Katy Perry, the singer/songwriter known both for her original, sexy fashion choices as well as her bold lyrics, had the last laugh on Saturday night, March 27th at Nickelodeon’s live telecast of the 23rd Annual Kids’ Choice Awards hosted by Kevin James.
Presenters at the awards show are traditionally “slimed” – that is, they are blasted with globs of green goo, to the delight of the audience. But Katy had a secret weapon: her custom dress from Syren. She personally selected the outfit, made of yellow latex with hand-cut metallic blue daisies appliqués, because it meant the slime would literally roll right off her back.
“Latex is probably the only fabric in the world that could carry you from the red carpet, through getting slimed, and on to the after party and still keep you comfortable – and glamorous – the entire time,” said Ann-Marie Holman, of Syren. “Katy could simply wipe off the slime with a sponge, or she could have just taken a shower in the dress to make it as good as new. And the dress was perfect for her: it flattered every curve but was still appropriate for a kid-friendly show. With the sunny yellow and the blue flowers to match her electric blue pinup girl wig, she looked like a lovely comic book character.”
