The music video for Katy Perry's new song E.T. featuring rapper Kanye West was released this Thursday and already I'm in love with it. The song itself is great, one of the best off her 'Teenage Dream' album, it's futuristic sound and content just makes me hit that replay button over and over.
But when the video was released my jaw dropped and has stayed there since Thursday! A team of highly talented make-up artist transformed Katy into a beautiful alien with various looks/guises. The sharpness and intricate patterns on her face are just exquisite, Katy recently revealed that it took 5/6 hours to transform her and I can see why.
One of my favorite looks is when her face is painted a gorgeous mix of white, pink and blue with very a delicate pattern on her forehead and bright blue cat eye contacts.. but one of the most amazing parts of this look is the hair. She has these white braids that just seem to defy gravity, I wanna know how they did it!! Would love to have that hairstyle for a fashion event or photo shoot.. would get so much attention! I'm going to find out how they did it, I just have to.
This video has totally re-sparked my interest in futuristic/spacey/avant garde alien fashion, last summer I designed a little 6 piece collection inspired by space travel.. this is really inspiring me at the moment. When I get a chance I might sketch down a few ideas, might do some illustrations. Right, thats enough of my rambling about this.. check out the epic music video for E.T. below. Would love to hear your comments on this too!
