Katy Perry: 2000
"I love pinups," Katy Perry has told InStyle. "I've taken a lot of direction from those girls in cute little outfits caught in flirtatious situations--with a dog leash tangled around their legs and their skirts blowing up." For the multi-platinum singer this means blunt bangs, flawless cat eyes and Vargas girl lips. But as the dress-up queen has also posed as Queen's mustachioed Freddie Mercury, a denizen of Candy Land (in her "California Gurls" video) and as a variety of high school archetypes (at this year's Teen Choice Awards), it's safe to say we can expect some exciting new looks from the Teenage Dream star: "I can't always be a Betty Boop girl, or I'd want to jump off the Hollywood sign."

Perry's Grammy Awards look was inspired by her outfit. "Katy's look was angelic, sparkly and ethereal," said her makeup artist Jake Bailey. "I wanted to play off the textures in the dress and wings." He swept lavender cream eye shadow across the lid and followed with a dusting of springy green shadow on the bottom lashline. (Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic)
