As mentioned in our blog earlier in the week, Sunday saw celebrities hitting the red carpet in LA for the MTV video awards. One of the stand out looks for the evening was Katy Perry and and rapper Riff Raff in outfits made from denim Dress Fabrics. Katy was paying homage to the infamous denim outfit worn to the 28th Annual American Music Awards in 2001 by Britney Spears and her then boyfriend, Justin Timberlake. Katy Perry said she would give 'her best impression' at the awards and her look was approved by Britney herself who tweeted to the singer. Her tweet said, 'Just as I thought the denim dress was retired…you bring it back! You looked amazing tonight…'

Both Britney and Katy's outfits were made from a number of different shades of denim Dress Fabrics to create a patchwork effect. Both popstars accessorised this with a denim bag and silver belt. Along the denim patch edges of Katy's dress, silver stud work was used to accent the different shades. Katy's rumoured boyfriend Riff Raff wore a denim suit similar to Justin's to complete the homage. His suit also featured silver stud work which gave the suit a bit of 'bling'.
If you are feeling brave and want to recreate this look for yourself our washed denim Dress Fabrics would be ideal for this dress. This comes in a few different shades which would allow you to create the same patchwork effect as Katy and Britney. This is also a suitable weight for a dress as rather than a heavy denim suitable for jeans. Who do you think wore it best? We would love to hear your opinions on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
