Katy Perry has been vocal about her support for Hillary Clinton during the presidential election—she was even outfitted with prosthetic makeup to be Hillary for an elaborate Halloween group costume—but her latest look just kicked it up a notch.
Katy performed in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on Saturday to support Hillary's campaign. Although we've seen performers pay homage to Hillary with their on-stage costumes, this was definitely a statement piece: The singer took the stage wearing a fierce jacket emblazoned with the phrase "I'm With Madame President" on the back.
Katy's stylist Karla Welch told Vogue that she reached out to designer Prabal Gurung to create Katy's custom ensemble. Gurung posted photos and sketches of the piece on Instagram, with the caption, "Here in the United States, we may take for granted what it means to have a woman in power, but it sends a worldwide message and has an especially strong impact on countries where women's rights are compromised. Karla, Katy and I wanted to celebrate this revolutionary moment with Hillary."
Here are his sketches:

Hillary introduced Katy at the event in Philadelphia, saying, "I love the message: When you get knocked down, which everybody does, the message is, 'Get back up.'"
Katy is just the latest artist to appear in concert on behalf of Hillary—Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Adele have all announced that they're with her.
