It’s a purple reign: both Katy Perry and Kelly Osbourne dyed their hair purple this week, setting off a new mini-trend.

According to Perry’s stylist, Rita Hazan, the pop star’s longer hair is “purple velvet,” InStyle.com reports. “It’s dark and rich. It’s very punk rock. I love creating colors for her because she always knows how to rock it,” Hazan adds.

Osbourne went purple on Tuesday, Tweeting the process to fans. Earlier this year, after she added a bit of lavender to her gray locks, she told PEOPLE, “I think that I have an addiction to dying my hair, because I always like it to be different. I don’t like being compared to other people.” (Sorry, Kelly, we’re going to do it anyway!) Tell us: Who works her purple best, Katy or Kelly?

What Do You Think of Kelly Osbourne’s Purple Hair?

INF

Wonder what Sharon thinks now! Though Kelly Osbourne’s mum “hated” her grayish-lavender hair, the beloved Brit may take a shine to her daughter’s new purple hair. Kelly debuted the new hue while out in West Hollywood Tuesday, covering up her roots with a sleek black fedora.

Osbourne Tweeted the dying process Tuesday, giving props to hairdresser Judd Minter along the way. And when a fan commented that the starlet is at risk of having her hair fall out from the frequent coloring, she joked, “i wish some of it would! i have so much hair it takes over an hour just to apply the dye!”

Osbourne, formerly a blonde, went gray in January to give her hair some time off, she explained. “I can’t keep bleaching my hair and I want to grow it,” she told PEOPLE. “So I take breaks in between.”

She added a little lavender to her tresses two weeks later, and told PEOPLE, “I think that I have an addiction to dying my hair, because I always like it to be different. I don’t like being compared to other people.” Guess we shouldn’t tell her about Katy Perry’s new color, then. Tell us: Do you like Osbourne’s latest look?

Her mom hated her gray hair — so Kelly Osbourne went ahead and made it purple. The reality starlet hit the red carpet at the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center Honors Monday night sporting a subtle new hair hue — her second change in two weeks’ time.

Earlier this month at the People’s Choice Awards, Osbourne explained her unusual hair color choice to PEOPLE. “I can’t keep bleaching my hair and I want to grow it,” she shared. “So I take breaks in between.”

But last week at the Art of Elysium gala, Osbourne admitted she really loves changing her look. “I think that I have an addiction to dying my hair, because I always like it to be different,” she said. “I don’t like being compared to other people.”

So while her hair may be a bit fragile these days, Osbourne doesn’t seem to mind. “I don’t want to break this addiction, I love it,” she shared, pointing out one key benefit of frequent color changes: “I get a new look every day.”

The Osbournes have never been ones to hold back their feelings, so when Kelly debuted a uniquely hued do at the People’s Choice Awards on Wednesday, mom Sharon made her opinion quite known.

“She hates it,” Kelly told reporters outside the awards at the Nokia Theatre in L.A. “This is the woman who made me who I am today and she questions it. I don’t understand it.”

Sharon had three words to describe why she isn’t a fan: “Because it’s gray!”

But Kelly’s choice of shade had purpose, she insisted. “I can’t keep bleaching my hair and I want to grow it,” she explained to PEOPLE. “So I take breaks in between. I did it a year ago. It was more of a lavender-y gray, but I went straight gray this time. I’ll change it tomorrow. I haven’t decided [to what color].”
