My first thought when I saw Katy Perry last night was, “Gross, she brought Riff Raff as her date.” Then I realized Katy was working a version of 2001 Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, and everything fell into place. Are Katy and Riff dating? I don’t know. Katy and Riff bragged about a date in March. This feels like a stunt. These two wanted trashy, and they got it.
Katy’s dress is Versace. She admitted she was dressed as Britney: “I must admit my outfit is a result of my love for nostalgia and my tumblr addiction.” Riff is hysterically awful, but he’s a bit less douchey than JT these days. Katy won the Best Female Video for “Dark Horse” (the video where she insulted Islam). Katy is annoying, but she looked good last night. She brought classic Britney with extra cleavage and some cowboy-themed jewelry to boot. A heavy-banged wig completed the look.
Iggy Azalea wore a skin-tight, embellished Versace gown. Iggy said that Versace asked her to wear one of their designs. They flew in the dress, but it didn’t fit. So there was a dramatic tailoring session, and the rest is history. Iggy looks good. I would have preferred a jewel tone because the silver washes her out. Iggy performed “Black Widow” with Rita Ora. The performance was rumored to involve Iggy and Rita beating up men. ACK. Thankfully, it only included a bunch of ballet dancers and the two leads walking around like badasses. Iggy also won “Best Pop Video” with Ariana Grande for “Problem.”
Rita Ora went for vampy glamour in Donna Karan Atelier. Rita always walks into an event like she’s just arrived. Considering that the villainous Calvin Harris was nowhere to be seen, this was a good night for Rita. I loved her red dress, which was very slinky. It reminds me of something Rihanna would wear.

I am no Katy Perry fan, but she redeemed herself with me a bit here. I love that they did this!
Agreed. So funny!
So do I! I miss the nineties. Sigh.
It was 2001.
Everyone knows the “90s” ended in 2004
Thanks Felice. Yeah, everyone knows that 🙂
It’s very horrible and funny! 😉
Iggy’s dress didn’t fit probably because of that new ass!
Is it real? It’s awesome looking but very minaj like
It’s fake. I googled images of her to see what her body was like before she became famous in the U.S. Definitely implants. Why do women do this? It’s not attractive or sexy. Who in the heck wants Bozo hips?
+1000!
She is a walking billboard for midsection lipo & fat transfer to the butt for sure!
The butt and the wig always distract. And then when she opens her mouth I wanna put pillows over my ears.
Katy Perry wins this round. Holy crap, how often do you hear that?
Never.
What are you talking about? I wear this to the bar every Friday night, ha. They look like the winners of The Wally-World Challenge.
Agree. Katy pulled it off beautifully.
I can’t see past Riff Raff. Have you ever heard this dude’s music? GOD. AWFUL.
Also, whenever I see him I think of Franco’s character in Spring Break.

Ha, that’s right. No wonder Kiddo likes him.
LMAO. Exactly. Although I never said I liked him,I liked the idea of the outfits. But mention Franco and I think it’s part of my contractual obligation to find it delightful.
LOL!
You crazy kids 😉
This Riff Raff looks like he needs to be hosed down with industrial bleach. She has the grossest taste in men.
Haha a commenter on here made a hilarious comment about him in the initial post about him:
“I do t know know who that guy is and I don’t care because he is the worst. He looks like the product of “behind the dumpster sex” and was raised in the bathroom of a Florida RaceTrack/stop n shop bathroom. Like the type if dude who would have 5 different flavors if lube in his glove compartment. The type of dude you wouldn’t buy drugs off of because he looks too stupid to do it well. The type of dude who smells like cherry car air freshener and old Chinese food.
Try f—ing that. *shudders*” – @Arock
That.was.Glorious! ..and an apt description of this assclown
Ahahahahaha! Fabulous description.
Hahahaha. Didn’t he used to be on that show “From G’s to Gents”?
Well dayum! Tell me how you really feel. lol
*blushes*
Aww Shucks, guys.
Ha! I remember that post. Giving QQ a run for her fuschia colored money, Arock. 🙂
Oh shiz. That’s the best thing I read on the internet in nearly forever.
He looks like he has lice, and she is too old to be rebelling against daddy by choosing “badboys”.
Iggy looks very uncomfortable in that white dress. Rita just doesn’t own that look and it is to made up for her.
That Riff Raff dude is gross and their outfits are douchey. I don’t think it’s a cute nod to the past.
I feel nine thousand years old because I don’t get any of it. (I mean I get it, I just think everybody looks & sounds like sh-t).
You’re a funny grouch. Too much earth shakin’ vodka this weekend, me thinks.
Ha. You might be right (again).
Lol. A poster after my own ♡.
Well, leave it to the two morons that love acting/dressing as racial caricatures to pull this… Cause it was a Halloween Party?
Anyways Britney did it Better, this lacks insouciance, but abounds in that cloying corny Gruyere flavored cheese that Katy Perry so favors
Rita needs all the colorists helps and ALL the hot oil treatments that are currently being offered in the market… Or a pixie cut
+1 To everything Q, and I laughed so hard at your Katy Perry comment.
And yes girl, Rita’s hair needs help.
YES! I’ll hold her down and you fix that “hair” or whatever you want to call that mess
Im not gonna Fix It Victoria, Im No Jesus.. I WILL however take some scissors to that bad boy and give her a Mia Farrow
Yes QQ! I saw them as the “cultural appropriation couple” of the night. Someone made a joke and said Katy ran out of cultures to appropriate so she started copying Britneylol!
I think Rita needs to go to a darker color and get some conditioning treatments. Maybe a Shea moisture treatment or Olive Oil
Yes Anna, in a stroke of Marketing Genius you’ve come up with what shoulda been the title of the Post : “Cultural Appropriation Barbie and Ken™ Now with a 2000s themed matching outfit”
+100
I’m never eating gruyere again.
Good lord.
I didn’t really like it. Katy is trying to throwback to Britney but Britney did the look when she was what, 17-18? And it was new and glorious and perfect for that 2001 awful fashion period. Katy is 29 (Britney is only 32!) so it just seemed like she was trying to do the “young, new version) of it but… they are almost the same age and Katy will never touch Britney.
He looks absolutely gross. I don’t care about Katy Perry and I never played attention to Britney spears, to me they both sing like crap,if you can even consider it singing.
Rita wants to be Rihanna so bad. Rihanna wore a similar dress a while back ago. Her orange skin, her platinum blonde mess, and that horrid shade of red lipstick do not work on her at all! It is not attractive, girl!
That gross guy made me violently ill to my stomach. KATY! I want to shake you for the following reasons: your music sucks, your taste in men sucks, and you in general annoy me.
I think Rita is pretty but that HAIR, Kaiser you hate bangs! But do something about processed wrong blonde tones! I CAN’T STAND IT.
Iggy needs to be flushed down the toilet with her fake ass and annoying music. My mom told me she likes her music. *face palm*
I used to like Riff Raff because I thought he was entertaining (especially on Gs to Gents) but after I heard all those stories from how he’s treated female fans (among the other sh*tty things he’s done) I don’t like him at all and Katy associating with him is another reason I don’t like her anymore. I think they’re probably partying together a lot and then hooking up. I bet Diplo set this up after all those rumours were around about him and Katy. Katy’s comments lately about tumblr are pretty funny considering most people on there don’t like her and don’t support how she’s carrying on, especially after her comments about Transgender women (who she steals a lot of her stuff from). I’m surprised she likes tumblr so much but is still so offensive
Rihanna has worn a dress really similar to Rita’s before just in a different colour
Trashy, no. Tacky and the cheesiest of cheese, yes.
I do NOT like Iggy but her body looks amazing 👀👀👀
That shade of blonde washes Rita out, but she still looks nice.
Rita looks STUNNING. She wears so many hideous outfits that I sometimes forget what a classic beauty she actually is!
I have no idea who this guy is but my initial reaction when I saw his pic was…. Ewwww…..
I hate this guy.
Katy Perry’s outfit just seems stunt-rific, not a homage or cute. Are they a thing, The human Cheeto and cupcake tits? Ugh, I bet his pinky nails are really long and gross.
Just.nasty.
Rita looks like she’s wearing a nightgown.
Did Iggy not realize she was going to the VMAs? Cause she’s the token overdressed girl in the sparkly gown (bonus points for it clearlynot fitting). It’s not like Versace wouldn’t have had a variety of more occasion appropriate outfits.
Rihanna actually wore that outfit 2 years ago but in Green. The black one kylie jenner was wearing has been Wien by rih at the pre Grammy party but in yellow
I don’t like any of it.
me neither.
Almost everything about the VMAS got a great big NOPE from me.
It’s the VMAs so I actually appreciate when the singers go ahead and do something tacky on purpose. Props to Katy.
Iggy is such a butterface. Her body is ridiculous but her face always looks so jank.
This is the best Rita’s ever looked for me and I can’t stand this woman.
Neither of them looks any good, IMO. By the way, is “homages” an actual word? I mean, can you use it as a verb instead of a noun?
Riff Raff looks like a cautionary tale about having unprotected sex.
Ha! I just spat on myself laughing at this! I was just thinking about how just looking at him makes me think I might need a cycle of doxycycline. He is all kinds of nasty gross.
No, just no.
Katy HAS been on tour with Kacey Musgraves so perhaps it’s also homage to her country bestie?
Regardless I think she looks fabulous!
I know she’s a pop star with marginal talent who depends on gimmicks, props, wigs, exaggerated drag queen-style makeup and outrageous costumes to stay relevant but seriously, it’s getting so lame now…even for an MTV awards show. What was cute in her early twenties, now looks desperate at 29. She’s a pretty woman without the wigs and makeup. She doesn’t need to try so hard to look attractive. As for her date, he’s obviously another one of her props. I have no idea who that scuzzy looking guy is and I’m just fine with that! LOL
LOSE. Britney was EVERYTHING in that outfit and Katy Perry looks meh. Don’t set yourself up for comparisons gurl, it’s just sad.
this is just such a formulated move by katy and wes (diplo) to dodge dating rumors. he even tweeted something about how great they looked. I don’t know, if that were my significant other I would find it even stranger to use a mutual friend as a cover up.
So cute. It’s the VMAs, video music awards, not the Oscars. They don’t even nominate the best videos oftentimes. You have to have a hit to even get picked even if the video is boring and they ignored more creative videos even if they were popular as a single but not in the in crowd at the moment or a number one hit. It’s just a fake awards show.
It looked adorable on her, and she was having fun with it. Good for Katy.
Man, I know I’m a day late with this, but
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
to both of these two.
Ugh, maybe I’m too old for this as I think they all sound & look awful.
The thing about Katy Perry is- she’s always having fun with her clothes. It’s always a bit tongue-in-cheek so good for her! She tries different things, her style is both creative and fun. Why not?
