Katy Perry Interview magazine cover March 2012

I’ve gotten rather used to Katy Perry’s numerous makeovers and different looks, but when I saw her photo on the cover of the upcoming March issue of Interview magazine I literally did a triple take! Though her looks do often vary, they’re usually bright, colorful, and fun – but this look is downright sinister, sultry, and sexy!

From InterviewMagazine.com:

If you haven’t already heard, Katy Perry is our March covergirl. We’re pretty excited (!), especially as she’s interviewed by one of our favorite comedians, Kristen Wiig. Above is a sneak peek of Katy’s cover, shot by Mikael Jansson and styled by Karl Templer. More to come later in the week…

I’m still having issues believing that’s her on the cover! I recognize the boobs but that’s about all 🙂 Kudos to stylist Karl Templer on an amazing transformation! I can’t wait to see more photos from the shoot when the issue comes out.

Could this be another sign that we should prepare for a new, darker Katy Perry since her split from husband Russell Brand? That seems to jibe with Katy’s completely unconfectionary and – dare I say – badass performance of the revamped “Part Of Me” at the 2012 Grammy Awards:
