Katy Perry’s LED Dress: When Good Ideas Go Bad
Katy Perry is known for her outrageous and bold fashion choices, and her dress at the 2010 Met Gala was no exception. The dress was designed to incorporate 24,000 LED lights, and it was intended to light up the red carpet. While the idea was certainly unique and innovative, the execution of the dress left much to be desired.
The rope lights sewn into the dress were clearly visible, which detracted from the overall aesthetic of the dress. The dress looked cheap and poorly constructed, which is not the look one would expect to see at such a prestigious event. If the dress had been executed differently, with individual bulbs sprinkled throughout the dress, it may have been more elegant and sophisticated. Unfortunately, this dress looked more like a Halloween costume than a high fashion statement. While we commend Katy Perry for her willingness to take risks with her fashion choices, this dress missed the mark. Perhaps she will have better luck with her next bold fashion statement.
