Katy Perry chose a vintage Bob Mackie gown for the “Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter and Love” special celebration in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
The singer wore a black mermaid-style gown from the veteran designer, which had an asymmetric neckline and was adorned from top-to-bottom in shimmering chains. Perry’s ensemble gave a winter-ready spin to red-carpet dressing, with a fur-lined hood. Her hair, which was styled in 1920s finger waves, brought together her vintage look. Perry’s longtime stylist Tatiana Waterford helped dress the singer for the event.
