Katy Perry Smoking Hot Photo Shoot For Esquire Magazine

With her love of dressing up in wacky costumes, 'sexy' isn't the first word that comes to mind to describe Katy Perry.But in these smouldering pictures for Esquire magazine, the singer shows she definitely has a sultry side.In one black and white shot, she shows off her impressive curves in a figure-hugging outfit of basque and suspenders.A sheer shawl is draped over her shoulders, and her shoulder-length hair tumbles down in soft waves.Another shot sees the 24-year-old clad in a leopard print bodysuit.Reclined against a wall, the I Kissed A Girl singer pouts sultrily at the camera.

The photo shoot is quite a departure for the young star, who has in the past dressed up as an egg, donned a moustache to look like Freddie Mercury, and thrown on a costume that looked like a merry-go-round.She gave fans another surprise recently.

Even though her most famous song is about kissing a girl, Katy locked lips with a boy for her new pop video.In the clip for Waking Up In Vegas, she is seen snogging 'professional geek' Joel Moore, who can also claim Paris Hilton as a kissing partner.He starred in the film The Hottie And The Nottie with Paris, where she frequently kissed him.Katy is on a high after taking home the Brit Award for Best International Female earlier this month.
