Katy Perry Dresses as Mrs. Claus in NYC to Meet Santa—Probably Not On Purpose

The singer is rocking a hot winter trend we like to call "granny chic" for A Christmas Story, The Musical, but maybe she shouldn't.

In case you've missed this trend—and, seriously, you wish you've missed this trend—tacky holiday sweaters are hot this year. Now Katy Perry has propelled the craze to the next level with a sweater dress made from the rugs at Queen Elizabeth's castle at Balmoral.

Either that, or Mrs. Claus is suddenly looking kinda busty.

Maybe Katy visited Santa to ask for a shag carpet dress under her Christmas tree this year. Maybe she was there to celebrate A Christmas Story, The Musical in New York, which is what we're told.

Then again, maybe she's just trying on this year's frumpy granny fashion, in which case, well played, Katy—your frock is way, way on trend. Dianna Agron's got nothing on you, sister.

We probably should also say something about the blue platform boots: They match.

Looks like Santa's elves have their work cut out for them this year.
