Katy Perry At The 2015 Super Bowl Halftime Show: Wouldn't It Be Awesome If She Resurrected These 15 Stage Costumes?
Katy Perry just scored a serious career touchdown. The singer, who turns 30 this month, is reportedly performing at the 2015 Super Bowl Halftime Show in Arizona, taking the baton most recently passed off by Madonna, Beyonce, and Bruno Mars. Even though Perry had hinted that she was not interested in doing the show because of rumors that the NFL wanted artists to pay-to-play and to engage in some sort of revenue sharing as a result of all the free publicity generated by performing at the big game, it looks like she may have been throwing us off the scent.
A Perry-fronted Halftime Show will be a fun and visual spectacle, that's for damn sure. Here's a rundown of 15 of her most awesome costumes, outfits, and stage attire. Maybe she will resurrect or take inspo from some candy-coated and cartoonish classics for the big show?
American Made
What’s more American than football and the Super Bowl? Nothing, right? Perry, a California Gurl, has been known to show her patriotic side with her stage ensembles.
Sergeant Perry, Reporting For Duty
Perry has also donned military-inspired camo gear throughout her onstage career, as well. This clingy outfit is worth a repeat, especially when all eyes are on her.
Purple Pouf
Perry’s purple pouf dress was majorly memorable. So was her headpiece. If she wants to get all fancy during halftime, this would be the route to go.
Golden (State) Girl
The singer born Katheryn Hudson is a goddess. There’s no really getting around that. She’s gorgeous. She’s funny. She’s talented. She also stole our hearts as a golden goddess.
Who Hearts Katy Perry?
The question should actually be, “Who doesn’t heart Katy Perry?” Her frilly, femme, and heart-shaped bodice was presh, even when paired with an innertube-like bottom half. She’s at her stylish best with this type of goofy-cute outfit.
Blingy Babe
The “I Kissed a Girl” singer doesn’t just go for the gold. Her silvery, shimmery, and body con mini was classic and classy. Something like this would be perfect for the final seconds of her performance, no?
Lady Gaga Would Be Proud
This massive head, um, thing, probably wouldn’t work for the Super Bowl. It’s still a pretty bloom to look at, though.
Katy Perry As Rocky Balboa
Perry closed the 2013 MTV VMAs doing her best Rocky Balboa impression. Since there will be tons of dudes that love sports watching the Big Game, Perry should drag this costume out of the archives and throw haymakers.
Ballot Box
Perry showed her support of President Obama with a latex ballot dress. Maybe she could offer a new riff on this style and wear a frock with the logos and mascots of the two teams that make it to the Super Bowl?
Sexy Schoolgirl
If anyone can pull of the sexy schoolgirl look, it’s Katy Perry. This is another one worth of being repeated, with an amped up cheerleader element.
The Good Ship Lollipop
Perry’s candy-coated, sugary ensembles are a part of her past, but she is perhaps best-known for those styles and looks. Even if she doesn’t go the Katy-as-kandy route, she could easily incorporate giant, sugary props.
Cheerleadin'
Is this too obvious? Okay, just a little, but since Perry’s stage costumes are usually so animated and specifically themed around whatever event at which she is performing, a football cheerleader outfit or a sexy football player will likely be in her repertoire and wardrobe come February 1, 2015.
Meow!
The singer’s love of actual cats and her Katy Cat fans is well-documented. A sparkly, technologically advanced, and futuristic catsuit, or a Katsuit, is a foregone conclusion. Maybe she can do an LED costume?
Major Majorette
The majorette look totally works for the pop diva. It’s hawt and sporty... and Super Bowl-appropriate.
Goth Girl
When K. Perry goes goth, she goes for it, as this red and black outfit deftly demonstrates. When she dons black, her sexiness quotient goes through the roof. Her Halftime outfits will be inherently sexy, especially if something similar to this is incorporated into the mix.
