All those who have seen Katrina Kaif in the promos of Blue have been pleasantly surprised by her biker chick look. The pretty actress, who has always been portrayed as the girl next door, is for the first time sporting a gothic grunge look with a stud pierced below her lip, dreadlocks and tattoos all over her arms.

Kat’s look has been designed to complement Zayed Khan’s character in the film — that of a daredevil biker. Says a source from the production team, “Kat was extremely excited about her new look as it’s a huge contrast from her earlier roles. She gave a lot of inputs and worked closely with the designers on minute details.”

But one thing that gave nightmares to Kat was her hairdo! The dreadlocks that she sports cause a lot of damage to one’s hair and Kat was very particular about that. “She’d immediately go for a hair wash once the shoot would be over,” says a source from the team.

Ask Kat about her striking appearance in Blue and the actress gives all the credit to her designer Rocky S, who gave her the confidence to pull off the look so stunningly. Now, we sure can’t wait to see Katrina in this new, rugged avatar, can we?
