Music Video in Review: Katy Perry Wide Awake

Last night Katy Perry's video for Wide Awake premiered on MTV during MTV First: Katy Perry. Katy has several costume changes throughout her dark, fairytale inspired video. The video begins with the filming of her "California Girls" video. As she goes into her dressing room and removes her wig while looking at herself in the mirror, we are taken on this journey of what she says is "kind of like the labyrinth of my life in the last two years." First, we see Katy in a dark purple corseted dress and lacey cape. The dress itself is sheer, very low cut, and seems to only have one lace sleeve. Next, we see her in a beidge dress that has very intricate details such as the butterflies with gold detail and the croquet-looking layered detail. Then Katy is in a wheel chair being pushed by who she claims is the little girl version of herself. While in the wheel chair, she has on a light blue kimono robe which has purple flower detail. She removes the robe once the little girl wards off two "villans" and underneath is another beidge dress. We only get to see the back of this particular dress as she runs out with the little girl. This dress is plain but has some fabric texturing to it. Finally, we move on to her last beidge dress, adorned with criss-crossing rope and colorful faux flowers to match her flowery fairytale garden setting where she punches a so-called prince charming and lives happily ever after.
