Whoa! Crazy Outfits That Have Taken To The Main Stage

Katy Perry has retired her famous spinning peppermint dress after it was established it was a safety hazard.

The outfit was put to bed after it emerged that Perry’s hair often got tangled in its spinning bra feature.

Katy told The Sun: "My hair got caught in the wheels of my spinning peppermint bra and began to coil around and around. I'm forced to just go with it so, by the end of the song, it looked quite like I was licking my own [bleep]. What a girl does for her art."

We’ll miss our favourite finger lickingly good outfit but in the spirit of things we’ve come up with some crazy performers who have donned wacky outfits on the main stage.

Britney Spears

Britney famously performed her hit song I’m a Slave 4 U at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards with an albino python around her neck. The performance went off without a hit and Britney looked amazing but a python? Really?

Dita Von Teese

The girl who made burlesque mainstream is famous for all sexy sorts but her stage outfits are her huge draw. In 2007, the singer appeared nude on stage in a huge martini glass. We bet the audience enjoyed that one!

Lady Gaga

Gaga is famous for her crazy outfits but this blood red lace dress and facemask is a bit too mad, even for the VMAs! The Born This Way singer accepted her award and took off the annoying headgear to thank ‘God and the gays’!

Madonna

Madonna’s Jean Paul Gaultier became an iconic image when the Like A Virgin singer emerged in the outfit in 1990.

Gene Simmons

The Kiss rocker is known for his crazy gimmicks, stage makeup and freakishly long tongue. This guy must spend a bomb on white and black make-up. We’d love a sneak peak into his collection.
