no matter. she looks nice. brand looks nice – okay, clean. kimora lee looks a tad uncomfortable. her man looks good. mirren looks smashing as always…

  46. Trippin says:

    She’s in good company, everybody’s outfits suck!

  47. irishserra says:

    I don’t think the dress by itself is ugly, but she looks like she’s playing dress-up. Maybe the fit? Or perhaps it just looks odd after continually seeing her in cheap-looking hoochie-mama outfits?

  48. REALIST says:

    Well, the dress is bridal (!!) and one shoulder doesn’t seem to work work with something so fluffy and girly. (Reminds me of the dress in the boobs-w-fireworks video). I thought Katy was a wild one-has she gone all conventional now that she’s a married woman?
    BTW, what is Russell wearing?

  49. blinditemreader says:

    She’s giving off a pregnant vibe.
