Here are some photos of Katy Perry at the Trevor Live event where she was honored for her efforts against bullying. During her speech, Katy stated, “I hope all LGBTQ youth know that they are as valuable as anyone else, that they are amazing and unique, and make the world a more vibrant place.” Well, at least she said something remotely intelligent and inspiring unlike her recent statements about feminism. So that’s something, I guess. Small steps.

Katy is wearing a beige/flesh-colored Marchesa dress here, and — even though I agree with Kaiser (and nearly everyone who’s witnessed the horror of Marchesa) that the only reason that any starlet wears the label is due to the not-so-subtle encouragement of Harvey Weinstein — this really isn’t such a bad dress in the grand scheme of all of that sparkly, ice-capadey crap that Georgina Chapman designs. This dress is certainly better than the last Marchesa getup that Katy wore; remember, the one that made her look like a jewelry-box ballerina? So terrible. But you know that Katy’s only wearing this dress because Harvey’s going to make her a movie star. Katy looks good here even though she’s probably unnecessarily relying upon her Spanx security blanket. She’s also toned down her usual hair and makeup habits too, which is a somewhat unexpected but quite welcome change. Or perhaps the lighting is just working in her favor.

Anna Kendrick wore a very light blue Georges Chakra dress, which is floaty and flattering at the same time. She looks gorgeous here even if the hair is a bit off.

Zoe Saldana wore a muted pink cocktail dress, and it washed her out completely. At least she’s not looking so frighteningly skinny these days.
