Katy Perry's VOGUE Photo Diary
Quote:
|
Decked out in a “Katy Doodle Dandy” costume and Oscar de la Renta, respectively, the always candid Katy Perry performed at the Kids’ Inaugural Concert and Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C.—and in her very personal, very political photo diary she takes Vogue.com behind the scenes of her entire weekend. Follow her as she (and John Mayer) go from backstage to the swearing-in to the White House after-party.

Landed and headed straight to the Kids’ Inaugural Concert rehearsal. Happy to have my trusty-dusty American flag bling mic by Erin Lareau.

Gotta get sleep in when I can. Sweet inaugural dreams from the Ritz.

Quick workout in my favorite Rodarte hoodie. Keeping the heart rate up for the kids.

Bumped into a pup after my own heart. She must belong to some chic senator’s wife, I imagine!

Arrived at the venue for the Kids’ Inaugural. Pleased with how my Katy Doodle Dandy costume came out. Cartoon Katy coming in full effect soon. Designed by me and Johnny Wujek. Built by J&M Costumers.

The treasurer of the United States handed me a $2 bill and signed her name above her own printed signature. Lucky me!

Ready to hit the town in my Tory Burch jacket, Christian Louboutin bag, and Sutra earrings.

Literally drinking history. Flight of wines from the year 1800 to 1977. Oh, and a sidecar.

Met a former Secret Service agent and he presented me with a challenge coin, which I heard can help you with your bar tab. Don’t know if it’s gonna work at this fancy restaurant.

On Sunday I visited the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. So moved by the amount of sacrifice I saw today! Hung on the wall is a motivating message to passersby.

These bands were given to me by some incredibly brave soldiers I met today.

Thank you for an inspiring day, Walter Reed hospital.

After a much-needed nap I got ready to go on the Inaugural Ball stage in my Oscar de la Renta dress! The dress made me feel like Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

The performance was a ball, every pun intended! Got to catch up with the beauty that is Alicia Keys backstage before having our picture taken with POTUS and FLOTUS.

Last-minute primp before the photo call and, later, meeting the Obamas! Lighting assistant was a major cutie.
