A famous pop star is known for her outrageous and unique stage costumes. She has stated that she enjoys shocking and surprising audiences with her fashion choices.

 

A fashion designer wanted to promote her line of creative unconventional clothing and sent the pop star one of her outfits in hope that she would wear it. The pop star loved it and wore the outfit at her next major concert. The designer obtained a photo of the pop star in the outfit from a widely-circulated magazine and hung the photo up in her boutique.
