She’s known for her classic sartorial tone during her day to day life.

But for the November cover of Harper's Bazaar Germany, the 24-year-old pop princess swapped her normal preppy look for something edgier.

With her luscious locks styled into a razor-sharp bob, the American star upped the glam factor dressed in a black sheer blouse, which was embellished with crystals, and eye-catching diamond earrings.
