Katy Perry will be the focus of a new display at Los Angeles’ Grammy Museum celebrating some of the most iconic fashion moments of her career. The exhibit, titled “Katy Perry Frock & Roll: Transforming Music and Fashion,” will open on Nov. 7, the same day Perry kicks off her three-night run at L.A.’s Staples Center as part of her ongoing “Witness” tour. The exhibit will be on display on the Museum’s third floor through spring 2018.
The costumes and wardrobe pieces on display include her Grammy performance and red carpet pieces; outfits from her 151-date Prismatic World Tour, during which she played to 2 million people; and the number she wore when headlining the Super Bowl XLIX halftime show, which remains the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show to date.

Katy Perry will ring in the new year in Abu Dhabi. The US pop star has been announced to perform at Yas Island’s du Arena on December 31. The news marks the Abu Dhabi debut for the 33-year-old (real name Katheryn Hudson) whose previous UAE shows have been limited to Dubai. Her last appearance was in 2015 where she performed as part of the Dubai Air Show exclusive gala dinner at Atlantis The Palm.
Perry returns to the UAE on the back of her latest album Witness. Released in June, the album has been well received, having topped numerous international album charts in addition producing the hits Chained to the Rhythm and Swish Swish.
With each world tour boasting elaborate production tying with album’s theme, Perry’s latest show is now different. Her latest stage design has a large eye shaped screen with Perry and her crew dancing over various stage platforms and in one case a floating cuboid. During her present North American tour, Perry was also spotted riding onto the stage on a motorcycle. On the fashion front, Perry’s stage wardrobe is characteristically bold. Her costumes include a sparkling hooded red-dress, there are also an array of pantsuits and leatherjackets while her backing singers wear dresses of different shapes and in one section paper doll cut outs.
Born in Santa Barbara, Perry initially launched her music career as gospel singer in 2001 before moving towards pop music after the failure of her 2001 debut Katy Hudson. Hooking up with top songwriters Max Martin and Dr Luke, the singer released her second album, 2008’s One of the Boys which was home to the hits I Kissed a Girl and Hot’n’Cold. Her follow up albums 2010’s Teenage Dream and 2013’s Prism saw her perfecting her brand of colourful and exuberant pop with anthems California Gurls and Roar.
Perry’s Abu Dhabi date follow’s Coldplay’s successful new year’s eve concert at Du Arena last year which saw over 20,000 fans in attendance. Tickets start from Dh350 and will go on sale at 12pm Wednesday, 8 November at www.ticketmaster.ae and Virgin Megastores across the UAE. For more details go to www.thinkflash.ae

With 67 million followers on Instagram and 100 million on Twitter, this CoverGirl brand ambassador certainly has the widest reach. But she doesn’t care if you use the products she’s promoting or not — as long as you’re true to yourself.
“Obviously, if you don’t first and foremost have that self-love and self-confidence, there’s no highlighter in the world [that can give it to you],” Perry told R29 last year. “There are a lot of people who walk into a room wearing no makeup, but they just have such a presence and an energy. It’s very powerful, but I don’t discriminate against a person that you can slice through their face because they’re wearing so much makeup.”

Katy Perry is taking fans behind the scenes. In a new feature-length special named Katy Perry: Will You Be My Witness? (premiering on YouTube Red on Oct. 4), Perry will share the idea behind her surprise four-day live stream, Katy Perry: Witness World Wide, which the superstar filmed back in June.
Not to mention, fans will get to see the Witness singer’s reaction to the entire weekend-long stream once the cameras stopped rolling. And for those who missed out on the experience over the summer, the YouTube Red special will also highlight the stream’s conversations on gender, politics, spirituality and diversity, along with Perry, 32, discussing her life in the spotlight.
Celebrity guests James Corden, Sia, Caitlyn Jenner, Gordon Ramsay, Anna Kendrick, America Ferrera and Perry’s pup, Nugget, are all set to make appearances in the special.
