Katy Perry turned heads with her bikini body last summer, although sun-drenched photos of the singer did receive mixed reviews. In August 2024, the 40-year-old vacationed in Italy, rubbing shoulders with Amazon boss Jeff Bezos as she soaked up the sun.

Opting for boho accents while rocking a pink fringed bikini, Katy highlighted the weight loss she's still making headlines for, something that provoked a mixed response.

While some commented on the pop star's slimmed-down figure, others indicated that she was looking "dumpy" as they left shaming remarks. Katy had also splashed the cash on a designer bathing suit, rocking a Missoni look.

Scroll for the photos. Looking girly and classy in her $1,040 swimsuit, Katy rocked a fringed, bandeau top in baby pink with neckties accentuating her slender shoulders.

Rocking Missoni's signature zig-zag prints, the "Woman's World" hitmaker injected multicolor pastels from her swimsuit's bodice, opting for purple, blue, yellow, and white, plus a cute matching skirt forming a dressed-up finish.

Photographed on the water and reported to be with Bezos' fiancée Lauren Sanchez and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy spent the day with her fiancé Orlando Bloom, making it a triple date as Titanic star Leo was joined by girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti. Katy added shades for a glam finish, also wearing her hair down, plus a necklace.

The photos were published by The Daily Mail, where fans seemed focused on Katy Perry's appearance and the company she was keeping.

"Interesting choice of company. Less of a playdate and more a political statement," one user said. Others mentioned Katy's weight loss, something she began making headlines for toward the end of 2023.

Bikini Body 'Dumpy' Or 'Ozempic?'

Fans couldn't seem to make up their minds. While one user gained over 40 likes for replying, "Ozempic, for sure!" another said the opposite, hurtfully calling Katy "dumpy." Katy has never admitted to using weight loss drugs, although she is heavily suspected of having used something to slim down so quickly.

Suggesting that Katy has actually gained weight, a further user even wondered if the star might be pregnant. "Pregnant again? Or just inhaling Costco-size bags of potato chips?" the spiteful remark read. Katy and actor Orlando are parents to their only daughter, Daisy.

Skimpy Top Shows Off Weight Loss

Another day, another reminder of Katy Perry's transformation. In this photo, the American Idol alum showed off her slim arms and waist in a stylish, sleeveless white top.

The image, which was reposted to an Instagram fan account after Katy's Blue Origin space trip earlier this year, quickly attracted a comment.

"With her out of space body, she could wear a sack of potatoes with a Gucci belt and rock it," the user wrote.
