Pelican State: Katy Perry- The One That Got Away

I have to admit- at the moment I am kind of obsessed with this song and music video. Not only is it a beautiful, yet tragic love story- almost everyone can relate to this song. The one you secretly wish you'd married or imagined a life with, but unfortunately it just did not work out. You carried on with your life but never forgot him/her. The song is sad, but catchy and upbeat at the same time.

The music video begins with a much older version of Katy- her make-up was done brilliantly! It is really what I picture her to look like in her 70s- super stylish and well groomed. Her curled bob undoubtedly reminds you of the pink hairstyle she had at this year's Video Music Awards. Throughout the video the older Katy boasts a classy wardrobe- mainly white and ivory with splashes of colour and expensive jewellery. The highlight of her wardrobe is definitely reached as she wears all black to mourn the loss of her true love. Don’t you just love the in a chiffon pussy bow blouse and tailored blazer?

The young Katy’s clothes are very simple and relaxed: stretched-out tees, oversized button up shirts and long black pendants. In one particular scene she mixed prints in a very exciting way by pairing an American flag inspired pants with a nautical striped top and finishing the look with a leather jacket. It does sound a bit crazy, but for some reason it just works. Then there is the fabulous tiered retro party dress- how I would love to own a dress like this. I am also very excited to see that Katy is a brunette again. The blonde and other bright coloured hair was great, but I still prefer the dark brown. She just looks amazing- I love the messy hair style and simple make-up.

Her then-lover is played by Diego Luna (it’s first time I have heard of him too!) and he is just my kind of guy. I love his arty, laid back sense of style with denim shirts, leather jackets and old faded tees. Just look how his beard totally adds to this image.
