Katy Perry graces the cover of US ELLE magazine's September issue and looks stunning in a pink, figure-hugging embellished dress with long purple-black hair.

She also appears inside the publication in a beautiful black-and-white shot, wearing another clinging dress but with her hair up.

Speaking to the mag, the Part Of Me singer talks about relationships and marriage on the back of her recent divorce from Russell Brand.

She's been linked recently to fellow musician John Mayerand she tells ELLE: "I obviously have a lot to say right now I'm a woman who likes to be courted strongly.

"Never say never, I guess you'd say. I'll let love take the lead on that."

Katy also told the magazine that while she has no immediate plans to change her image or career, she doesn't rule it out: "I love what I do, and when I don't love what I do, I'll make a change I can't be the candy queen forever."

And on the subject of being a role model, she admitted that you can't please everyone: "I have no regrets I'm not going to be everything to everyone.

"I can't tell a person when it's time for them to have sex. Or if they should have a cigarette But I try to l! ive my life with a lot of integrity, and, hopefully, that sends a message."
