For years, people have noted that Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry look strikingly alike. So it comes as no surprise that the pop star decided to tap the “New Girl” actress to stand in while she was on maternity leave for her latest music video, “Not the End of the World.”
In the video, Deschanel is mistaken by aliens for Perry. The “New Girl” star is beamed up into a spaceship wearing a quarter-sleeve red minidress and shiny silver metallic ballet flats.
Ballet flats are among the notable footwear styles that have faired well during the coronavirus pandemic. The modest footwear choice was noted as one of the most popular footwear choices for fall ’20 thanks to its stylish yet functional shape.
Deschanel has long been a champion for comfortable footwear. In 2019, the Crocs ambassador told Footwear News, “I recently thought: ‘I can’t be happy if I’m not comfortable,” when speaking about Hollywood’s expectation of women wearing heels on red carpets and for public appearances.

“It’s like looking in a mirror,” notes Katy Perry when Zooey appears on the screen during their Instagram Live sesh.
