Katy Perry Talks Fashion Inspiration While Shooting Adidas Campaign

What do David Beckham and Katy Perry have in common? Aside from a love of European soccer, they’re both involved in the latest Adidas campaign, “all Adidas.” The new commercials feature athletes like Beckham, the Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose and members of the Notre Dame football team getting pumped up alongside Perry and other musical artists, like B.o.B. In a behind-the-scenes video for the campaign, Perry reveals that Adidas collaborator and designer pal Jeremy Scott asked her to participate in the spot, her second for the brand (she did a commercial for Adidas originals about two years ago). Good thing the two are close: when asked about her favorite designers, “Jeremy Scott is always in that group even to this day,” Perry says. The pop star says she draws her fashion inspiration from humor, “pop culture, different females. It’s kind of like cartoonish, punk-rock, cute, smorgasbord of things.” That makes sense, given that her style icons are an eclectic mix including Bettie Page, Wonder Woman, Judy Jetson, Daphne Guinness and Agyness Deyn. Hear more about Perry’s sometimes silly sense of style in the clip below. –Kate Hogan

Faux or For Real? Sandra Bullock Undergoes On-Set Hair Transformation

Is she wigging out? On Friday, Sandra Bullock was spotted on the New York City set of her latest film, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, working a wavy, lighter look that’s a major contrast to her day-to-day do, which she’d sported just two days before. Though we doubt the actress would chop her gorgeous chocolate locks in favor of these less-glam tresses, she is committed to her craft, going blonde for The Blind Side in 2009. Regardless of the new style’s staying power, we think she rocks it. Tell us: What do you think of Bullock’s latest style? –Kate Hogan

Ivory Soap and Foot Massages: Lady Gaga Spills Her Beauty Secrets

It’s hard to think of someone as glam as Lady Gaga mulling over a makeup bag. But in the latest issue of PEOPLE, the superstar singer opens up about her surprisingly normal beauty routines (hint: the last thing she does before bed is brush her teeth!). Gaga, who calls her mother Cynthia Germanotta and Princess Diana her beauty influences, says her mom taught her to wash her face with Ivory soap. But that doesn’t mean the singer always follows directions. When asked how many nights per week she goes to bed wearing makeup, she replies, “Seven. That is not good for your skin, but I’m blessed with good genes.” What is good for her skin? The sunblock she carries around in her beauty bag. “I don’t like to tan my face because it’s bad for wrinkles,” she explains. The natural brunette, known for her now white-blonde locks, says she misses her dark hair when she has to “get a chemical haircut because my blonde hair is falling out.” And that’s not the only damage fame has done: she admits that she’s dying for a foot massage, to relieve her achy feet after all those days spent walking in sky-high heels. But Gaga — whose favorite fragrances growing up were Versace Baby Rose Jeans and Revlon’s Jean Naté — says that above all, the best beauty tip is to be yourself. “Just go with your gut,” she urges. “Whenever you try to be someone else, it’s boring.” Perhaps that’s why she’s skipping mascara and fake lashes these days. “I think it’s more modern not to wear [either]. I just wear eyeliner.” For more on Gaga’s beauty secrets, pick up the March 28 issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands now. –Rennie Dyball and Samantha McIntyre
