    The songstress channels her inner extra-terrestrial in the colourful new collaboration with Kanye West

    After Tweeting about the extra special E.T. release for weeks, US songstress Katy Perry has finally debuted her brand new video – a decidedly extra-terrestrial collaboration with rapper Kanye West.

    The starlet channels her inner-alien in the slightly scary music film, and you can watch the very first sneak peek, here...

    Granted, we've seen her in a wig or two, but Miss Perry is hardly recognisable in the other-worldly new video, which sees rapper Kanye west rocketed into space.

    The Teenage Dream singer is transformed into a multi-coloured alien during the dramatic video, which pictures her floating through the atmosphere.

    And that's not all. Katy experiments with not, one, not two, but three extra-terrestrial-inspired looks during the song, playing extreme dress-up with prosthetics, coloured contact lenses and shimmering face paint.

    The starlet poses in a bizarre red creation, before transforming into an unnerving white alien, and finally a Cleopatra-style bronzed being, who lands on another planet and meets a - scantily clad! - male robot.

    Earlier this month, the star spoke out about her marathon make-up sessions, and how a team of artists worked around the clock to create her coloured looks.

    'It was, like, five and six hours, each make-up look. It was hard for me! It was really a patience thing for me on this video,’ she told MTV.

    'But you know, it's like when you're doing a film,’ she added.

    ‘Sometimes you have to do prosthetics and you have to get really old or turn into an animal or a monster - and that's kind of what this process was.'
