Katy Perry - Dark Horse

Katy Perry - Dark Horse Ft. Juicy J

In the music video of Katy Perry's song, Dark Horse, the theme of the video is Ancient Egypt. Throughout the video she is dressed in various contemporary versions of Egypt, especially when she is on the thrown portraying Cleopatra. Her eye makeup has different details referencing the 'Eye of Horus' design in each scene. She even has the blue eye shadow on in some scenes that Elizabeth Taylor wore as Cleopatra. It's interesting to see how other people, even singing artists like Katy Perry develop different makeup ideas for their own work from Egyptian references. We even see her hold the symbol of the 'Eye of Horus' up to he own eye clearly symbolizing the wealthy power she has while sitting on her throne as Cleopatra.
