She became famous for donning bubblegum brights and colourful latex both on the stage and on the red-carpet.
But Katy Perry struck a very different and dark figure on the red-carpet for the NARM Music Biz 2012 Awards in Culver City this evening.
The 27-year-old channeled Gothic glam as she slipped into a racy transparent-paneled gown.

Her dark, edgy era has begun I guess

Her dark side has been most interesting.

I see she's going ALL OUT for the era. I hope the music can reflect that.

this look makes her old.

I concur she needs a shade lighter lip stick and not to part her hair down the middle..

She's going Rated R?

SHe looks awesome.

What in the Kristen from Twilight hell...

And here I was thinking it couldn't possibly get any worse after the blue hair.

Kween Katy always exceeding expectations.

Her roots

I am going to need some pissed off Circle The Drain Katy

I like her figure in this. Her face, though...

i dont like how she looks.... that lipsstick she looks ulgy...

I don't like the hairstyle
