The Elle US March 2011 Katy Perry editorial is anything but ordinary. The pretty pop star is featured in a [circus-themed spread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-life-of-a-showgirl) where she gets to play dress up. Katy's colorful and casual cover looks nothing like the editorial, but she's chic in an all-[Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-tiger) outfit.

The Elle US March 2011 Katy Perry spread has Katy posing fiercely in a tiger's cage, hanging out with clowns and putting on a bunny mask. The busy spread is fun to look at and has unique fashion inspiration.
