Webelow Wear

It was a battle of the wearable outfits on last night’s MTV Movie Awards. Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera both sported an LED design and literaly lit up the stage. At first glance we weren’t sure if Perry was keeping up with her last wearable design, but upon closer inspection she was just keeping it simple. Light up daisy dukes and pink top? Why not! Glitter is so passé.

Xtina may have taken the top and very naughty position however. While a bit more subtle with just a simple white light in the palm of each fingerless glove, it was the growing heart crotch shot that may have gotten your attention. Considering her new album name – Bionic – we may see a lot more wearable designs from Xtina. We cannot wait!

What’s a wearable upgrade?  It’s taking any clothing or accessory and adding some element of wearable technology to the design.  Still not clear? Take Rhianna’s Alexandre Vauthier jacket and dress illuminated and developed by innovative fashion designer  Mortiz Waldemeyer .

The couture dress uses a combination of compressed gas systems  and video capable LED circuits to light up the stage (and her dress) with a moving light sequence . 

Just a week after Katy Perry’s CuteCircuit gown, Rhianna may have upped the ante.

Biggest red carpet faux pas: wearing  the same outfit as someone else.  Katy Perry, of course, had nothing to worry at last night’s MET Gala.  Infact, the spotlight was on her CuteCircuit couture gown with flowing silk chiffon and over 3000 LEDs creating a rainbow of colours shimmering around her.  

Our vote: the best way to show up the celeb-competition at the Oscars of Fashion.
