And Perry who shocked (in a good way) fans last month when she cut her hair debuted her even shorter buzzed cut in April. Keeping the same bleached blonde hue, she captioned the Instagram post, “fifth element flow,” possibly a reference to Bruce Willis’ frosted tips in the 1997 fantasy film Fifth Element. She joins Zoë Kravitz and Kristen Stewart, who both recently have buzzed their locks and gone platinum. Photo: Instagram/Katy Perry -
