Katy Perry gets our vote for the best, most patriotic, and most committed Fourth of July look this 2013. What are all those half-hearted stars-and-stripes cutoff shorts and bikinis compared to Katy Perry’s full-length American-flag-printed shirtdress?

Katy only showed us the back portion of the dress in an Instagram pic, but you could already gauge its majesty.

As this is Katy Perry we’re talking about, she didn’t just stop at showing her patriotism through her clothes.

She also used art on her nails and boyfriend John Mayer’s star-printed shirt to complete her Fourth of July look fully. We bet her makeup was red, white, and blue, too!

Katy Perry was a firework in this iconic Catherine Malandrino American flag dress:

The dress became an instant hit when big-name celebrities like Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, and Sharon Stone wore it after 9/11. It was relaunched a couple more times after that, selling out each and every time.

We bet French fashion designer Catherine Malandrino will re-release the dress in the future, but in the meantime, check out the three American-flag-printed dresses below that we think will let you show your nationalistic pride just as proudly.
