Katy Perry always adds her own flair to the red carpet, and she did just that at the NBC special honoring Carol Burnett’s 90th birthday. Perry wore a stunning vintage hooded gown, bringing a touch of old Hollywood glamour to the event. The two-hour television special, filmed at Avalon Hollywood & Bardot on Thursday, celebrated the iconic comedian’s milestone birthday with performances from Perry and other talented artists. As a performer at the event, the 38-year-old singer paid tribute to the legendary comedian and actress.
Katy Perry attended NBC’s Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love birthday special in a stunning hooded black velvet gown. This latest fashion trend has been around since the 1980s, but it’s still making waves among celebrities. The floor-length dress hugged Katy’s figure and featured fur accents on the hood, asymmetric neckline, and mermaid-style hem. Rhinestone crystals adorned the dress, adding a touch of sparkle. The vintage gown was created by American fashion designer Bob Mackie, who was also the costume designer for performers on The Carol Burnett Show. Katy looked absolutely glamorous and elegant in this iconic piece from Mackie’s 1989 Couture collection.
In a recent fashion move, Katy Perry has hopped on the hooded gown trend by sporting a vintage Bob Mackie 1989 gown with fur trims, asymmetrical hem, and rhinestone crystal embellishments. Interestingly, this very same gown was originally designed for American soprano Ann Pangulias for the 1989 San Francisco Opera production of Lulu. Katy’s longtime stylist, Tatiana Waterford, was able to source the dress from women’s vintage boutique Timeless Vixen. To add even more glitz to the outfit, Katy wore a pair of Vera Belleza diamond chandelier earrings and some statement rings, including a $7,000 Marli “Fifth Avenue” diamond ring in white gold. The ensemble was completed with black pointed-toe pumps peeping out from underneath the gown.
Katy Perry rocked a vintage Hollywood glam look, complete with Vera Belleza diamond chandelier earrings and a Marli diamond ring, as she worked with her makeup artist Michael Anthony. The makeup artist opted for a matte pink lipstick, dusty pink blush, and Twiggy-style false eyelashes to create the perfect retro look. To complement her makeup, hairstylist Jesus Guerrero styled Perry’s black hair in sleek 1920s finger waves, completing the classic look.
Katy Perry has nailed the retro look with a combination of matte pink lipstick, Twiggy-style eyelashes, and finger waves hairstyle. In honor of Carol Burnett’s 90th birthday, NBC will air a special program titled “Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love” on April 26 at 8PM ET/PT. The show will also be available for streaming on Peacock the following day. According to the press release, the event will showcase musical performances and appearances by several A-list celebrities who want to express their love for one of TV’s most beloved comediennes. Some of the guests expected to make an appearance include Bernadette Peters, Billy Porter, Jane Lynch, Kristen Chenoweth, Ellen DeGeneres, Amy Poehler, Cher, Tracee Ellis Ross, Sofia Vergara, Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern, Marisa Tomei, Steve Carell, and many others.
On the latest episode of American Idol Season 21, Katy Perry couldn’t help but shed tears as she listened to Trey Louis, a 21-year-old mattress salesman from Santa Fe, Texas, sing a touching rendition of Whiskey Myer’s 2016 song Stone. Trey earned a standing ovation from the judges and shared that he survived the 2018 school shooting at Santa Fe High School. He also revealed that he wants to change people’s negative perception of his hometown through music. Katy Perry’s emotional reaction on the show was followed by her recent red carpet appearance.
During his audition, he shared a traumatic experience that occurred in May 2018. Louis was present at the school when a gunman entered, unleashing his rage on innocent students and teachers, leaving eight students and two teachers dead. As a result, Santa Fe has had a negative reputation since then. Judge Lionel Richie sighed heavily upon hearing this heart-wrenching story. Despite the sorrowful tale, Luke Bryan praised Louis’ voice, acknowledging that he sings from the heart. Katy Perry couldn’t hold back her tears, dropping her head down in emotional response to Louis’ moving story.
The speaker expressed disappointment in the country’s failure and lack of progress regarding a certain issue. Instead of attending an event for the love of music, attendees had to endure a negative experience. The loss of eight friends was unnecessary, and it is important to remind people that change is necessary. The situation has been tolerated for too long, and change needs to happen. The speaker hopes that Louis can take the lead in making this change happen, and Louis has promised to do so for himself, his school, and for the speaker.
