Katy Perry once removed her wig on camera
Katy Perry tends to hide her natural hair. In September 2024, she hit the red carpet looking glam with Orlando Bloom for the premiere of his movie, “The Cut,” rocking baby bangs and plenty of eyeliner. After the event, Perry revealed the truth about her look, posting photos and videos from the event on Instagram, including a clip that showed her ripping off her wig as a stunned Bloom looked on. “This bang isn’t real, but my love for you is,” she joked.
That was nothing compared to the many (many, many) wigs she wore on stage in 2019, though. Perry’s head was adorned with 76 hairpieces for her performance on that year’s “American Idol” finale and she shared a photo to Instagram showing the various locks of blond hair being assembled, with some even strewn across the floor.
“Tonight’s #AmericanIdol finale is not just WIG — it’s 76 wigs (and a little bit of fringe),” she captioned the upload. Artist Iggy Rosales, who created the larger-than-life look, told Paper, “With something of this scale, it becomes less of a hairstyle and more of a sculpture. The idea was that Katy would start off completely submerged within the giant wig, and mid-performance would reveal another hairstyle underneath.” Though we wouldn’t recommend donning that many wigs, Perry certainly makes a case for taking risks without the actualy risk.
