Yesterday
Katy Perry and her new bestie
Riff Raff gifted the world with their remix of
KP’s “This Is How We Do.”
While this move was, no question, unexpected, the two have more in
common than you might think. Really! Perry and Jody Highroller not only
share at least one friend, designer Jeremy Scott, they’ve also shown the
same level of appreciation for ~out there~ fashion choices, especially
over the past few years.
Aside from the cornrows they both fearlessly rock
in the remix’s artwork,
Katy and Riff have been on the same sartorial wavelength when it comes
to their love of food fashion, animal prints, and the fact that they
spend all of their free time searching the dark corners of Tumblr for
style inspiration. We rounded up all of the times the two dressed alike.
I
Katy Perry and Riff Raff are both brave when it comes to their
hairstyles—especially when it comes to color. The best part of their
green hues? How much it brought out the blue in their eyes.
Watermelon
Before there was
Beyonce’s “Drunk in Love,”
Katy Perry was championing the then-underrated fruit in the form of a
romper she wore on NBC’s “Today.” Riff Raff obviously took note of the
fruit’s wearable potential—or the pair have some kind of telepathic
connection (*fingers crossed*)—because he recently posted a photo of
himself in a full watermelon getup.
Bananas
If you put Katy and Riff Raff in a grocery store, chances are they’d
go straight to the produce aisle. Their love of fruit also includes
bananas, which they’ve both translated into outfits. Katy wore a bonkers
banana jumpsuit at
the 2008 VMAs, complete with banana gloves, and Riff Raff somehow found a way to one-up her with a full banana outfit.
Cookies
Clearly both Katy and Riff have sweet tooths (teeth?). They’ve even
channeled their fondness for sugar in similar cookie clothing items.
Katy first wore hers back in 2010, a chocolate-chip-printed mini dress I
wish was still for sale, and Riff recently stepped out in (heh) a pair
of cookies ’n cream socks.
Something Fishy
Katy and Riff’s love of food knows no bounds, even when it comes to,
uh, things that aren’t typically associated with clothing like fish.
They’ve both put their love of the deep sea on display with their
clothing. Riff wore a muscle tee with fish bait printed all over it
while Katy went an even bolder route, wearing a bodysuit covered with
sushi.
Long Live Seapunk
Given their love of fish, it’s pretty appropriate that they both got
in on the short-lived (or is it? see: Frank Ocean) micro-scene that
landed on the nation’s radar after Rihanna used Seapunk visuals during
her SNL performance. Katy wore her blue-dyed hair with
a blue Ellie Saab gown to the 2012 Grammys while Riff more recently dyed his braids “blueberry” blue.
Animal Prints
Friends to the animals, Katy Perry and Riff Raff both love their wild
prints. Riff Raff, known for his fondness for snakeskin (and his pet
snake, amazingly named Versace), has worn everything from a serpent
print to every kind of wild cat print all at once. Meanwhile Katy showed
just how far her dedication to animal prints goes in
her “Roar” video.
Bucket Hats
Katy and human MTV logo Riff Raff love a ’90s trend—bucket hats are
no exception. Not surprisingly, Riff prefers his bucket hat to be
logo-centric, with Louis Vuitton’s monogram print all over. Katy, on the
other hand, opted for a tribal bucket hat a couple of weeks ago. As for
who wore it better, we’ll let you be the judge of that
