Katy Perry in ice blue Zac Posen at the EMAs: budget Dita Von Teese or cute?

Bedhead is going to cover Miley Cyrus’s appearance at the EMAs in just a moment, so until then, let’s talk about fashion and awards at the European Music Awards. You can see the complete list of winners here – Miley won Best Video (for “Wrecking Ball”), Eminem won “Global Icon”, One Direction won Best Pop Group and Best UK & Ireland Group. You get the idea. As for the fashion… not much of it was good. You’ll have to excuse me, it’s been a while since I’ve covered Katy Perry in any way. It’s been so long that I’m now looking at her with fresh eyes… and I wonder what the hype is about.

Katy’s first look, her red carpet look, was the pale blue Zac Posen. Katy styled herself like a budget Dita Von Teese, which… she does often enough. Katy is always unsuccessfully jacking Dita’s whole shtick. By the way, I don’t think John Mayer came as Katy’s date last night. Probably because she’s trying to publicly force him into a proposal and he’s looking for the exit? CB, Bedhead and I have an in-house bet on when John and Katy are going to break up. My money’s on “after Christmas, before Valentine’s Day”. Anyway, as for the black lace number… I don’t have the designer ID on that. It looks cheap.

Here’s Rita Ora in Calvin Klein. Shockingly, this is one of my favorite looks from last night. Also: is she really dating Calvin Harris or are they just friends/collaborators?

Iggy Azalea flashed her mons in a Dilek Hanif Spring 2011 Couture gown. Someone said she was wearing a thong, but I looked through the photos and all I saw was beav. Take that, Miley!

Ariana Grande in Mikael D Resort 2012. Boring.

Ellie Goulding in Dolce & Gabbana. It’s okay. I’m not in love with it or anything.

And finally, whatever “Eva Simons” is. I don’t get it. Why is this a thing?

    Everyone here either looked boring (Katy, Rita, Ariana, Ellie, Iggy) or they looked ridiculous (Katy again, Eva Simons).

    Katy’s performance last night was cool in a cirque de soleil way but the vocals were tragic, I thought I was going to hurt myself from all that cringing.

    • Cristina says:

      Her live performances are like that for the most part :)). Have you seen that video of her singing karaoke? That was cringe-worthy.

      • Dani2 says:

        Lol girl, yes, but at least she had the excuse of being drunk in that one 🙂
        Watch the performance of “Unconditional” last night and fast forward to 1:39.
        You will cry with laughter 😉

      • Maria says:

        I don’t think being drunk is a good enough excuse for her karaoke performance 😀
        I’ve seen Kelly Clarkson’s drunk singing videos on youtube (I like her voice but her music is meh) and I gotta say she’d sing in circles around her…granted wavy ones but still! 😉

  2. Catherine Anne says:

    I actually really love the look of this dress. The colour is beautiful and she actually looks stunning. I usually don’t care for the way she looks but this really suits her.

  3. Tapioca says:

    The last one (Eva) is actually my favourite. If she was totally bald she’d look amazing!

  4. Cristina says:

    Yes, Ora & Harris are dating. They have lovey-dovey photos on their Instagrams to attest that 🙂 I’m surprised by this, but Katy’s look, the Zac Posen, is my favorite out of this bunch. Ariana Grande’s dress was cute too.
    I don’t get what’s up with Eva’s wig.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      They are so incredibly cute together.

      • Han says:

        Seriously? Calvin and Rita are an odd couple and have no chemistry. I don’t buy them as a couple.

    • Spooks says:

      I’m warming up to Rita Ora and I like them together.
      Why does Ariana Grande always have that annoying look on her face? Like she’s about to sneeze?

  5. Hannah says:

    Iggy Azalea just looks a bit… slow.

  6. Nev says:

    Except for Rita it’s all budget.

  7. yeahright says:

    I think Katy looks amazing… but I am biased because people say I am a dead ringer for her. Haha.

  8. Audrey says:

    I feel so old and out of touch. I only know who katy perry is lol

    • Josephine says:

      Not the same cut at all – just both long black dresses. i think she looks great, and the dress is very flattering (more flattering than Rihanna’s, although hers was nice too). I say that not even knowing who she is!!

  9. TheOriginalKitten says:

    They all look terrible.

  10. klue says:

    Rumour is Rita’s using Calvin. Once she has a hit song she’s out

  11. nicegirl says:

    I like Katy’s first look in the pale blue dress. I think if she’s gonna jack somebody else’s style, she could do A LOT WORSE than Dita Von Teese. Quite often I think she is trying to emulate Courtney Love, so this look is a win in my book.

  12. lucy2 says:

    Katy’s blue dress is pretty, but that 2nd photo is horrific. I cannot wait until the notion that putting on a see through skirt over granny panties is fashion goes away.

    I like Ariana’s, but it is a little boring for that particular event.

  13. Katy says:

    I actually like Eva Simmons look, just not the hair. The black and white ensemble actually looks pretty cool though.

    Ellie Goulding – eh. Not offensively bad, but not awe-inspiringly good.

    Ariana Grande – Look, I know girlfriend is playing a really young girl on Nickelodeon, and she’s still young, but she looks like she’s going to a homecoming at an alternative high school. She doesn’t have to be Miley opposite of her show, but she is never anything above “middle school blah” on a carpet.

    I like Iggy’s attitude, although recently she’s trying to up the “ratchet” since Miley’s been getting all of the attention. She looks good, she is talented, and I think that while she’s a bit exposed, I’ve seen worse on carpets and, really, it’s the EMAs. They advertised with a pantless chick in a suitcase, it isn’t like Iggy is wearing something that doesn’t belong here.

    I like Rita Ora’s outfit, although it does look almost exactly like that one Marc Jacobs Rihanna wore a couple years ago (or was it last year?). I think it was a Marc Jacobs tank dress?

    I usually really like Katy Perry’s style, but both of her choices look cheap. The first one looks like something my mom made for me from a Simplicity pattern, and the second looks like something I could pick up from Hot Topic circa 2000.

  14. Leila In Wunderland says:

    I only like Iggy Azalea’s look and Rita Ora’s look. Everybody else looks boring.

  15. AmandaPanda says:

    Rita Ora dates Rob kardashian. Which marks her out as an irredeemable fameho in my opinion. This latest news just confirms it.

    Kitty purry looks ok, but I think it’s harder for her this album round – teenage dream had such a strong styling concept (whether or not you agreed with it) that it was easy to dress for stuff like the VMAs. Whereas now she seems a bit lost between trashy tweenie princess and demure grown up artiste.

  16. Bread and Circuses says:

    Can Katy even walk in that first dress? It must have been such a visceral relief to change into the fishnet monstrosity.
