The custom silver Swarovski crystal-covered mini dress had a matching collar and clear Swarovski crystals dripping down the bodice. She balanced a chandelier corset around her waist and a matching smaller chandelier as a headpiece.
On the carpet, Perry said the power source that kept the chandelier lit was “her heart.”
Perry worked closely with designer Jeremy Scott for Moschino on creating both of her looks for the exhibit, confirming that the designer also created her hamburger look on herInstagram story.

“When this exhibition [“Camp: Notes on Fashion”] was announced, she [Perry] was like, ‘Oh my God, can you believe it? It’s all about you!’” Scott told theNew York Post‘sPage Sixbefore the gala. “And frankly, there probably isn’t a performer in pop history that’s used camp and humor more than she has. I have guesses at what people expect from us, but I’m trying to outdo those expectations. It’s going to be an eleganza extravaganza.”
