Katy Perry’s Smurfette dress at ‘The Smurfs’ premiere: horrific or cute?

smurfs_premiere_arrivals_17_wenn3448062

The Smurfs movie has premiered in NYC, and Kaiser just covered the red carpet jewel tone of Sofia Vergara, who was molesting Smurfs while wearing a trashy dress on the red carpet, along with the delicious Alan Cumming and his “Smurf Happens” t-shirt. Now, Katy Perry has upped the ante by laying a kiss on the plush Smurfette herself, but I sort of appreciate that Katy has covered her cleavage with a demurely placed hand because we don’t need the girls falling out at the red carpet premiere of a children’s movie:

And of course, Katy’s kissing a girl and liking it, right? Apparently, that was all part of the filmmakers’ plan:

Why would the upcoming movie version of The Smurfs hire Katy Perry to voice Smurfette when the singer has never acted in a movie before? Perhaps to sell one of the movie’s meta jokes with some extra oomph. Vulture hears that at one point in the July 29 film, Smurfette admits, “I smurfed a girl … and I liked it.” But wait, isn’t Smurfette the only girl Smurf in existence? Did she smurf her own reflection, or isn’t that something Vanity Smurf would be more likely to do? So many

[From Vulture]

Back to the dress though, which is far too short for this venue but admittedly kind of cute and certainly flattering to Katy’s pin-up girl figure. However, I find this sexed-up look horrific in terms of my memories of “The Smurfs” as Saturday morning television programming. While I realize that Katy’s merely a promotional prop here, I certainly doubt that parents will buy tickets for their kiddies based upon her voicing of Smurfette. Still, I will concede that Katy’s probably the only currently famous person who could pull off this dress in a semi-flattering manner; yet she’d look a lot better with her usual black dye job, since darker hair contrasts well against her pale skin and lets her cartoonish features pop, so to speak. From the way that Katy’s messing with her hair, she might just feel the same way:

Also and just because she’s Katy Perry, she’s obliged to pull bizarre, “zany” faces too:

    Ha, the dress is kind of cute although she looks like a stripper at a very specifically-themed batchelor party, but then that is normal for her.

    The shoes are great and I like that she went the whole hog and painted her nails blue too.

    However, that dye job is dreadful and the blue eye make-up is making me think that she is coming for my soul. HALP!

    The dress is cute but should have been a little longer. It is difficult fof Katy to hold on to the boobs and cover her biscuits at the same time while bending over

    Otherwise – Smurftastic!

    She annoys me. She thinks she is super cute and super original and super edgy but she is just another mediocre talent dying for attention. Thing is, is that she is really a beautiful young woman and looks like she is still pretty natural. But she tries way too hard.

    Not really appropriate for a kid’s movie premiere. I don’t know, sometimes I wish she knew how to dial it down for occasions that call for it. She seems really insecure in that sense, like she always needs to play it sexy and silly.

    I find her grating. Like can you just calm down for one minute? She always has to be the center of attention, the girl with her boobs out wearing a lampshade at the party. Like take a xanax and let us see another side of you for once. Cause this side started getting on my nerves in 2010.

    I hate her stupid faces. In fact, I don’t care for her at all. The dress – I hardly need to say how ridiculous it is. But the thing that irks me the most is the dearth of original ideas in Hollywood. Seems every single movie these days is from a comic book and/or a sequel and then a reboot and sequelsequelsequel. Gearing up for “Smurfs II – Fully Loaded” already…

    agree rhiley anyone that appreciates real music, not toy pop music, finds this talentless autotuned hack beyond annoying. The fact that she’s at all these events shows she’s a media whore, not a musician or artist, living out her childhood fanstasies of fame and wealth. Remember, folks she started out as a christian singer, but that didn’t yield her the fame she craved so she and her label/handlers came up with this schtick to sell her music to the masses. How can someone as corporate created as KP ever be considered edgy is beyond me. Hello, maybe the indigo girls or a group like that but not this brainless ditz. ANyone read her 12 year old opinions in that recent inteview in Rolling Stone. She’s as brainless as talentless. Shows you what marketing can do.

    I’m getting a bit of an Evan Rachel Wood vibe off of her with the lighter (icky) hair. But man, whatever she uses on her skin (arms, shoulders, collarbone, legs, et all) is amazing – her skin is LUMINOUS and I wanna know her trick!

    Her hair looks like she bleached it without toning it well. Hence the change from a whiteish blonde to an orange-y color. Ick. Go back to black, it suits you much more than a half-assed blonde.

    I’ve actually just always wanted to know who shapes her brows and/or what kit she uses to fill them in and how. As for the outfit, normally I don’t like things like that but she looks cute…like she is just having fun. So it’s not a don’t (at least not in these pics!) for me.

    Yes, Katy is totally manufactured, but she seems to know that, and she actually said she can be easily replaced and that there are hundreds of girls in line behind her to take her place. She also said drolly: “I know ‘California Girls’ isn’t going to save the world” I’m not defending Katy, but at least she seems partially self-aware of her fleeting time in the spotlight and her lack of originality.

    I think the dress is awesome! A little too short for a kids’ movie premiere, but Smurftastic nonetheless

    I would like to see her bleach blond or go back to the dark color.

    As for her music…everybody says auto-tune, blah, blah. That is her style and it is making her and many other people good money. I don’t agree with it, I appreciate true talent. This is the trend now and I think we are going to have to live with it for a while.

    If you want to hear real music, grab some vinyl and throw on some Stones…now that is the real deal. ;)

    The dress ain’t great but that has got to be one of the worst dye jobs I have ever seen. It’s like she woke up that morning remembering she had to go to the Smurfs premier and threw together a craptacular Smurfette costume complete with cheap bleaching.

    Throw in my vote for the dress. Its a kid’s movie and a campy one at that – She blended the carton theme with her own cartoon-betty boop persona to a t- complete with the blue eyeliner and shoes. I think its very halloweeny but also perfect.

    Okay the “natural” blonde hair looks nowhere near as good as the edgy black, and she’s forgotten to dial back the makeup to blonde as well.

    Hehe Katy is totally being used as a PR piece here. Smurf-sensational. Who would give two hoots about this movie unless there’s Katy photo ops? In AUS her Proactive ads are currently being shown…shocked at how pretty she is without the clown makeup and with relatively normal hair. No wonder Russel was smitten at first look. The hair is too blonde…should go red like Amy Adams, Julianne Moore. Better contrast with her really pale skin.

    I didn’t read all the comments above me, so forgive me if I repeat: Has anyone noticed that her hair is a slightly toned-down version of Lady Gaga’s bleach/yellow ‘do from forever ago? Seriously, look at the two and compare them. The transition from bleach to a darker yellow (regardless of the fact that Katy’s is more caramel-y than highlighter-y) is the same.
