Cupcake Katy on Vogue's July Cover

Top Rt: Michael Kors custom bustier & skirt
Bottom Rt: Zac Posen duchess-satin strapless dress
When we think of Katy Perry, we think over-the-top, Pepto Bismol pink everything, cupcakes and Candyland.  We imagine a world of rainbows and butterflies...and bras that shoot deadly whip cream while gummy bears stand idly by ready to attack any heartbreakers in sight.  

So when we heard that Katy would be on the cover of Vogue's July edition, we imagined all of that coming into play somehow! To our surprise (and relief ?), that wasn't the case.  The cupcakes were replaced by couture and the Candyland for countryside, bringing out a more romantic ingenue in Katy rather than the tongue-in-cheek video kitten we've all grown to love. Bring on the flower appliqué's , satin, and...chickens? 

Annie Leibovitz, a long time favorite photographer of Vogue's (and ours!), took Ms. Perry on this journey to minimalism, which juxtaposed with glamorous couture gowns, catapulted Katy into a whole new galaxy of gorgeousness, sans aliens and whip cream bras.  It's a little reminiscent of Scarlet O'hara meets Disney damsel in distress.
