Katy Perry has rocked a lot of looks in her time, but we never had her down as a secret goth.

As she hit the NARM Music Biz Awards in LA last night, the singer channelled her inner angry teenager, slapping on a face full of dark heavy make up.

Admittedly though, she's much more glam than those goth kids at school with their long, greasy black hair and Korn hoodies.

She teamed deep plum lips and smoky eyes with a long black, sheer panelled dress and killer Louboutin heels.

Just so long as she doesn't start taking musical inspiration from Marilyn Manson, we're willing to let this one slide.

It was a big night for K. Pez as she also picked up the award for Artist of the Year.

Of her win, NARM president Jim Donio praised the "global superstar".

“Katy‘s music was absolutely everywhere over the past year, and her dominance of the singles charts is a nearly unprecedented accomplishment,” he said.

“She has unquestionably blossomed into a true global superstar and has earned this award in every sense of the word.”

Ambi Sitham: Katy and Russell: Irreconcilable Differences and the Laws of Love

The recent demise of the marriage of popstress Katy Perry and the infamous lothario turned devoted husband Russell Brand spurred inevitable public commentary and debate with media outlets ruminating over (and in some cases, dare I say almost celebrating) the latest celebrity marriage to fail. So newsworthy was the announcement of their divorce that within minutes the twosome became a national trending topic on Twitter.

Leigh Purves: Why Should Katy Perry Sacrifice Her Career for Kids?

So this is 2012. And reports today in Britain suggest Katy Perry, shock horror, chose her career over having a baby with Russell Brand... what right does anyone have to insist that a woman should put their partners needs to spread sperm before her own needs? This is not 1952.

Anna Hart: Lipgoss: Ignore Everything You Read About the Perry-Brand Divorce

It's become impossible to ignore the tiresome way the story has been reported. In the absence of any hard facts about the reason for the split from the couple themselves, we've been treated to a series of ultra-conservative cliches about why marriages fail.

Only he and KP know the finer details that have led to their split but I would no doubt assume the demands of Katy's career played a massive part. That, and perhaps the pressure to succeed Brand must have experienced in LaLa land.

Although I think that it is an improvement to her look, I want to politely point out to the author that Korn and Marilyn Manson are not Goth musicians. Nor are Goths angst-ridden teenagers who live in woe about the world while listening to only Nightwish and Evanescence, contemplating suicide. Those are stereotypes. Goth is a subculture that started in the late '70s and early '80s as an off-shoot of punk rock.
