Very nice! Katy Perry goes retro

[Young fogey]

And she doesn't look like she's trying to make fun of it with hipster irony.

I can take or leave her music but she looks like the inspiration for some WWII bomber nose art.

From here.

She's always had a retro vibe about her, some outfits better than others. But nice to put the vintage option in front of the younger generations.

I think you're off by about 10 or 15 years, but she certainly does look fetching. Reminds me of my high school days.

You mean her wardrobe people were inspired by the era.
It seems like most female pop singers eventually dip their toe in the vintage thing. It's an opportunity to do a "retro" music video and get some paparazzi play.

She looks great, regardless of her wardrobe (or lack thereof).

 

[MissMittens]

She's very 50's in that pic for sure. Not unattractive, but mostly because of her makeup I think. If she didn't have makeup, I don't think she'd be attractive at all

Actually, no. I remember her coming out to swing dances in Santa Barbara dressed retro. This was years ago.

 

[Feraud]

Really..that's cool. Going forward I her credit for bringing her sense of style into the pop arena.

 

[HeyMoe]

Worse case scenario is she starts a fashion trend towards dressing more vintage. Not that thats a bad thing!

As someone who admittedly has next to no handle on modern pop culture, this info both surprises and encourages me.
