Katy Perry Joins the Ranks of the Makeup-Free Celebrities

Katy Perry is known for her extreme beauty and fashion, but her new movie, Katy Perry: Part of Me, reveals the star’s more natural side. The movie will be out July 5th (in 3D!) and follows the singer’s life for the past year. So far it’s being marketed similarly to the Justin Bieber movie, Never Say Never: as a behind-the-scenes diary look at a star’s concert tour. While many will probably head to the theatre to find out juicy details about the end of her marriage (Perry decided to not to skim over their breakup), the trailer shows a fun-loving, quirky side of Perry that makes us like her a lot more.
We were thrilled to catch a clip of the movie on BellaSugar Australia’s site, which shows Perry trying on costumes for her concert tour—totally makeup-free—for much of the clip. Click through to watch for yourself.
Even though this isn’t the first time we’ve seen her without makeup, it’s the first time the pop-star actually wants us to see her. The first was when now ex-husband Russell Brand tweeted a picture of her shortly after waking up—reportedly without her permission. That picture was quickly removed from Twitter but it’s nice to see that she’s willing to let us see her, flaws and all, when it’s on her own terms. This just might be the most positive “trend” out of Hollywood ever.
Tell us in the comments: what do you think about no-makeup celeb pictures? Will you go see Katy Perry: Part of Me?
