Katy Perry shares postpartum selfie in maternity bra and underwear days after giving birth

Katy Perry has shared a postpartum selfie of herself in a maternity bra and underwear days after giving birth to her and Orlando Bloom’s daughter Daisy Dove.

On Sunday, as many stars made appearances at the MTV VMA’s, the new mother shared the photo to her Instagram Stories, where she joked about what she was wearing for the awards show.

“Hair and makeup by: @exhaustion,” Perry wrote on the photo, also crediting the makers of her nude maternity bra Medela and her grey Frida Mom underwear.

In the top corner of the photo, Perry added a spinning VMA gif.

On Twitter, fans praised the pop star for sharing the honest photo of her postpartum body.

“Beautiful girl power! Embrace it,” one person wrote.

Another said: “I love this. You go Katy.”

While she is embracing her postpartum body, the singer, who recently released her new album Smile, also joked that her new music video for Champagne Problems, which she posted over the weekend, will help her get her pre-baby body back.

“Allllll weee goooot arre #ChampagneProblems nowwe,” Perry captioned a clip of the video on Instagram. “Listen to Champagne Problems to get your pre-baby body back.”

Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honoured to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors @KatyPerry and @OrlandoBloom’s new bundle of joy.⠀ ⠀ “We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” Katy and Orlando told us.⠀ ⠀ “But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was. Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes. Since COVID-19 many more newborn lives are at risk because of the increased lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathize with struggling parents now more than ever.⠀ ⠀ “As UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors, we know UNICEF is there, on the ground, doing whatever it takes to make sure every expecting mother has access to a trained health worker and access to quality healthcare. In celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate DDB’s arrival. By supporting them, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child. We hope your ♥️ can bloom with generosity.⠀ ⠀ Gratefully-⠀ ⠀ Katy & Orlando.”⠀ ⠀ Please tap the link in our bio to support the most precious gift: a healthy child.
