And here we thought Katy Perry was done channeling her wild side with her previous highly ornamented look at the UNICEF Snowflake Ball.

The 29-year-old was back to her animalistic antics when she showed up at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball in a Versus Versace dress customized for her “Roar” promotions.

The lovable artist, known for her crazy antics, humored the paparazzi per usual by gamely posing for them.

The long Versus Versace dress has a high slit and is only available to the public in black (Katy Perry’s is in fur print).

The singer switched back to her Amazonian top ponytail, which seems to be the staple hairstyle to go with her animal-inspired dresses.

Katy finished off her look with a pair of pointed-toe suede pumps. If you think you recognize the shoes, that is because Katy Perry wore Manolo Blahnik BB pumps.

The dress features gold safety pins not only for decoration but also for fastening.

The pins beautifully ornament the slim waist-deep scoop at the back, echoing the thigh-high slit at the front.

“@SaraBareilles congrats lady! Who woulda thought hotel cafe would produce 2 little Grammy nomers. 🙌 #albumoftheyear,” she tweeted about her friend Sara Bareilles, who earned nominations for her album The Blessed Unrest and hit song “Brave.”

We actually love the black one because of its understated glamour that we don’t quite see in Katy’s hot pink animal-printed version of the dress.
