We thought it would be hard to make a sexy singer like Katy Perry look like a Fuyu dumpling. We thought wrongly.

The former Mrs. Russell Brand and current John Mayer harem girl wore this Oscar de la Renta for a Billboard Women in Music Luncheon in NYC this week. We do like the color—it reminds us of our fave shade of MAC lipstick from, you know, last season.

We also have no quarrel with the belt. Everybody's doing those medallion belts, after all. We even like the ruffles, as a concept.

But throw it all together with a high neckline and a too-tight cut around the bust and hips, and the whole thing manages to fall apart faster than the second half of a M. Night Shyamalan flick.

Unless we're totally wrong.
