Katy Perry debuts red hair colour

Los Angeles: Pop star Katy Perry bid adieu to her signature ebony hued tresses in favour of a new shade inspired by a Muppet.

The 29-year-old 'Roar' hitmaker took to Twitter on to debut her freshly dyed tresses, sharing an Instagram shot of her fiery new locks while providing the 'hairspiration' for her new look: Animal from the Muppets, reportedly.

The image appropriately features the phrase "I am an animal." "Got that hot wheels hurrr/play doe pink do," she wrote, , explaining the new hair shade.

Perry maintained her dark roots, with most of her hair bleeding into a deep pinky-red. The singer has rocked almost every shade of the rainbow, with the most memorable choices being bubble gum pink, bright neon green, and even royal blue.
