Katy Perry Goes for a Psychedelic 60s Look for Her Residency in Las Vegas

KATY PERRY CHANNELS the 60s during Katy Perry: PLAY Las Vegas Residency, Resorts World Las Vegas. In one segment, she’s wearing neon print gown of orange and yellow, a boa and large vibrant yellow gypsy hoop earrings. Her look is on target with the trend toward vibrant colors and enamel in jewelry which was so popular on the ready-to-wear runways for spring/summer 2022. Designers opted for these vivid hues to represent brighter days ahead. Looks are reminiscent of the counterculture that took over the UK and the “make love not war” feeling that swept the U.S. From Mary Quant and Biba to Carnaby Street to the Pucci prints and the plastic, enamel, and Lucite that defined the era in jewelry, the 60s styles seemed to capture what we are seeing again today.

Perry also seemed to conjure up a modern day Natalie Wood in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (see photo) and stars like Cher during the late ‘60s. Perry’s outfit also recalled fashion shoots with Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton photographed by David Bailey.

This look continues to go forward in jewelry that mixes optimistic colored gemstones, psychedelic enamels, hoop earrings, bangle bracelets and mixed colored beads.
