Katy Perry Shamed For 'Slightly Chubby' Bikini Body On The Beach

Katy Perry may have fans thinking she's too skinny these days, but it was a different story ahead of her 2024 weight loss. One year prior, the 40-year-old was photographed enjoying a beach day in St. Tropez, with the photos showing her with fiance Orlando Bloom. Stunning in a brown bikini while looking relaxed, Katy soaked up the Mediterranean sunshine in chill mode. She likely didn't expect to wind up with body-shaming remarks. Katy has since made global headlines for losing a staggering amount of weight, with many still convinced that her new body is down to weight loss drug Ozempic.

Scroll for the photos. Flaunting her fit figure and looking curvier than she does in 2025, Katy rocked a terry-rib bikini in chocolate brown.

Hinting at her cleavage in a stretchy bralette and full briefs, the "Woman's World" singer showcased her shapely legs and waistline, accessorizing her swimwear with an open white shirt. Opting for a comfy and practical look over a sexy one, Katy added a sunhat and flip-flops. The photos showed her with actor Orlando, plus a crowd of friends.

Going makeup-free, Katy kept her glam very minimal, wearing her hair tied back under her hat. The photos quickly went viral as fans got busy discussing the songstress' shorefront outing. Loving Katy's look, one user reacting on The Daily Mail wrote: "I love the fact that she has a normal healthy body and seems very comfortable with herself! Refreshing in celeb world!"

Others weren't so flattering. While one user said that Katy looks like "the average female," another proved more hurtful. "'Incredible figure'? 'Slightly chubby' is more accurate," they replied. Over 100 users upvoted the comment. "How is that incredible? I guess average is incredible these days," a further user chimed in.

The above photo was shared on Katy Perry's Instagram last year. Stretching out her arms as she posed from a Spain beach to promote her "Lifetimes" single, the mom of one highlighted her super-slim figure in a checkered bikini, flashing her tiny waist and toned legs as she earned over 700,000 likes. Once again, she wound up slammed, though. "It's giving teenage dream but we’re matured now," one user wrote, gaining over 1,000 likes for their comment.

That said, a near-equal number of likes were left to a more positive comment, reading: "You can hat3 her all you want but you could never deny how stunning Katy is!!" Ozempic rumors spiked with this photo last year as Katy Perry hit up the Balenciaga Show in Paris while going shirtless in an open fur coat.
