2011 MTV Video Music Awards: Who Wore What? Katy Perry in Atelier Versace

Katy Perry in Atelier Versace: Asiana Mini!!! Fully sequined (by hand, thank you VERY MUCH!! It's Atelier Versace!! The brand's version of Haute Couture and probably estimated at costing approximately $30,000-40,000, if not more, if she were to actually buy it). Katy loves short beaded dresses, as I know--since she "honored" me not too long ago by wearing one of my NIKOLAKI sequined mini dresses! I think she looks sooo cute, the dress fits her just right (I think it was custom made for her) and I love that she finished off the ASIANA theme with a Japanese-style umbrella and cherry blossom flowers in her pink hair. She looks like the Hostess at a VERY UPSCALE version of Hollywood's Yamashiro Restaurant!

Red Carpet Report: "The Smurfs in 3D" World Premiere

"The Smurfs in 3D" Movie Premiere BLUE Carpet:

Katy Perry in a Custom The Blonds corset (with her character in crystals across the front) and matching White Ruffle Skirt

"The Smurfs in 3D" Movie Premiere occurred in NYC on Sunday at the Ziegfield Theater. Naturally instead of a Red Carpet, it was Blue...Smurf Blue! Miss Katy Perry attended wearing a custom crystal strapless bustier dress designed by The Blonds (Phillipe & David Blond, NYC-based fashion and costume designers for Kylie, Beyoncé, Miley, Adam Lambert, Britney). They created other looks for Miss Katy in the past but this one had a very special sequined "Smurfette" emblazoned across the front. I thought she looked very cute! Loved her hair and make-up as well as her Blue Louboutins!

Actress Jayma Mays wore a very simple apple-green strapless mini-dress by NYC-based designer (and red carpet fave) Reem Acra. Very apropos for the event and quite striking.

"Modern Family" Latina-Fabulosa, Sofia Vergara showed up in a floor-length violet-colored strapless gown from Missoni Resort 2012, featuring hints of that fashion house's iconic "zig-zag" print motif.

And then...Guess who was also there? Yep, that's Tim Gunn!! With The Smurfs!! Oh Tim, he just finished taping the newest season (Season 9) of Project Runway which begins airing this Thursday night on Lifetime. Tim's BIG ear-to-ear smile lets me know he probably was just happy it was all over!!! Those 14-hour shoot days can get to you! (trust me, been there/done that!). Oh, and yes, by the way, Tim look dashing as always on the blue carpet and can't wait to see his guest starring role in the movie!

Gloria Estefan and X Factor

Gloria Estefan, The Queen of Latin Pop, in X Factor

Gloria Estefan on stage

Gloria Estefan, Cubian American singer, made a surprise visit to the Miami auditions for the US version of The X Factor. She lives in the exclusive Star section of the island of Miami Beach and appears on the stage to say few words to stimulate the audiences.

The Dr Beat singer unexpectedly turned up at the Bank United Center on April 9,2011 and gave words of encouragement to over 7500 pop hopefuls waiting to see producers. She told the auditionees: "I hope all of you have a great day and remember to go all out! You've got one shot - one chance, so make sure you give it your all.

"Be yourself, the only thing you can offer is originality to the world. There's a lot of great singers and dancers but you have to do what makes you unique. Good luck and make Miami proud!"

Estefan's sudden appearance surprised show boss Simon Cowell too. In a conference call with various journalists, Mr.Cowell said: "I had no idea she (Gloria) was going to be there but apparently she did a fantastic job & She gave everyone a lot of support and encouragement. Not a lot of people would bother to do that."

During the conversation, Cowell also confirmed Fergie (Black Eyed Peas star) had been considered for a spot on the judging panel but he only reveals her name as "put forward." Cowell recently has said that it has become very tough deciding who should join him and confirmed judge LA Reid on the panel.

"The truth is that the reason we haven't announced the panel yet is that nobody can agree. New people keep coming along every week who we want to see," he said.

Nicole Scherzinger, Jessica Simpson and Katy Perry are thought be in the panel of judges in the competition. The US X Factor is set to be aired this autumn on Fox.

Katy Perry wearing NIKOLAKI Press: People.com, InStyle.com

Katy Love...

I was so excited when THE ONE and ONLY Katy Perry wore our NIKOLAKI lilac sequined silk chiffon one-shoulder cocktail dress to her PURR Fragrance Launch in Mexico City this past weekend that well, it was 'icing on the cake" to see some sites give some "Nikolaki-Katy Perry" Shout Out's. First, InStyle.com, one of my FAVE sites has THIS, and also...

People Magazine's site did a fun "Three Dresses In One Day" Poll. Just so you are on the "up-and-up": Miss Katy actually wore THREE Dresses for the Launch (Outfit-change DIVA!). Below is the site's Headline:

Katy Perry Wears NIKOLAKI Spring 2011 at New Purr Fragrance Launch!!!

Katy wears NIKOLAKI!

PURR-Gorgeous: Katy Perry in NIKOLAKI Spring 2011, New Launch of Purr by Katy Perry Fragrance Mexico City

Well kids, my NIKOLAKI design partner, David Paul and I barely touched down in LA from our whirlwind of a quick trip to showcase our Collection in San Antonio Texas at the SUPER-fabulous Alteza Penthouse when we found out that...

The ONE and ONLY Katy Perry wore one of our Spring 2011 Collection dresses to the Launch of her new Purr Fragrance in one of my favorite cities: Mexico City! It's a lilac silk chiffon hand-beaded sequin paillette one-shoulder cap-sleeved cocktail mini dress with a cowl-draped front. Of course, we think she looked AMAZING! Love the jet-black "pin-up" model hair and STOMPING heels!
