Pink lady: Katy Perry unveiled a bold new hair colour as she stopped off at a gas station in Los Angeles with her in LA yesterday

She has gradually lightened up her locks in recent months in a bid to achieve a flaxen look, but it seems Katy Perry has temporarily abandoned her blonde ambition.

The 26-year-old unveiled very bold new colour as she stopped in at a gas station with her husband Russell Brand in Los Angeles yesterday.

Perhaps taking inspiration from her Teenage Dream cover, she has dyed her hair a cotton candy pink.

She teamed her bright mane with a summery green maxi dress, aviator sunglasses and flip flops.

Katy, who has rarely been spotted with her comedian husband in recent months, is on a brief break from promoting her new film, The Smurfs.

The film, which sees her voice the character Smurfette, made $36.2 million on opening week at the U.S. box office.
