The ever-cheeky Katy Perry was recently spotted wearing this Trash & Luxury "Cat's Meow" tee atop a black sports bra, a piece she paired with a pair of sporty black spandex leggings and kicks (presumably her choice ensemble for a trip to the gym or a yoga class). The vintage-looking tee features a reworked image of Julie Newmar, the beloved actress who played the original Catwoman in the late '60s Batman television series. Newmar paved the way for actresses like Eartha Kitt, Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry, who would all later add their own flair to the famous Catwoman persona, and she beguiled audiences during her many TV appearances, quickly becoming the most popular villainous character during the TV series' short-lived run (1966-1968).
I love how the tee immortalizes Newmar in a demure way. Even if you don't know whose luscious red pout, long eyelashes, and arched eyebrows are being depicted, you do appreciate the image's retro glamour. And, of course, the "cat's meow" reference is a rather clever, tongue-in-cheek nod to the purrr-fection of Newmar's Catwoman role.
