The original California Gurl divorced her husband of 14 months, comedian Russell Brand, late last year — and she hasn’t really looked back. 2012 saw the re-release of her mega-selling album Teenage Dream, repackaged as Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, and the album’s sixth No. 1 single, ‘All of Me’ — as well as the premiere of her 3D concert film/biopic Katy Perry: Part of Me, which received surprisingly decent notices and grossed $30 million worldwide. But most internet readers probably noticed her endless supply of eye-popping outfits, from the “blue-haired She-Ra” getup she wore at the 2012 Grammy awards to the skintight latex ballot dress she squeezed into for an Obama campaign rally in October.
