Katy Perry is the newest celebrity to get involved in the fashion business. The pop songstress has just unveiled her new footwear collection.

The 40-piece-collection was announced in August of last year but was unveiled this Thursday, hitting shelves in department stores, specialty stores, and on a dedicated e-commerce site. The footwear offerings are designed to match Perry’s bubbly stage presence. Stand-out pieces include Rubik’s cube-inspired heels, mesh heels with dollar signs, and feathered sandals.

Perry, a longtime Clinton supporter, has dedicated one of the shoe styles to Hillary Clinton. The pale-pink shoe with a glittery lucite heel has been dubbed “The HRC”. Perry's new shoe line also includes tributes to actresses Lena Dunham and Allison Williams of Girls series fame. Prices for the collection sit between $59 and $299.

Perry boasts that no ghost designers have been used — the line is 100% designed by her.

The collection was launched by Global Brands Group Holding Limited, who also work with Kenneth Cole, Frye, Calvin Klein, Anne Klein, and Jones New York on footwear licensing.
