By the time she booked her first Vogue cover in 2013, she told the mag, “I had the opportunity to wear really nice clothes. I was just, like, so appreciative. I was letting, you know, the stylist and everyone just lead because of course they knew best and they could take me to the next level.”
And now that she’s entering a new decade—celebrating her 40th birthday Oct. 25—she can appreciate that “less is more,” she acknowledged. But sometimes it’s still fun to, say, flash a bit of thong and a prosthetic butterfly tattoo.
“My red carpet outfits, they vary depending on what I’m going to or what it is or what the theme is, but I kind of go two different ways,” she explained. “I either go OTT weird and fun and wild and wacky, or I go elegant, evolved, designer, gorge.”
No matter the route, though, she’s mastered the art of leaving ’em all in awe, awe, awe. Check out the looks that prove Perry is brighter than the moon, moon, moon.
