Katy Perry is one of those stars whose finger tips always warrant a second glance – she’s never fully dressed without a crazy creative nail art manicure. Today she’s tweeted her support for the Presidential campaign, by painting her nails red, white and blue, including President Obama’s face on some nails and also a little donkey – the animal representing the Democrat party – on others. (Republicans have an elephant, fact fans).

And as for the rest of her talons? Stars and stripes, naturally. With only a month to go until the elections, plenty of fashion and showbiz types are rallying round to support Obama’s re-election campaign, not least designer and new father Tom Ford along with friends Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz.
