With the cape, dark makeup, and jet black hair, parted down the middle. This being one of many looks Katy Perry has rocked on various red carpets, she is one glamorous goth.

This Glamorous subgenre is often mistaken for well, Goth, however, the differences are important and noticeable. This style is elegant, with sequins and an array of silver spikes, as well as soft vine like patterns and clothes reminiscent of the styles of the 50’s. With certain callbacks to a time gone by, some of the trends in the Glam Goth genre can seem like they were pulled straight out of the past, with gorgeous dark corsets and laced fabric. No wonder celebrities have been sporting this beautiful look, with its mysterious edge and classic beauty. Some male celebrities spotted in this clothing are Adam Lambert

Want to get the look?

Put that bronzer away! To achieve this look yourself, why not grab a plain black laced dress and dark high heels as a base, before adding silver studded accessories to your look and finishing with dark, shadowy makeup. This look is moody and romantic. Keep your hair natural with soft waves in a rich, deep hue. And you needn’t stick to black; think about layering lace, sheer chiffon and velvet textures or opt for deep purple and emerald colours.

This Valquiries Lace dress if paired with different Goth jewelry and Goth women accessories would make for a great Gothic glam look. Find a sexy pair of Goth inspired heels and you are good to go!
