Katy Perry debuts new blonde hair... and matches with boyfriend Orlando Bloom
Katy Perry has debuted a new bold look in the past few days; she's dyed her hair an eye-catching shade of blondey-ginger.
The singer showed off her new look at boyfriend Orlando Bloom's 40th birthday party celebrations. She paired her new hair with some oversized frames and a black ensemble.
This isn't the first time Katy has gone blonde; back in 2011 she rocked a bright 'do. Over the years she has also had blue, pink and purple hair and is therefore no stranger to a shocking colour swap.
We wonder if Katy's new look was somewhat inspired by the birthday boy Orlando Bloom, who has been sporting fair hair for a while now. We can't wait to see a picture of them together!
Take a look at all of Katy's bold hair looks here...
@katyperry / InstagramKaty is rocking long blonde hair now and we stan. "If you don’t love me at my pixie cut then you don't deserve me at my Goddess glow," Perry wrote in the caption, referring to the super-short hair she wore for much of 2018 and 2019.

Rex FeaturesKaty's penchant for bright and bold shades reached its highlight recently when she wore electric blue eyeshadow with a popping red lip shade. Her short hair is looking as brilliant as ever, too.

hungvanngo /InstagramOh em gee: how amazing does Katy look here?! She's totally coveting an ultra stylish mystic Meg. Makeup artist Hung Vanngo shared this amazing snap on his Instagram, saying the look was for a 'secret project' and that Ms Perry looked like a total 'disco queen'. We couldn't agree more!
hungvanngo/InstagramWe literally can't keep up with Katy's hair as of late! She chopped it all off recently to rock a pixie cut, and now she's posted a photo with long blonde hair - we wonder how long 'til the next change...
Katy Perry/InstagramA dramatic change but one we like. Katy Perry took inspiration from Agyness Deyn for her new buzz cut. Suits her, don't you think?
Getty ImagesKaty's really rocking that hair! She showed off her new style with exceptionally styled brows and a pretty epic ear cuff.
Getty ImagesKaty has recently gone for the chop. It's a very different look, especially the super short back, but we kinda love it. Plus let's face it, she can pull off just about anything!

Katy Perry/InstagramPerry debuted this shaggy pixie crop on April Fools' Day on her Instagram page with the caption: "I asked for a Kris Jenner." We're unsure whether this with a convincing joke or whether she has actually gone for a shorter do', but we like it all the same.
Getty ImagesFor the ARIA Awards in Sydney in late November, Katy Perry complemented her glitzy Jamie Lee beaded ensemble with a beautiful wintry berry pout and accentuated her updo with a matching headband. Chic but unique, as ever.
Getty ImagesKaty doesn't stick to one hairstyle (or colour) for long. The pop princess shocked us by dyeing her hair bright green earlier in 2014. She showed off the new hue on Instagram, writing, "SLIME GREEN FOR SPRING by my bb's @neeenaboo & @brantmayfield at the @mcmillansalon."
Dare we say it, but we kinda like it.

Ellen von UnwerthKaty looks absolutely stunning in her ghd campaign, shot by Ellen von Unwerth. The gorgeous singer is ghd’s Gloval Brand Ambassador and shows off her latest look in the series of three striking black and white photographs.
“It was fun to go a more natural route after playing characters in my last ghd campaign,” said Katy. “Ellen von Unwerth captured both the playful and chic looks amazingly well.”
Ellen von UnwerthWe love this fully-loaded glamorous look, teamed with statement smoky eye make-up. The voluminous hairstyle was held in place with a mist of ghd style final fix hairspray.

Taken just before the end of her world tour, the California Gurls hitmaker can be seen playing chess and even swinging from a chandelier – all whilst showcasing the glossiest of raven locks. Hair DO, if ever we saw one!

PA PhotosWhat a brilliant blue ballerina bun! Bravo Katy.
PA PhotosWhy not step out of your comfort zone once in a while with a spacey, high-rise quiff like Katy’s. We’re actually really starting to love that cobalt-blue hair hue: would you dare to try it?
Katy Perry's latest ghd shoot, to launch their first hair dryer ghd Air, is her best to date (in our opinion...). She said of the mermaid-style shoot: “It was fun – I got to have purple hair which foreshadowed the real purple hair I had last fall”.

Katy Perry finally made the transition to a blonde bombshell after months of pink in 2011. The American beauty looked better than ever with this sharp honey-hued bob.
PA Photos/Rex FeaturesKaty was almost back to blonde in December 2011 after months as a pink-haired beauty. Add some baby pink highlights to your sharp blonde bob to perfect Katy’s look.
PA PhotosAnother day, another gorgeous hairstyle for GLAMOUR.com girl crush Katy Perry.

Goff PhotosWe met Katy at the ghd party after her brilliant O2 show in October 2011 and quizzed her about her gorgeous pink hair. She told us: “Well obviously I didn’t start the trend. Don’t forget Pink!”
She said: “I love the look because I think it’s synonymous with the whole Cyndi Lauper Girls Just Wanna Have Fun thing.”
Rex FeaturesKaty stole the show on Sunday’s X Factor results show. Are we more in love with her soulful voice, playful personality or her quirk-queen style? Tough call...
David La ChapelleIn October 2011, Katy's latest campaign for ghd was released, and we got an exclusive behind-the-scenes peek at the shoot.
Katy said: "The Show White fire escape look was really cool. It was very peachy. I was wearing a John Galliano dress. David LaChapelle is known for his beautiful, larger-than-life sets, and the people that he works with are very talented – they make the picture look like a billion bucks."
David La Chapelle"There were lots of little birds hanging around so I felt like a princess, like Snow White, and I was singing and talking to the birds as they fluttered around me. I would maybe wear something like this again. I liked the glittering fishnets I got to wear with it."
David La Chapelle"I liked the hair – it’s super frizzy. I’ve done that type of frizzy hair before for some posters for the MTV Europe Music Awards when I hosted them for the second time – I wore the same kind of frizzy hair. I really liked it."
David La Chapelle"The Snow White look is very different for me because it is a very short bob, but we were inspired by the Art Deco era – a bit flapper-y, a bit 40s. The furniture is very Art Deco. I love my nails in it, and my bob that has little curls coming around it. I think it’s a bold look for me, especially for the short hair, but I’ve actually had a pixie cut before. I used to have a black pixie cut when I was about 17, 18, 19, so I felt I was reliving that part of my life again. It’s really cute. I’d probably wear this look again, but I probably wouldn’t do it for long."
David La Chapelle...And, on the look that she'd most like to try that she hasn’t already: “I might like trying being a blonde – a long, hippie-esque blonde with black roots. We’ll see."
PA PhotosIn August 2011, Katy joined the rainbow hair colour revolution with this bright candy floss pink. We fell instantly in love with her popping pink hair hue and retro curly style.
Rex FeaturesIn July 2011, Katy went back to her roots with this bright blonde 'do. With still a hint of the ginger tone she tried on the way to her natural blonde hair hue, this image of Katy in her Smurfette dress has become one of her most iconic looks.
PA PhotosJaws dropped when Katy stepped out in Toronto showing off this 'ginger' hue, but the singer explained to her Twitter fans that it's just an in-between step to a drastic colour swap.
The naturally blonde star has been dying her hair dark for years but said on Twitter: "So I didn't get to the exact color I wanted from being black for so long! 2get to goal I have 2b GINGER for 3WKS If I don't wait 3wks, I'll end up w/no hair or a #pixie90scutw/abarretteinthefront It's okay, I'll get to my secret color(s) soon! #patience" (sic).
We couldn't wait to see the blonde locks!
We loved Katy's classic style in her first ghd campaign image. This look just screams Hollywood glamour.
The ghd campaign images were shot by David LaChapelle.
Rex FeaturesTrust Katy to be at the forefront of reviving a hot hair trend! The bob is back and Miss Perry was one of the first celebs to go for the chop.
Rex FeaturesHair envy alert! OK, now we’re sulking. Even this classic, mid-length bob, which would make most of us look old and frumpy, looks amazing on KP! Not fair, not fair, not fair!

PA PhotosEven though Katy was sat next to bessie mate Rihanna (Ri's organising Katy's hen do!), Katy’s uber-luxe sultry waves caught the attention of all the fashion press at Paris Fashion Week.
PA PhotosBless 'er! Katy supporting her boyf, Russell Brand at the LA premiere of Russell’s new film, Get Me To The Greek. Katy works a eyebrow-skimming fringe, which always looks best when the hair is properly straightened and in great condition.
PA PhotosWith raven-hued, luscious hair like Katy's a retro screen siren ‘do like this one works without having to use loads of volumising product. Jealous, us? No!
Rex FeaturesOMG! We love this ultra glam Grecian goddess look. If you’re going to do the Grecian draping trend then you’ve got to make the hair work with the dress. Step forward Miss Perry and the perfect loose princess ponytail - and the eye make-up is to die for!
PA PhotosWithout the heavy showgirl make-up and the ‘done’ hair Katy looks fresh and natural and a little like Lily Allen – no?
PA PhotosThe hairstyle that started a million copycats - are you listening Gaga, Madge and Aquilera? Katy's naturally wavy locks and perfectly proportioned face can carry off a 1940s style like this.
PA PhotosAnother MTV awards show and another fabulous hairdo! This time Katy wears an updo – not a style she does often. We love the deep side parting, which makes this updo ultra flattering for Katy’s oval face.
Rex FeaturesIs this the hairstyle that captivated Russell Brand? Big waves, a soft, centre parted fringe and a cute diamante hair bow. Katy does gorgeous hair the first time she meets Russell at the MTV Video Awards in 2008.
Rex FeaturesHmm, we’re not so sure about this ‘do. The waves are gorgeous but what’s going on with the fringe? Of course, Miss Perry still pulls it off thanks to fabulous earrings and long lashes – bravo!
PA PhotosWe don’t believe Miss KP ever has a bad hair day but if in doubt wear a retro headscarf and big sunnies, et voila a whole new look.

PA PhotosVa va vixen volume! Turning a so-so layered bob into so-sexy with a little volume at her 25th birthday party. Top tip: If you're bored of your bob and trying to grow it out, do as Katy did and and max-up the volume to make more of the bob shape.
PA PhotosBe-a-utiful! Katy spins Hollywood with Bollywood at the 52nd Grammy Awards and it totally works! Loving the luxe wave and blunt fringe combo. If her bang wasn't soft and curled under it would compete with the curls and look odd but Katy's got it bang on (soz!)
Rex FeaturesThink hair extensions are tacky? Take a leaf out of Katy’s book and wear them styled into a high ponytail. And Katy's style secret? Tie mini braids around the base of the ponytail to hide any tell-tale attachments.
