KAT Katastrophe, 23, from South Carolina, USA, describes her unique and colourful style as 'Classic Y2K Scene with a cyber twist'. Kat has been dressing this way since she was 11 years old. It started from Harajuku street fashion and evolved into the Cyber Scene queen she is today. Kat Told Truly: "I like to have a lot of neon colours and things that are fun, I like glitter and iridescent things, things that glow, LEDs, stuff you would wear if you were going to a rave or a party." Today, with the help of makeup artist Asia, Kat will be transforming into a 'glamorous influencer'. Kat's boyfriend and family absolutely love her Cyber Scene look; but how will they react when the new look is revealed? Kat added: "This is going to be a big change for me, I don't do things like this... I've never been transformed that's for sure." Will Kat love her transformation and decide to leave her Cyber Scene aesthetic behind? Or will she be desperate to get back into her neon colours?

00:00 I would describe my look as classic Y2K scene
00:05 with a cyber twist.
00:07 I'm being transformed from cyber scene
00:09 to a glam inspired influencer look.
00:13 - This transformation's gonna look very, very different.
00:17 - What the heck?
00:18 I'm like, I'm gonna cry.
00:20 I'm gonna be revealing my look to my older sister, Sarah,
00:23 my sister, Gracie, and my boyfriend, Zombie.
00:26 - Oh my God.
00:29 You look insane.
00:30 - I have my hair, actually my two favorite colors,
00:34 hot pink and green.
00:37 I started dyeing my hair when I was 11.
00:42 I just started trying everything out.
00:44 I think it's a key part of my look.
00:46 I would call my style cyber scene.
00:50 I started dressing this way when I was about 11 years old.
00:55 It started off with the Harajuku street fashion in Japan.
00:59 After that, I found out about cyberpunk subculture,
01:04 found different aesthetics that I liked,
01:07 and I kind of just put them all together
01:10 into one big work of art.
01:12 I like to have a lot of neon colors
01:15 and things that are very fun.
01:18 I like glitter, I like iridescent things,
01:21 things that glow, LED,
01:24 kind of things that you would wear
01:25 if you were going to a party or a rave,
01:28 'cause I like that aspect of having a good time
01:31 with getting ready in the morning
01:33 and whatever you decide to wear,
01:34 just having it be something that's gonna be fun
01:38 and be entertaining for yourself.
01:41 Most of the stuff that I wear,
01:44 I either make it or I get it from thrift shops.
01:47 So these are some gloves that I made from a pair of socks.
01:52 I'll cut it up, I'll stitch it together,
01:54 I'll use a tube top as a skirt,
01:58 just whatever I have available.
01:59 I think that's the most fun part about it,
02:02 that's the most creative part about it,
02:04 is being able to actually make the things that I wear
02:09 and put myself into it.
02:10 And it leaves room for me to express myself
02:13 and fully communicate with the world
02:16 through my aesthetic and my style.
02:19 But today, I'm being transformed from cyber scene
02:23 to a glam-inspired influencer look.
02:28 I'm pretty excited to try it.
02:30 I'm gonna be revealing my look to my older sister, Sarah,
02:34 my younger sister, Gracie, and my boyfriend, Zombie.
02:37 I don't think they're gonna think it's me,
02:39 but I think they're gonna think it's exciting and cool.
02:42 I think they're gonna dig it.
02:43 What do you guys think of my style?
02:45 - I like it, it's very you.
02:47 Your hair is giving starburst vibes.
02:50 - It's great how you're able to incorporate
02:52 all these other elements into one thing.
02:56 It's a piece of art, so I think it's pretty cool.
02:57 - It's everything to me, I love it so much.
02:59 - How are you feeling about today?
03:01 - I'm a little nervous,
03:03 but I think it's gonna be really cool and exciting.
03:06 Can't wait to see what I look like.
03:08 - It's a big change for me.
03:09 I don't do much like this.
03:12 I haven't, I've never been transformed, that's for sure.
03:17 - I'm nervous about all of it, to be real.
03:21 I'm excited to be transformed
03:24 because I like to keep an open mind
03:27 and I like to see all perspectives of things
03:30 and I like to find beauty everywhere.
03:33 Oh, the makeup artist is here.
03:35 You guys go hide and go somewhere else
03:37 so we don't ruin the surprise.
03:39 Oh, more beacons.
03:40 - Oh, more beacons.
03:42 - Hi.
03:45 - Hi, I'm Kat, I'm Asia.
03:46 - Nice to meet you.
03:47 - Nice to meet you too.
03:49 - Come in.
03:50 (upbeat music)
03:52 - That's cute.
03:55 - Oh, thank you.
03:56 How do you feel about being a little bit more neutral?
03:58 - It's gonna be really different.
04:00 I'm really excited to see how that's gonna compare.
04:03 - We're gonna be doing something more neutral,
04:04 more natural, a more Instagram it girl look.
04:07 Are you ready to get this makeover started?
04:09 - Absolutely.
04:10 - Let's do it.
04:11 (upbeat music)
04:14 What are the key elements to your look that you're going for?
04:17 - I like to have black and white and rainbow.
04:21 - I love all the colors.
04:22 This transformation's gonna look very, very different
04:26 but I think you're gonna look very, very great too.
04:28 - I feel naked.
04:29 - How does it feel having someone else do your makeup?
04:35 - It's definitely different
04:36 'cause I don't get my makeup done very often.
04:39 I always do it myself.
04:41 Sometimes people, they might think I'm either younger
04:43 than I really am or more of a silly person
04:46 or just someone who isn't serious or professional or smart
04:50 and those things are not true.
04:51 - Okay, your makeup's all done.
04:53 Are you ready to get dressed?
04:54 - Yeah, let's do it.
04:55 - All right, let's go.
04:57 This is such a pretty color on you.
05:06 I ain't even gonna lie.
05:07 Here's your back.
05:10 - Ooh.
05:11 - You ready?
05:13 - Yes.
05:14 - Three, two, one.
05:17 - Oh my God, what the heck?
05:21 I'm gonna cry.
05:22 I would be scared to talk to me.
05:26 I wanna go to a fair work
05:30 and see if anybody recognizes me.
05:32 I started crying.
05:34 Wow.
05:35 That really is crazy.
05:38 - How do you feel?
05:41 - I feel emotional.
05:42 I kinda look like how I used to when I was younger.
05:45 - Are there any elements that you really like
05:47 or that you don't like?
05:49 - I really like how put together
05:55 and classy and expensive it looks.
05:59 It looks very tasteful.
06:01 I feel like I look like a model or something.
06:05 It does feel like a cosplay, but I love it.
06:08 It's pretty cool.
06:08 I love the top.
06:10 I would wear this again with some different bottoms,
06:13 you know, some contrast.
06:16 - Are you ready to show your boyfriend and your sisters?
06:18 - Yes, they're gonna be so shocked.
06:20 Especially my boyfriend, 'cause you know,
06:23 he hasn't seen me in any different style than this.
06:25 So it's gonna be really cool.
06:27 I'm so excited.
06:28 - I have no idea what to expect.
06:30 I'm pumped.
06:31 It'll be good.
06:32 - I'm expecting her to look absolutely gorgeous as usual,
06:35 but I'm just excited to see the new look.
06:39 (upbeat music)
06:41 - Oh my God.
06:44 You look insane.
06:45 You look so good.
06:46 - You look so good.
06:48 - The only thing I recognize is the tattoo.
06:51 - It's the only way you know it's me still.
06:52 Not a decoy.
06:54 - No, that's amazing.
06:56 - Do you like it?
06:57 - I do.
06:58 This wouldn't even be my thing,
06:59 but I think it's really pretty.
07:01 - It's gorgeous.
07:02 - Thank you.
07:03 I love it.
07:04 Actually, I love it.
07:07 - I miss the accessories and the candy bracelets
07:09 and the hair, but I think you look like a supermodel.
07:12 So it's a moment.
07:14 I love it.
07:14 - Would you guys recognize me if you passed me
07:17 on the street?
07:17 - Yes.
07:18 - I don't know, you're my sister, but almost, no.
07:20 I've never seen you with the middle part.
07:22 - Yeah.
07:23 - And the blonde would definitely throw me off.
07:25 - I found this experience to be a very insightful experience.
07:32 (upbeat music)
07:36 - I would go back to my normal style,
07:39 but I really like it.
07:40 It felt very cool.
07:43 It felt very different and very empowering.
07:47 (upbeat music)
07:50 (upbeat music)
07:53 (upbeat music)
07:55 (upbeat music)
