There is usually a tried and tested path to follow after the break up of a serious relationship.
The first big night out, for instance, after doing something as momentous (and final) as signing divorce papers usually calls for a sexy outfit, something that signals you're back on the market and showcases assets that were perhaps kept under wraps in a cosy relationship.
Katy Perry, always determined to create a stir, went entirely the other way tonight at the MusiCares Person of the Year gala for Sir Paul McCartney tonight and showed up in an outfit that seemed better suited to attending a wedding, as the bride.
The pale pink satin and netting wouldn't look out of place in any church or garden reception, and the giant fascinator that dwarfed the starlet's head is a bridal centrepiece to end all others.
It's a curious choice for this most knowing of dressers, as it's hard to believe that Katy wouldn't be aware of the jarring incongruity of a soon-to-be divorcee dressing up like Dickens' Miss Havisham for a high profile event.
Though, if you recall Katy flashes scenes of her wedding to Russell Brand on screen at last year's Grammys, it's possibly she just really likes a wedding, and has decided - quite sensibly - to dress up as a bride rather than attempt to be one.
The singer tweeted about the Alexis Mabille couture dress: 'Tonights lewk is Petal Power themed #PAULMCCARTNEYMUSICCARES,' and later took to the stage to perform The Beatles' Hey Jude - which received mixed reviews from the audience.
She signed the documents ending her marriage on Tuesday and now Katy appears to be throwing herself into her work.
The 27-year-old singer will perform at the Grammy Awards this Sunday, and is doggedly preparing for her first public performance since her ex-husband, Russell Brand, 36 , filed for divorce in December.
The One That Got Away singer looked focused today as she signed a guitar with her trademark smiley face signature at the Staples Centre in downtown LA.
If she wasn't happy, at least she was dressed brightly enough to distract attention from her state of mind.
She wore what appeared to be a silk housedress with climbing vine patterns in various shades of pink, green and yellow, which complemented her Smurf blue hair.
She hinted to Entertainment Tonight that the world was in store for some excitement in regards to her Grammys performance.
She said: 'Sunday evening will definitely be a guessing game but it will be exciting, it will be very fun, challenging and fresh.'
She then added: 'I'm just pleased that they allow me to come back here and make a mess of things.'
The pop star also revealed the name and release date of her new single.
Part of Me will drop on February 21 as part of Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection release.
The album will include all twelve tracks from her Teenage Dream release, along with three new songs and Missy Elliott remix of Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.).
This new compilation will drop on March 27.
All of Katy's career excitement should distract her from the fact that she and her ex recently signed on the dotted line to finalise their divorce.
The pair have agreed to split their assets, and her husband of 14 months has waived any claim to the chart-topping singers £28million ($44million) fortune.
But despite the sad circumstances, the quirky pop singer signed the legal documents off with an upbeat 'smiley face.'
According to Forbes magazine Brand is worth a relatively small £4million in comparison to the Firework singer's £28 million fortune.
The couple who married in October 2010 didn't sign a pre-nup, and as a result, in the state of California everything they earned during their 14-month marriage is deemed community property - which means they're each entitled to 50 per pent each.
However with Katy making a huge $44 million between May, 2010 and May, 2011 - according to Forbes magazine, Russell stood to gain considerably more.
But the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star has waived any claim to the money the Teenage Dream singer made during their short-lived marriage.
However he will take a share of their assets, which may include a cut of the $6.5 million property, which he was seen moving out of a few weeks back.
Russell's lawyer filed final divorce papers yesterday. However the judge will make the divorce official on June 30, as there's a six month waiting period before the divorce is declared final.
Meanwhile the comic was seen heading to a yoga class the same day the papers detailing the end of his marriage emerged.
According to the papers filed at the Los Angeles Superior Court, Perry has gone back to her maiden name of Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson once.
In addition to keeping her money and her identity, the agreement also covers distribution of their property.
Perry's papers say, and she asks that the court not be involved in awarding spousal support to Brand.
In the paperwork filed by Brand, 36, he ticked a box saying that both parties 'agree this cause may be decided as an uncontested matter' and says they have waived their rights to a trial.
Reports of marital discord haunted the couple in the months leading up to their very public split, but Brand has spoken out about his wish to keep things friendly.
'I’ll always adore her and I know we’ll remain friends,' he said in a statement.
And in a few cryptic tweets posted earlier in the week he opined: 'We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them' he wrote, citing a quote by Albert Einstein.
Then added: 'What a twerp.'
