What happened to the California Gurl? Katy Perry looks fierce as she channels mean and moody at Paris Fashion Week
She's known for singing her bubbly pop tunes and wearing colourful costumes on stage but Katy Perry has changed.
The 27-year-old singer has modelled somewhat of a more sophisticated look while spending time in Paris during Fashion Week.
Today, she arrived at the Yves Saint Laurent Autumn/Winter show and there wasn't a bright colour or a hint of a smile in sight.

smile as she arrives at the Yves Saint Laurent Autumn/Winter 2012 show
in Paris today
Wearing a short green dress, with thigh-high leather boots and a matching biker jacket, Katy looked every inch the fashionista as she stared into the camera.
Her flawless skin was on show as she had her blue hair pulled back into a severe bun and her eyes stood out in lashings of black eyeliner.

show at the weekend

Even as she took her place in the front row, Katy still couldn't bring herself to smile.
It was a far cry from the previous day when she flashed a grin while shopping and visiting museums in the French capital.
However, today she was surrounded by other famous females who were more than happy to grin for the cameras.

up her outfit with red lipstick while Alicia Keys completed hers with a
fur jacket
The Zookeeper star brightened up her outfit with birght red lipstick and wore her dark hair up with a plait decorating the front of her head.
Also dressed in black was singer Alicia Keys who hid her slender figure underneath black loose-fitting trousers and a low-cut top.
Hollywood glamour: Salma Hayek looked stunning in a tan leather skirt and a sleeveless blouse
It's a date! The actress sat in the front row with her French husband Francois-Henri Pinault
Salma Hayek, on the other hand, steered clear of dark colours and teamed a tan leather skirt with a grey sleeveless blouse.
She too wore a hint of red lipstick and looked every inch the movie star as she sat cross-legged in the front row with her husband, French businessman François-Henri Pinault.

STEFANO'S SWANSONG: PILATI'S DARK FAREWELL TO YVES SAINT LAURENT
Emotions
were high as Stefano Pilati bid adieu to Yves Saint Laurent, just a
week after the house announced his departure as creative director.
Talk that the company was looking to replace the designer for some months was one of fashion’s worst kept secrets.
The collection was stronger and sharper than last season. Perhaps fittingly, it channelled black — the colour of mourning — and chainmail, redolent of combat and self-defence.
But the seeming lightness of the materials diluted the fierceness of the clothes: Sharp-shouldered silhouettes with cinched waists managed to have an element of fragility.
A long black coat could have been inspired by the Matrix, but had the feel of a kimono and a softness in the leather. A chainmail dress looked delicate — like the skin of a fish — later echoed with finesse in chainmail printing.
A subdued mood with slimmer forms
replaced the free volumes of previous seasons. Also gone were the
palazzo pants and the Prince of Wales check of last fall, and with it
most of the house’s DNA.
'Stefano has given them lot of iconic things,' said actress Salma Hayek, on hand for the show. 'This show was a homage not to the house, but to himself.'
The last piece was the exception that proved this rule. A gorgeous 1970s tuxedo suit, a single generous nod and direct tribute from Pilati to the late, great Yves Saint Laurent.

From the outset, a tangibly fatalistic
mood hovered in the air: the first model strode slowly down the
100-metre (328ft) catwalk in a simple black hood.
