Katy Perry
No one can accuse Katy Perry of being timid with her style choices. The pop star has rocked nearly every haircut and color one could imagine, and it seems unlikely she’ll stop switching it up anytime soon. But Perry’s constant hair overhauls kinda make you wonder where she started.
The hair color most synonymous with Perry is arguably inky black — the hue she sported when One of the Boys, the first album under her stage name, took off. But back when she was Katy Hudson, the singer still had the lighter hue of youth. “I’m naturally the most boring dishwater squirrel brown,” Perry told Glamour in 2015, confessing she’s been “playing with colors” since she was 15.
In 2016, Perry made headlines when she chopped her hair into a super-short pixie cut and dyed it platinum blonde. Of the decision, Perry told Siri Sat Nam Singh during a live therapy session that the change was prompted by a desire to be more authentic. “I so badly want to be Katheryn Hudson,” she said (via PopSugar), “that I don’t even want to look like Katy Perry anymore sometimes.”
