Katy Perry stars as the face (and hair?) of ghd for another season, and has had a mermaid makeover for their latest ad campaign.

The first in a series of 'Twisted Fairytale' adverts sees Katy working an extreme take on this season's aquatic trend, with a full on scaly tail.

Shot by world-renowned photographer David La Chapelle, the campaign is in promotion of ghd's first ever hairdryer: the ghd air.

We wonder what the next 'Twisted Fairytale' will be? We're hoping for some sort of mad fairy. Or particularly well-groomed centaur.

We're used to seeing Ms Perry with legs. See her running about on stage in assorted crazy costumes here:
