Perry patriotic for sailor gig

Star in stripes ... Katy Perry wears dress inspired by US banner

 

KATY Perry went all patriotic for a gig — donning an American flag dress to perform in front of sailors. 

 

The special show was held in their honour and the I Kissed A Girl singer, 27, was the star attraction.

Her appearance was part of waterfront event Fleet Week in New York.
It marks a US tradition that sees military ships dock in major cities so the crew can take in the sights.
Katy told her followers of the event, writing: “Sea men dock their vessels in the great city of Nyc to experience the land from whence they came. I’m about to give them a show! fleet week.”
Katy’s stars and stripes garment is the latest in a long line of wacky outfits.
Last August, the singer graced the premiere of The Smurfs in a specially made Smurfette dress.

The songbird had lent her voice to the blue cartoon character — and what better way to show that off by having her on your clothes.
In December 2010 she donned a toy soldier costume to perform at the Jingle Ball in New York.

In 2001 she sported a light-blue latex dress with ice cream cones for a concert in Berlin, Germany.

By comparison the all-pink combo — dress, jacket AND hair — she wore at the MTV Europe Music Awards last year were almost normal.
