Melancholybaby called it “tacky as hell, but I’m sure this is going to stand out a mile from the newsstand,” he added.
MON posted, “This is by far, their best cover this year! Amazing! Katy is just gorgeous! Amazing! The tacky pink even works! OMG! AMAZING!” I guess he thinks it’s amazing.
Others found it to be less amazing and more over the top. “I guess this is the one time you wish Elle US had a white background on the cover,” Psylocke commented. “Everything about this is too much. The hair and makeup would have looked nice with a minimalistic dress, no tacky nail art and a more subtle background color. I do think she looks very pretty here but the styling and the layout is a massive fail.”
MulletProof notes that Katy “looks like a stripper in ‘important meeting’ attire. Everything about it is bad and vulgar.”
Most of us have had enough of the over-the-top candy queen girl child thing, so maybe it’s time Katy Perry officially relinquishes her crown and moves on.
