Katy Perry has left us picking up our jaws after sharing her glam hair and makeup look for the NFL Honours. The pop star is no stranger to a dramatic hair colour transformation; we’ve seen her sport a bubble gum pink bob, a platinum blonde pixie cut, and my personal favourite, the rainbow pastel waves she debuted whilst kicking off her Prismatic world tour.
Recently, though, Katy has been firmly camped on the dark side, sporting the brunette/black locks she had when she first came onto the music scene.
Now, she has served another amazing hair look – but this time, it’s not the colour we’re focusing on. Instead, we can't stop staring at her chic wet look hairstyle, which was created by celebrity hairstylist Rick Henry.
Keeping the hair down, yet still pulled back from the face with no parting is truly what make this look feel much cooler, polished, and totally on-trend.
It's fair to say that the glam squad have really outdone themselves this time.
In fact, Katy's look reminds us of Megan Fox at the MTV VMAs. For the event, celebrity hair stylist, Andrew Fitzsimons, gave Megan fresh out the shower look and it was so sleek.
While we don't know how Rick achieved Katy's hairstyle (please, drop the deets, Michael!), Andrew revealed that back in September, he created Megan's look with a lot of Living Proof's No Frizz Vanishing Oil, £31. Or, if you can't get your hands on some oil, you could opt for a gel.
We can't forget to mention the st-un-ning makeup look by celebrity beauty alchemist, Michael Anthony, which included a nude lip, bold brow and fluttery lashes.
Giving us a rundown on Katy's nude lip, he wrote in the caption: "On the lips I used the new Powder Kiss lipstick in shade 'SULTRINESS' with one of the best nude lip liners in shade 'OAK'". No surprises that both products are by cult classic MAC.
