Nothing is louder and more outlandish than Katy Perry’s music — except, of course, her fashion sense. Rainbows, kittens, smiley faces and all the saccharine trappings of the pop star’s Technicolor universe are present in the eye-opening ensembles of her Prismatic World Tour, made by top designers from some of the most famous and fantastical brands in fashion. Here’s a sample of Perry’s best looks from the tour, which touched down Wednesday at Madison Square Garden.

Katy Purry

Butterfly effect

Happy camper
It’s nothing but smiles as Perry dons a Jeremy Scott costume.INFphotoJeremy Scott, the king of camp and Moschino’s creative director, used the brand’s classic smiley face motif for a bustier Perry wears with a yellow biker jacket and peace-sign-print leggings paired with a slime-green wig. The outfit comes off as an ode to ’90s Nickelodeon.
Finale bang

Perry belts her irrepressible anthem in glittering garb by New York-based designer Todd Thomas — a bodysuit sewn with firework-print dress panels as big and thunderous as the show itself.
