Katy Perry
Katy Perry, the new “it” girl with her poppy hit single, “I Kissed a Girl”, has been turning many heads lately. Her dark brown hair and full red-lipsticked lips draw many parallels to Betty Boop, and Katy loves to play up the similarity with her clothing choices. While we all can’t pull it off on a daily basis (and even Katy takes a few fashion spills on the red carpet) dressing up as an iconic fashion figure every once in a while can be a blast. Follow Katy’s lead and try out some Betty Boop style with a few stylish choices:
1. High-Waisted Shorts: American Apparel, my go to store for all things bright, tight, and spandex, has the perfect high-waisted short to start a Betty Boop look. And so many options in patterns and colors, too!
2. Patterned Top: Betty Boop always wanted a top with tiny prints and a lot of va-va-va-voom. This striped grey and white V-neck from American Apparel may be a little modest for ol’ Betty’s tastes, but it’s a safety for those feeling a little self-conscious about the shorts.
3. Red Lips: The signature of any Betty Boop look-alike is pulling off the vampy red lips. Try it in a matte finish; M.A.C. is advertising it’s Viva GLAM original in a saturated red that’s positively sumptuous. M.A.C. offers several variations in hues for Viva GLAM. Make sure you try them all out and get the one that suits your inner Boop.
