Is Katy Perry Having A Fashion Renaissance?

The release of the 2010 album Teenage Dream was not only a defining moment in music, but for Katy Perry’s style. The cupcake top and whipped cream bra from the California Gurls music video are inarguably iconic, and her candy-themed tour wardrobe cemented her as a sartorial boundary-pusher.

While she continued releasing music over the next decade, upon dropping the lolly-inspired garb, Perry’s status as a trend setter fell by the wayside and her ensembles out of the headlines (aside from that time she wore a hamburger to the Met Gala).

However, ahead of the release of her sixth studio album, Perry has stepped back into the spotlight—with a whole new wardrobe.

The singer’s style renaissance may have been brought sharply into focus thanks to recent, viral appearances at Paris Couture Week; but Perry’s sartorial comeback has been brewing in the back of our feeds for some time. Ahead, look back at some of the pop star’s best new looks that you probably missed.
