Katy Perry in Marchesa at London ‘Part of Me’ premiere: awful & ice-capadey?

Katy Perry

Katy Perry walked the red carpet last night for her London premiere of her Katy Perry: Part of Me 3-D movie, and her look wasn’t nearly as fashion foward as the slightly amazing red, strapless Dolce & Gabbana dress she wore for the Los Angeles premiere. Here she wore a gold and white Marchesa dress, which is very Ice Capadey by nature. Perhaps Katy only wore this dress to impress Harvey Weinstein so that he’ll turn her into a real movie star, or maybe she actually likes this ugly thing. With Katy, one never knows — she’s clearly trying to work this dress, but it’s just such a terrible design.

Katy’s makeup was overdone as always, and her hair looked pretty cartoony and mushroom-like amidst a matching gold headband. So much makeup!

Meanwhile, here are some new details about Katy’s exploitation of her marriage and divorce within the movie. As we’ve already discussed, Russell asked that his likeness be removed from the film, but Katy said no way. Now Katy (within the movie footage) has inadvertently revealed some proof that a big reason for the split was that the couple possessed different ideas about starting a family. Russell was apparently in a huge hurry to have kids and, according to this piece from NY Daily News, was even thinking about baby names. Katy’s response to Russell’s musings was rather insensitive:

Fans see a different side of Katy Perry in the new film, Part of Me, which shows the bubblegum pop star breaking down backstage over her split from Russell Brand.

The documentary shows Perry, 27, at her emotional breaking point — collapsing in tears moments before she’s supposed to take the stage in Brazil. Brand, 37, filed for divorce in February, and Part of Me highlights the roughest part of Perry’s struggle to accept the broken relationship.

But the show must go on — and Perry, whose concert gear famously consists of bright, theatrical costumes and florescent wigs — graced the stage with a megawatt smile.

While Brand, a comedian, does appear in the flick, he pops in and out only in early scenes. Later, an exhausted Perry struggles to uphold the relationship, flying to see her husband in between sleepless touring.

A friend interviewed in the film notes that Perry “should be resting, but she wants to fly to wherever Russ is to show she cares. She’s running herself ragged.”

During another scene, Brand texts Perry, suggesting they name their children after Ronald McDonald. Perry, 10 years younger than her husband and not ready for a family, texts back: “Babies can’t have babies, and I’m still a baby.”

Conflicting desires about having children only added to the stress of a shared life spent in the spotlight, and — due to demanding travel schedules — often apart. Perry was on tour when Brand filed for divorce, and Part of Me includes the news of the announcement — and the singer’s subsequent heartbreak.

Later, Perry tells the cameras she still misses Brand. “I’m a romantic and I believe in the whole fairytale,” she says. “Love is a dream, but the reality is making it work. I did everything I could — but it’s still failed.”

See, that’s kind of a rude thing to text back to a husband when he’s getting all googly eyed over baby names. The problem isn’t that she didn’t want to stop her career to have children. That’s certainly Katy’s prerogative to feel the way she felt about children at this stage in her life. The issue is more that she did talk about wanting babies, and then she shut down Russell when he was all hopeful that they’d go forward with a family. Katy truly did pull a baby bait-and-switch with the guy. But maybe she’s correct in that she is a baby herself.

Naturally, Katy also had to put on some “quirky” airs at the London premiere too. Here she is freaking out with a Union Jack umbrella in hand.

    Ugh, Marchesa! :/ :/ I always found it quite rich that Georgina Chapman was on the jury of last season of Project Runway… AS IF she’s capable of telling what good fashion looks like!

      swan lake tranny chic

    • Elizabeth says:

      It doesn’t remind me so much of the Ice Capades as it does a costume for a Disney World emeployee to wear in the daily parade down Main Street. I feel baton twirling coming on!

  2. Hakura says:

    She really looks like one of those little ‘twirling ballerinas’ that pop up out of music boxes. (Side note: She couldn’t find a mushroom-cloud shaped hair piece that matched the rest of her hair?)

    Katy is most definitely behaving like a spoiled bratty child. =

  3. Meryl says:

    Perry and her questionable style always makes me laugh. It looks like she took some scissors and cut bottom of this dress. It looks just awful. Her make up is always so heavy and makes her look like manekin.

  4. Tiegs says:

    Oh my god, what a horrid witch!

    I mean, she did say she wanted to have children (obviously just to get him down the aisle) then she said ‘not yet’ to having babies, then she said ‘not yet’ to having babies again!

    Jesus, after being married for a whole year, she wasn’t even pregnant with twins. What a lying, selfish cow, doesn’t she know that giving your husband kids named after a fast food mascot is the only reason to even get married?

    Poor Russell, duped and then deprived by that evil woman….

    I don’t care for Katy, but this ‘bait and switch’ nonsense is ridiculous.

    • Lukie says:

      You know, when it comes to that I actually.side with Russell.

      Look at it from this perspective:

      A 37 year old woman is married to a 27 year old. She wants kids (biological clock is ticktickticking away) & discussed this before marriage. Her husband was gung ho but now, he is giving mixed signals. She talk about babies & his reply is, “babies don’t have babies!” Yea, well then babies shouldn’t get married either.

      He’s ready to settle down, but she’s not. If this is something she was gung ho to do & took it off the table, then she’s an immature liar & should have never married someone that felt strongly about what he wanted & was ready for. It’s unfair & misleading.

  5. Amelia says:

    Gah……what fresh hell is this?!
    *throws salt, dances around a fire*
    Be gone! Back to the ice rink with you Perry.
    Actually, it’s not even fit for that. If anyone I knew showed up to competition in that, they’d be laughed off the ice.

  6. Sisi says:

    Marchesa will never be anything more than just … Marchesa. Horrid

  7. the original bellaluna says:

    She’s a baby? Is that why it always sounds like she’s screeching at me from the speakers in my car? If she was MY baby and pulled that shit in the car, I’d pull over and get out until she was done. (Thankfully, I have that steering wheel station changer/volume thingy, and my 3 year old is better behaved.)

    Yes; yes, I’m bitter. A stupid commercial for her movie came on in the car yesterday, and I’ve had her “Baby you’re a fiiiiiiierrrrework!!” yodel-screech stuck in my head ever since.

    • Sillyone says:

      Bell, I thought I was the only one in the world when hearing her voice get the same chills down my spine like I do when I hear nails on a chalkboard. Can’t stand it!

      • the original bellaluna says:

        Silly – Nails on a chalkboard don’t get me – never have. But KP is on par with a dentist’s drill to me. And that is NEVER the thing! 🙂

    • marie says:

      I feel for you, that’s awful. I just saw the commercial on tv, luckily I caught it and changed the channel before she started singing, crisis averted..

      Oh, and that dress is awful but it’s something I’d expect her to wear..

      • the original bellaluna says:

        I diligently avoid TV with commercials (I DVR, watch 3 year-old-oriented movies, or pay channels/stream), so I’ve been blessed with only seeing the beginning of her movie commercial.

        But I was trapped, TRAPPED I tell you! in that car and powerless to change the station prior to her yodel-screech. (I’m on my third toddler, and I know from yodel-screeching!)

  8. beyonce's bump says:

    Not a KP fan. I hate her music and detest the way she dresses.

  9. AnneOriginal says:

    She is irritating. Everything about her screams try-hard.

  10. Marissa says:

    This dress is just as awful as she is. And I know that this is HER movie, HER premiere, but must she always be, “Look at me! I’m Katy Perry! Watch me say and/or do something cutsey and quirky!” It’s just so annoying and tiring. Essentially, I don’t like her, and I don’t like the way she treated the baby situation with Russell. I feel as though she put no effort in working out what was left of her marriage. But what do I know? (Shrugs)

  11. Miffy says:

    Her hair and makeup look good in these photos… and that right there is the highlight of KP’s career in my books. You can f**k off back to the top of the Christmas tree now, Katy. And stay there. Silently.

  12. Lucy2 says:

    If you got rid of the poofy spots and added a longer skirt, it would go to pretty bad, vs the what in holy hell is she wearing level it’s at now.
    … why is there a movie about her?

  13. Crystal says:

    That dress is so tragic but when is Marchesa not a hot garbage mess.

    Katy… Ugh. Well at least her make up isn’t as heavy as it was at the last premiere.

    My sister watched a special screening of her movie and from what she said, it looks like Katy used it to make herself seem like the victim. Apparently it even shows the time when she realised her marraige was over and she takes her ring off on camera.

    This woman is a trip. Seriously.

  14. Jo says:

    I find it really hard to believe that Russell Brand was all “googly eyed” over babies when suggesting a fast food clown’s name for a child. What a joke! He’s an ass and she isn’t much better. On the other hand, so what if she wanted to wait to have children and keep on with her career? I think she saw RB for what he really was (pompous douchebag) and she was really smart to make a conscious decision not to have children just yet. Still don’t like her style though at all!

    • Lucinda says:

      Yeah, I’m not sure the example name given was a serious suggestion. If it was, lord help that child! I don’t think her text was particularly rude either. After all, who knows how many conversations there had been on this subject.

      Looking back at old interviews, she doesn’t suggest she wants babies right away, just that she wants them. Even in one interview you linked, she said if her career didn’t take off, then she’d quit and have kids. That’s quite different.

      Seriously, they should have talked this out before getting married. I blame them both. Children can be a pretty charged topic. Are you suggesting she should have had a kid to save her marriage?

  15. Franny says:

    She’s so pretty, I don’ understand why she feels she has to try so hard. That dress, like every single Marchesa dress ever made, is awful.

  16. jc126 says:

    She is so tiresome. Her voice is manipulated heavily, I think, which is why it sounds so different from song to song, and she tries too hard to be sexy. I wish she’d go away.

  17. Kate says:

    EVERYTHING Marchesa makes is something I would have adored when I was seven. Adored it! Because those were the clothes my Barbies wore. Marchesa stuff is laughable to me now as an adult, but I could totally picture me as a little girl playing dress up in that shit. And loving it.

  18. REDSLIP says:

    She looks like Boy George sometimes – especially with the Disney makeup + dark purple hair combo.

  19. mst says:

    Tacky dress but I think she is pretty and has a nice figure.

  20. Thea says:

    Still waiting on a clown car to drive up and carry this technicolor twa* off somewhere. She makes me want to punch a my little pony in the face. Sorry, I have been up too long reading about Sea orgs, thetans and OT III’s. I apologize.

    • Veruca says:

      You’re forgiven. 🙂

      It’s funny how you don’t even have to be part of the organization, yet they can still make you crazy…

      Taking your ring off on camera? That’s even tackier than the smiley face on the divorce papers.

      She has the maturity of a ten year old. Now we know who she markets too.

      • Snowpea says:

        I KNOW, right?

        I have been reading so much on Co$ that last night I had dreams all night about Suri Cruise, ships, beatings and fucking scary shit. I kid you not.

        *shudders*

        Seriously, I am obsessed. But since this is on a KP thread, I’ll say, she has a really cute figure ; )

  21. Jill says:

    Not my favorite Marchesa dress. I like some of them but this one is ugly. That bottom is yuck! That gold trim, or whatever you call it, looks like something from the rolls you get at the hobby store. And then that poofy tulle on the chest? This dress is overdone and a bit gaudy.

  22. Emma says:

    I love her make up and what she’s wearing.

  23. lower-case deb says:

    this is a testament of how i should probably go get a vacation from the internet for a while. i suddenly see shades of katie holmes and nicole kidman in the pictures of katy perry above.

    is this brainwashing?

    *bangs head against keyboard*

  24. UniqJaz says:

    “Babies can’t have babies. Im still a baby.”….If your still a baby, then why did you get married?

    • Elle says:

      I agree. I know 27 year old women who are incredibly accomplished and have child/ren! She needs to grow up.

  25. Az says:

    Of course the dress is fug and ice-capadey. It’s Marchesa!

  26. jesstar says:

    Ugh. Barf.

  27. Jover says:

    The amount of money spent marketing this twit and to think of all the real artists that struggle – she is detestable and laughable and so is the “music” industry – tell me something, in order to watch this movie do you have to bring your own high chair and baby rattle or are those provided – I’m astonished that the unabashed greed in this escapade is not blasted, but is celebrated except by the blogosphere including this one.

  28. Palefire says:

    Ughh goth barbie go away. She is so corny to me. Her voice is so bad and her “music”
    Real female artists to me= Annie Hardy & Fever Ray, & Santigold… She’s just a Britney for this generation trying to look like Megan fox with tons of kitsch.

  29. april says:

    I liked her in recent interviews on tv. I like her outfit in this photo because it seems authentic of who she is. I think she looks very pretty and her hair and makeup look great.

  30. Lisa says:

    How f–king bored do you have to be to sit through that? I’d rather pluck my nipple hair.

  31. Ally says:

    I agree this bait and switch theory is daft. He could find a hundred fame-hos to bear his kids. It’s absurd to pick a rising pop star and expect her to drop everything to be a full-time womb.

    If we’re gonna generalize, I would say it’s a weird modern guy thing to want impressive arm candy, not just stunning but successful, and then expect her to renounce all her power and be reduced to her most basic biological function in your service.

    Children are a commitment you can’t get out of. If he wasn’t prepared to stick out the marriage, I doubt Perry regrets not committing to a lifetime of shared parenthood with such a flake. It was mature of her to realize they weren’t mature enough to have children.

  32. skuddles says:

    I think the dress is just weird and ugly but I am loving her shoes!

  33. Shannon says:

    As someone said earlier about her “babies can’t have babies…I’m still a baby…” You know what else babies can’t do? Get married, hold down a career (however deserved it may be). But she was right – I’m quite sure some simple testing would put her a the level of an 8 year old. It’s the only way to explain the bizarre candy/sugar thing..wanting to grow up to be Princess Frostine in Candyland…and that voice…ugh…

  34. Snarkalopigus says:

    Uh hate to break this to you Katy, but at 27 you’re no “baby”, you’re a grown ass adult.

    Seriously don’t care if she wants to reproduce or not, but that reason is borderline delusional.

  35. Kim says:

    Not a fan at all but I think this is the best she has ever looked. Her hair color finally suits her.

  36. tmnt says:

    I thought Katy’s text was funny and had a point. She’s saying she’s not ready yet, not mature yet. Okay. There could be a nicer way of doing it but Brand did suggest they name their kids after Ronald McDonald, which is can’t possibly be anything but a joke.
