The jungle lady image hasn’t been phased out as of yet as Katy Perry continued to promote her song Roar at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. The 28-year-old gave the paparazzi enough material as she gamely posed for them before disappearing backstage to prepare for her show. Katie performed eight songs, including her hits “I Kissed a Girl,” “California Girls,” and “Firework.”

The singer was photographed wearing a forest-themed outfit, complete with an animal silhouette neck cuff and braids that hinted at an Amazon hairstyle. Katie wore a rose-printed neoprene dress from Faith Connexion, which she dressed up with the slinky, snakelike button calf sandals from Versace‘s Spring/Summer 2011 collection that we’ve also spotted on Chloë Grace Moretz. As per usual, the performer was all about long lashes and deep red lips.

Criticizing Katy Perry’s eccentric wardrobe is the same as criticizing Lady Gaga’s or Madonna’s — you just can’t. Dressing up in such an eclectic manner plays a major factor in how they rose to the top to become such acclaimed artists; to take a swipe at that would be to destroy what makes these celebrities so special. Obviously, this look would crumble to pieces on a corporate person, so we advise just sticking to the understated rose-print dress, and leave the rest of the animals at the zoo.
