I can’t help but think that Katy Perry’s various outings during Paris Fashion Week are designed to help her launch the edgy, dark vibe that she’s promised will soon take over her next record. Let’s start with yesterday’s look at the Yves Saint Laurent show, which Hollywood Life describes as “sophisticated,” but I’m not so sure. Does she look authentically fierce and punky in this dark green and leather ensemble, or is it just Katy playing her usual dress up games? There’s so much dark eyeliner at work here, and the look is so severe and exaggerated that Katy seems to be working against herself. That Croydon facelift hairstyle looks so painful that I just want to give her a hug and tell her to relax. Maybe we should just be grateful that her butt isn’t hanging out in this outfit.
Later on yesterday, Katy hit the Chanel show looking like she was stll going for the goth princess look. She’s so hardcore.
I’m including a few of Katy’s other fashion week looks at the bottom of this post, but let’s take a brief interlude and see what Russell Brand’s been up to over the weekend. According to the NY Post, Russell was in NYC and hitting on all sorts of chicks, including one girl that he approached outside a restaurant to tell her that she was “perfect.” But it wasn’t all fun and (shagging) games, for Russell was in town for business purposes, and he slyly began to hit back at Katy during his standup routine. Of special note is Russell’s reference to “glitter“:
Brand was in town for Amnesty International’s “Secret Policeman’s Ball.” Onstage at Radio City Music Hall on Sunday night, The comic and actor — wearing a chain from his belt that dangled provocatively between his legs — played up his womanizing reputation.
When he first took the stage at the benefit with Noel Fielding of UK show “The Mighty Boosh,” Brand mentioned there are “10 women facing death by stoning for adultery in Iran.” Fielding then said to Brand, “You slept with 10 women last night!” Brand shot back, “Yes, I’m responsible for most Iranian stonings.”
Brand didn’t specifically mention Perry during the show, aired on Epix. But he did reminisce about the night their relationship kicked off when he was host of the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. He said, mysteriously, that pop culture was, “a pink pony trotting through our brains, [bleep]ing glitter.”
Meanwhile, Perry was seen partying over the weekend in Paris at a “This is New York” bash at Le Regine. She was “dancing the night away” with friends, according to spies.

Okay, he didn’t mention Katy by name, but we all know who he’s talking about with the glitter poop reference. It’s hard to deny how funny Russell’s wording is in this instance, but it’s gotta be hard for Katy to hear something like that.
Katy also stepped out a few times over the weekend to attend various fashion shows, and her outfits were ridiculous. One of them was a Viktor & Rolf runway look for (of course) the Viktor & Rolf presentation. I’m so tired of this “blue” look already, but again, I’m just thankful that her butt cheeks aren’t saying hello.

I like the blue outfit. The end.
I wish she’d get rid of her blue hair though!
Yeah, the blue outfit ROCKED! Katie (AND Russel, for that matter)= meh in general for me…
I’m with you @Abby. The outfits r ok. But dear God, the hair,the blue hair is killing me, Katy please hear our cries!
I want the blue coat and shoes.
Other than that its nice to see her wearing clothes she hasn’t squeezed herself into and its nice to not see her tatas!
she’s not fashion.
I think most of her top looks would have been quite sophisticated if she would just QUIT THE TACKY BOOTS!!!
The olive green outfit is quite nice and wintery, but the DAMN BOOTS ARE FUGLY AND CHEAP.
The black dress is pretty, except for the DAMN FUGLY AND TACKY SHORT BOOTS!!!
The grey coat outfit is quite nice and sophisticated, except for the DAMN BOOTS!!!!
Burn those damn boots already.
As for Brand, never really mattered. He got in North America news when he hooked up with Perry… Who is not going to matter soon either. She was supposed to be a one-hit wonder.
+1
The boots are so trashy-tacky-cheap. No. Just say no, Katy.
Love the quilted leather jacket, though.
I love everything except the blue coat. Especially like the python-motif yellow top. (Hopefully faux python!).
Is it bad that I don’t hate that blue jacket?
Also, I hate that we have to hear about them *so* much now that they divorced. I didn’t care before they were married, I didn’t care while they were married, and I barely care now.
that leather jacket is pretty cool.
She’s more of a blue or bubblegum girl.
If I was a male and my girlfriend or wife dressed like that, I would be very embarrassed.
She lost the Taco Bell weight, I’d say. Her cheekbones are looking particularly “post-breakup.”
She’s not fashionable enuf to be attending Paris fashion week!
#1 Like it, all of it. Don’t buy it on KP but still like it.
#2 I like her…hair style…wish I could see the hat…
#3 Everything except the purse. My mom has medication that looks like that. Just No! I remember Jennifer Lawrence wore that dress or similar a few months ago. Yep still liking it.
#4 I like the coat.
She looks horrible. Totally unattractive. Her makeup looks so ugly. This “dark&edgy” look is not working for her at all.
Russell’s been doing that “pink pony shitting glitter” material since before the divorce, FYI. It’s only new in the sense that this is the first time he’s said it on national TV, but he’s been using that at his LA shows for months.
I did always think it seemed particularly applicable to Katy, though, even before I knew they were divorcing. I remember being at one of his shows when he said that, and thinking “How on earth can you be married to that nitwit who’s the epitome of the pink glitter shitting pony??”
I see now that Katy has to dress like a cartoon character, because she has really bad taste in normal people clothes.
that outfit is s-it. not the sh-t. just sh-t. because if you think that is kinda goth, you’re on crack. That outfit is yuppy not gothy. gothy doesn’t cost over a hundred buck bitch! Gothy doesn’t put huge gold earings on!
I swear people don’t know s–t when it comes to goth.
that’s how you know you’re favorite celeb is a fucking idiot!!!!!
She’s a beautiful young woman but has no idea how to dress in a way that highlights her strengths, such a waste!
Yes. Her face and hair were beautiful in the Interview mag shoot recently. What goes into marketing a pop star…does Katy have any say in what she wears and how she looks. Blue hair, “looks” that don’t suit her? Does she choose to look like this or does the record company tell her? That blue hair seriously has to go. It’s doing so much damage to her hair. And it looks bloody awful.
Aside from the ill advised blue hair, I like it. I think she’s a pretty girl. And most of the time I admire her wild fashion sense.
not bad. i like all of them except maybe the grey trenchcoat and the leather jacket. she usually dresses nicely but sometimes picks wrong accessories imo
She makes everything she wears look so cheap… And her face annoys me aswell, like look at that head.
I can barely see the clothes through the dense fog of goddamn TRY
I like all of her looks. Just because she is wearing black or a black leather jacket doesn’t mean that she is trying to be goth. I think she is just having fun at fashion week, changing up her look. Geez.
he was making the glitter joke before the divorce.
On a side note, I would love to go to that standup, not for him, but because I find Noel really hot! 😉
It’s hard to take someone seriously when they are rockin’ smurf hair. The goth/rock look doesn’t play well on her. A woman has got to know her limitations.
i like the outfit with the green dress, but not on her…
she has almost as big a forehead as her BFF Rihanna
What does this woman do for a living?
I remember when “celebrity” used to mean you were interesting
She’s just so dull
Hey Katy! Why the long face?
he he he
Love it. Love her.
(That’ll get me a verbal shanking, won’t it?)
I especially love the blue outfit.
Black leather jacket is cute. But THAT HAIR! For the love of god that hair – I can’t.
That’s gothy hardcore? Just looks like her usual mixed bag of fashion hit and misses (mostly misses) – nothing much different than what we’re used to seeing.
Seriously. Looks like 8th grade Mervyn’s goth/hardcore try.
She has the most hideous style. Yuck for all of them
She still looks like she’s playing dress-up, but I’d rather this than the endless stream of candy-themed costumes.
Dark & edgy? Ha! I do want those blue shoes and that blue coat though – they are gorgeous.
She also needs to lay off on the eyeliner. Racoon McPantless already has a copyright on that look.
She reminds me of Kare Goslin.
Katy Perry…edgy? Most of the time that doesn’t work for a pop star. Look at Kelly Clarkson. She tried edgy and failed and is now back to good ol’ easy bubble gum pop.
She also needs to stop imitating a smurf with that hair.
Most of the outfits are pretty fug. And in some of these photos it just highlights how plain she really is. For some reason I thought she was much prettier. I think makeup must be her BFF.
What Camille said.
I was gonna say she looks more like a freakin’ adult with her clothes stylin’ then I’m scrolling down think eh least its better that Nikki i’m not gonna say the rest that cray cray’s name.
such a pretty girl..why does she go out of her way to look like shit. ENOUGH with the stupid hair colors UGH..
Love the first outfit except that the leather (pleather?) looks of poor quality. And I like that eye makeup.
I dislike everything else, except that last grey coat.
I just must not be a fan of Viktor & Rolf. Same designer(s) who did Jennifer Lawrence’s meh dress http://www.celebitchy.com/202009/kelly_osbourne_versus_jennifer_lawrence_whose_stylist_hated_her_more/
I like the blue hair, but then, it’s a color I often go back to for my own hair. 🙂
That blue outfit looks like a costume from the Hunger Games. It’s what I imagine people in the capitol would wear.
Nope. Nothing hard rock about katy perry. She still screams bubble gum pop.
Dear Katy. Please get new friends. Friends don’t let friends dress like that. Luv, Me
Divorce is hard, y’all.
“Does she pull it off?”
A resounding NO!
I think she pulls off dark and edgy really well. Homegirls got like 5 planets in scorpio so I’m sure she has a lot of depth and darkness to her. And her eyes are amazing! wow!
She just needs to get rid of that damn blue hair.
Katy Perry continues to amaze me. She’s still around. I predicted that in the fame lasting meter: Rihanna = Whitney, Katy = Cyndi Lauper and Gaga = Madonna. Boy, I was wrong. Gaga is going the Cyndi way. We haven’t talked about Lady Gaga for a long time now and she has things to promote too like Katy. Idk, I saw Gaga’s latest stunt on the Daily Mail and she feels like a Jonas Brother. At the Grammys alone, no one cared about her. It was all about Adele and a bit of Nicky Minaj, a Gaga wannabee. Has she exhausted all the attention seeking ways? Or the shock is over? Maybe it was a wise decision for Gaga not to show up every now and then. I mean it’s sad if her 15 minutes are up when she’s the most talented in her batch.
She could look smoking hot right now with dark hair and bangs. She doesn’t look dark and edgy to me with her blue hair. She looks like a bubblegum princess trying to look edgy.
She looks like Adam Lambert circa Idol days. Wait…weren’t they friends? I remember her wearing a cape with his name embroidered on the back during an Idol performance.
Pretty girl, nice outfits, shiteous hair.
If she is gonna keep that blue hair she needs to be re-doing the color and roots WAY more frequently. its nothing against her but it looks cheap other wise, if it was vitrant and there wasnt huge roots at least it would look polished, or as polished as it can look.
OMG,Casey Anthony resurfaces!
Does she not have ANYONE to tell her she looks like a first-time-on-the-job wanna-be dominatrix?
Or the trashy friend designed to make her friend look better on a night out on the town?
Or a “lady of the night” out on the town?
Bad look for her. And has she lost more weight – her face looks unattractively TOO thin.
Katy Perry looks best when she sticks with being kitschy not gothy. She is a natural beauty with big blue eyes best offset with dark hair. Stop messing with what works!
