Perry - who was paid 1.2m to perform at Holly Valance's nuptials last weekend - poses in a series of three classic monochrome images - entitled Shimmer, Megaphone and Hepburn - wearing three different wearable hair looks and simple, dark make-up.

Shimmer sees her sitting at a dressing table wearing a sparkling floor-length, backless dress, coyly turning around to peek at the camera from behind her long dark wavy locks.

In Megaphone the singer sits in a director's chair, preparing to give orders through a loud piece, wearing a low-cut white shirt, tied in the middle, and big hoop earrings.

And in Hepburn Perry looks at the camera through a mirror in a dressing room, her blow-dried hair falling about her face in large soft curls.

Perry has been a brand ambassador for ghd - which stands for 'good hair day' - since 2011, and has done three previous shoots for the brand, some of which involved her swinging from chandeliers.

The singer said: 'It was fun to go a more natural route after playing characters in my last ghd campaign. Ellen von Unwerth captured both the playful and chic looks amazingly well.'

Ghd's CEO Paul Stoneham said: 'Our new campaign brings the ghd brand promise of a "good hair day, every day" to life. Katy and Ellen have created something really special in these images, capturing the essence of ghd today.'

The new ghd air - the brand's first salon-strength professional hairdryer - was used to create all of Katy's looks.
