Katy's charmingly awkward alter ego Kathy Beth Terry gets a glam '80s-tastic makeover in her 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)' music video, and we found all the tools you'll need to achieve one of your own. Slip into a whole lot of neon in this Hermes Kelly magenta crop top and lime green skirt (or this one), right down to the mis-matched patent pumps (don't worry, the heels are the same height, so you won't be wobbly!). Swipe on some colorful frosted makeup, envelope your teased up crimpy 'do in a cloud of Aqua Net (for authenticity), and don't forget your party cup!
2. VMA CUBE

Assuming you're not down to drop coin on the real deal Christian Dior Fall 2011 couture yellow block hat look that Katy wore to this year's VMAs, we rounded up everything you need to roll up your DIY sleeves and recreate the look. Start with a light pink boatneck top and a black bell mini as your canvas. On the top, secure a large green felt triangle and smaller yellow circle to the front of the shirt in the style of Katy's Hermes Bags cropped jacket. Cut up these white felt squares into triangles and varied quadrilaterals and cut, sew, or pin onto the skirt for the shattered look of the Dior original. While you're at the craft store, pick up a styrafoam topiary cube, cover it in yellow felt, and fasten the covered cube to a headband. Wear with a bright pink bobbed wig, colorful platform wedges, and you're good to go!
3. E.T. ALIEN

Feeling ambitious? Try your hand at replicating this alien look from Katy's 'E.T.' music video. You'll need a full-body unitard in whatever color matches your skintone best; several feet of black ribbon; a head full of braids, wires and red hair extensions; a steady hand and a LOT of patience. Sew or glue the ribbon into alien patterns onto the unitard to match Katy's, swaddle yourself in red sheer scarfing to mimic the alien Hermes Scarf vestment. Feed wire through the braided wig and red hair extensions to stiffen the locks for Katy's cage-like webbed 'do. Channel your inner Kabuki and finish the look off with a bar of thick red pigment across the eyes and intricate blue patterns drawn in eye pencil on your cheeks and chin and HIT. THE. TOWN.
