‘Giving them what they want’: Katy Perry ditches her peroxide blonde locks and returns to her black tresses as she wows in a leather dress at the CMAs
Katy Perry cut a stylish figure in a Vivienne Westwood leather dress at the 55th annual Country Music Association Awards in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday night.
The singer, 37, turned up the heat in the figure-hugging brown number and showed off her freshly-dyed black tresses after previously rocking blonde hair.
She documented the dyeing process on Instagram prior to attending the awards, penning: ‘i just think it’s time to give them everything they want’

Pearce delivered the most emotional speech of the night after winning Female Vocalist of the Year – in the same year where Carrie Underwood’s amazing 15-year nomination streak in the category was snapped – while Combs pulled off quite the surprise himself by winning the biggest award of the night, Entertainer of the Year.
