Pröst! Katy Perry gets into the beer-swigging Oktoberfest spirit on German chat show

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Costume: Katy Perry's sparkly dress was inspired by a traditional Bavarian dress, called a Dirndl


She's known for her imaginative and wacky on-stage costumes.

So Katy Perry must have felt right at home when she appeared on German TV show Wetten, Dass....? (translated as Wanna Bet?) this weekend.

The 25-year-old singer donned a sparkly dress inspired by the traditional Bavarian Dirndl to help celebrate the German Oktoberfest on the show.

Ever the good sport, Perry then proceeded to swig beer, join in with skits and have a sit down interview, before performing her new single.

She was also presented with a giant, traditional Oktoberfest cookie in the shape of a heart by presenter Thomas Gottschalk.

Perry was joined on the sofa by Resident Evil actress Milla Jovovich who but didn't wear a themed costume, but sipped beer alongside Perry.

Perry changed out of her dirndl into a more revealing stage outfit for her live performance.

She wore a plunging sequined leotard with a pink bustle as she sang Teenage Dream, but accessorised it with a jaunty Tyrolean hat once she got off stage.

Prior to her appearance on the show Perry tweeted: 'I'm starving, what should I have for lunch... Beer? Time to bust out my wench dress. God knows I've got the rack for it.'

While Perry was supping a tankard of beer, her fiance Russell Brand has been cracking jokes about drinking something altogether more personal.

During an interview with his former Radio 2 co-presenter, Jonathan Ross, on Thursday night, he told an anecdote about a former girlfriend who let him drink her breast milk and then added that Perry wouldn't mind him doing the same.

He joked: 'She likes it which bodes well for the first pregnancy.'

Brand was being interviewed at the Hackney Empire about his second autobiography, My Booky Wook 2.
