Katy Perry is no stranger to outrageous looks. She may not be as outlandish as Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, or Miley Cyrus, but this girl is definitely not scared to sport out-of-the-ordinary ensembles.

At the launch of her new scent called “Killer Queen,” the pop star looked quirky with her checkered Alice + Olivia skirt and blazer topped with an oversized silk bow tie.

Available on Amazon, Killer Queen by Katy Perry is a floral, fruity gourmand fragrance for women. The nose behind this fragrance is Laurent Le Guernec.

The top notes are dark berries, plum, and bergamot; the middle notes are red velvet flower, rainbow plumeria, and jasmine sambac; the base notes are praline, patchouli, and cashmere.

The two-piece checkered number can be pretty cute separately, but they are too much when worn together. Add the black over-the-knee socks, and Katy looked like a Gothic schoolgirl.

But given the name of her new perfume and the whole setting for the event, Katy’s dark schoolgirl look may also be the perfect thing for the affair.
