In her &#8220;Chained to the Rhythm&#8221; music video, Perry takes viewers on a wild ride. In addition to the avant garde fashion choices, the music video also notably features Bob Marley&#8217;s grandson, Skip Marley. Directed by Matthew Hullen, the video focuses on Katy Perry at an amusement park called Oblivia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-clear-vinyl-and-latex.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-7877\" src=\"http:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-clear-vinyl-and-latex-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-clear-vinyl-and-latex-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-clear-vinyl-and-latex-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-clear-vinyl-and-latex-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-clear-vinyl-and-latex.jpg 1541w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>To create the saccharine sweet looks, fashion stylist and costume designer B. Akerlund worked as a stylist for the video. B. Akerlund also worked magic with music videos like &#8220;Hold Up&#8221; for Beyonce and &#8220;MILF&#8221; for Fergie. For \u201cChained to the Rhythm\u201d, the designer\u2019s inspiration included making creations for Katy Perry as a &#8220;futuristic Marilyn Monroe&#8221;. Out of the entire video, we\u2019d have to say, one of the biggest stand out pieces is a show-stopping latex number.<\/p>\n<p>With a retro inspired touch, the video creates an interesting blend of nostalgia and modernism. Katy smolders in various latex and vinyl looks, including a chic futuristic piece with a clear vinyl hood. With a bold design, Katy looks ultra sleek in a latex catsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring a mockneck style, the reflective sheen of the fabric creates a theatrical effect. Perry glowed in the video, complete with soft platinum blonde waves, thick arched brows and pink eyeshadow. \u201cFor the last look, that was another custom piece I did with Christopher Bu. She&#8217;s wearing a Latex catsuit under it. Originally there was only one look allocated for the video, but I was like, &#8220;Oh, no way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I usually like to create a formula when I&#8217;m working, and for this world, it was very pastel and plastic. I just felt like that instantly took you to the future. I was referring back to the &#8217;50s a bit, too, because it was so stylized. Every piece of fabric had a sheen or plastic on it.\u201d B. Akerlund said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter about the piece.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like her whole purpose for this video was to open people&#8217;s eyes to how we&#8217;re all chained to this rhythm \u2014 our life, social media and what other people think. I worked with a lot of restriction within the costumes. You can&#8217;t see it, but there&#8217;s a lot of hard bodices.\u201d B. Akerlund added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was trying to restrict the talent because that was the reality. We don&#8217;t live a perfect world and we have a lot of restrictions. I tried to use that in my styling to reflect the tone of the video. A lot of people were not comfortable, but I said, &#8220;Look, this is what we gotta do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Written by <span class=\"il\">Jade<\/span> Nicolette<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-7869 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/Katy-Perry-Chained-to-the-Rhythm-vinyl-outfit.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/Katy-Perry-Chained-to-the-Rhythm-vinyl-outfit-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-clear-vinyl-and-latex.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-clear-vinyl-and-latex-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-metallic-vinyl-raincoat-clear-pvc-latex.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-metallic-vinyl-raincoat-clear-pvc-latex-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-clear-vinyl-raincoat-and-black-latex-catsuit.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-clear-vinyl-raincoat-and-black-latex-catsuit-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-chained-rhythm-promo-pics.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/blog\/2017\/05\/katy-perry-chained-rhythm-promo-pics-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<hr \/><h3>Matching Products:<\/h3><p><div style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mjtrends.com\/products.Black,.30mm,Latex-Sheeting\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/product\/902\/natural-black-latex-sheeting_370x280.jpg\" width=\"200\" alt=\"Stretchy black latex sheeting.\" class \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black .30mm<\/p><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">$13.99<\/p><\/div><div style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mjtrends.com\/products.Clear,clear-vinyl-material-6-gauge,Fabric\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/product\/1900\/clear-transparent-vinyl-sheeting-material_370x280.jpg\" width=\"200\" alt=\"Clear transparent vinyl sheeting material\" class \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clear clear vinyl material 6 gauge<\/p><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">$3.99<\/p><\/div><div style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mjtrends.com\/products.Vinyl,Adhesive,Notions\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mjtrends.b-cdn.net\/images\/product\/2403\/vinyl-adhesive_370x280.jpg\" width=\"200\" alt=\"Adhesive for vinyl sheeting, PVC fabric, or PU fabric.\" class \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vinyl Adhesive<\/p><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">$14.50<\/p><\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pop sensation Katy Perry is known for her unique taste in fashion, and she isn&#8217;t afraid to show it.
