But last night Katy Perry proved that when it comes to fashion, there are some looks that are just too daring - even for her.
The 27-year-old singer sported a nude bodysuit as she took to the stage at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Canada, to perform her new track Wide Awake.

However, despite the outfit being concealed somewhat by a huge pair of butterfly wings she was wearing for the rendition, it was when Katy made her way off the stage after collecting her award for International Artist that she ran into trouble with the outfit.
But luckily Katy thought quickly and decided to use her MuchMusic award - a long black rectangular box - to maintain her modesty by concealing her rear as she exited the stage after picking up the prize from Pretty Little Liars actress Lucy Hale.
The bodysuit was just one of three outfits Katy sported at last night's star-studded awards.
She had earlier arrived on the red carpet dressed as a Marvel-esque superhero in a black and gold gown with cartoon princess hair, accompanied by a mini-army of children dressed in tiny replicas of previous outfits worn by the star.
She later toned things down with a prim pair of black culottes and a cream and black lace high necked fitted top, before changing into her bodysuit for the performance of Wide Awake.
She debuted the tune at the Billboard Awards in May with an elaborate performance in Las Vegas which saw her lowered onto the stage on a swing wearing a wedding dress.
She was then thrown across the stage as a long haired groom tried to catch her.
Toned down temptress: This is as close to the real Katy as you can possibly get
The lyrics clearly relate to the breakdown of her 14 month marriage in December last year.
She sings: 'I'm wide awake. I was in the dark, I was falling hard with an open heart. How did I read the stars so wrong? I was dreaming for so long. I wish I knew then what I know now. I wouldn't dive in, I wouldn't bow down.'
Strategically placed: Katy's modesty was preserved by carefully placed crystals
She even hints in the song that the marriage was over for a while.
'Not losing any sleep, I picked up every piece and landed on my feet. Need nothing to complete myself. I am born again, outta the lion's den. I don't have to pretend. The story's over now, the end.'
Tonight there was no wedding dress, but the imagery was just as telling as Katy appeared to be reborn as a beautiful butterfly.
Wearing the nude body stocking in which she would collect her big award, the singer looked vulnerable and delicate yet wore a defiant expression as she belted out her paeon to heartbreak.
Around her twirled those beautiful wings, which acted as an armour, as well as that indicator of rebirth.
Mr Brand, it appears your ex-wife is still trying to tell you something.
