Katy Perry in Wes Gordon

Y’know? We’ve gotta give it to Miss Katy. There’s something sort of elegant and California-chic about this look, and she’s pulling it off quite well.

The hair’s a little weird and the shoes, while fabulous, are probably a bit heavy for the look. But that’s not an easy dress to make work and she’s managing it; or at least, she would be if she’d just smooth it out a bit. She just needs to pull her hair back and off her face, put on a colorful or glittery pair of sandals, and maybe slap on a simple cuff – or better yet, a cocktail ring. Then she’d be perfect in our eyes. And darlings, isn’t that what it’s all about? Being perfect in the eyes of T Lo?

But seriously: cute – and more important to us, interesting – dress. It would make a great start to a great look. As it is, it’s a great start to a merely-good look.
