Katy Perry switches NINE outfits on first night of Prismatic World Tour in Belfast

By Hanna Flint

While Miley Cyrus was proving she's just as provocative as ever in London, Katy Perry took to the stage in Belfast in far more bubble-gum fashion.

The singer launched her Prismatic World Tour at the Northern Irish capital's Odyssey Arena, Wednesday night, where she showcased an array of colourful costumes as she performed her greatest hits.

And clearly there was an Egyptian theme as she changed from a Cleopatra-like empress on horseback, to a pink feline in a jumpsuit.

Her wardrobe boasts a number of designer names including Valentino and Roberto Cavalli, as well as Jeremy Scott for Moschino.

Katy appeared on the catwalk for Jeremy's first outing as creative director for the Italian brand at Milan Fashion Week.

Ahead of the show, Katy unveiled the complete set list to her show, as well as the themes for each section, which were: Prismatic, Egyptian, Cat-oure, and Acoustic, Throw back, Hyper Neon and an encore.
