Katy Perry, Rihanna and other stars have looked graceful in the "ao dai" whenever they chose to wear one. 

American singer and songwriter Katy Perry wears a Vietnamese "ao dai" in a music collaboration with record producer Zedd. Perry and Zedd have teamed up for a new song called "365." In the video, the singer wears a green "ao dai" with golden polka dots while lying in bed, face make up like a doll. This is not the first time Katy has showed an inclination for clothing from Vietnam.

A few months later the cover of her new single "Small Talk" featured Katy Perry in a colorful "ao dai" with floral patterns. Photo by Facebook/Katy Perry.

In 2018 British supermodel Naomi Campbell (R) made her first visit to the southern Can Tho City and chose an "ao dai" designed by Cong Tri to wear at an event. She looks elegant and demure in an outfit from Tri's "Beloved Coco" collection in contrast to the popular perception of her as a rebel and a strong personality. Photo by VnExpress/Duy Khanh.

In 2012 Rihanna, Barbadian singer, chose a modern "ao dai" for her performance at the MTV Music Video Award. The red sleeveless dress was a combination of modern and traditional features, and left quite an impression on international audiences. Photo by Reuters/Mario Anzuoni.
