The OMG moment, a la Miley Cyrus, ushered in a new musical era for the animated pop star as she released her fifth studio album <em>Witness <\/em>that summer. Fans were mixed about the new look (and the album) to say the least but despite the lukewarm reception, Perry kept the chopped style for years.<\/p>\n<p>But on Sunday <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/katy-perry-returns-american-christian-siriano\/\">during a taping<\/a> for <em>American Idol,<\/em> the 36-year-old delighted fans as she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/katyperry\/\" target=\"_blank\">took to the gram<\/a> posting a series of snaps of herself sporting long raven locks with blunt Bettie Page-esqe bangs. &#8220;The One That Got Away&#8221; singer showed off her new &#8216;do, created by hairstylist Rick Henry, while wearing a wild pink and black tiger print poncho by Vietnamese designer Cong Tri. She accessorized with black arm-length leather gloves by Gaspar and black leather thigh-high boots by Jimmy Choo.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignfull-width

Atkin.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Going along with the edgy pin-up vibe, her go-to makeup artist Michael Anthony painted her up with muted pink lipstick, hot pink blush, pale purple eyeshadow and a dramatic pair
