Katy Perry Says She Never Feels Pretty

Katy Perry Tells Seventeen Mag That She Never Feels Pretty

August 5, 2010

Katy Perry's opening up about her looks in the new Seventeen magazine. In it, she raves about her fiancé, Russell Brand, saying that he's taught her a lot about inner beauty and confidence. But the following quote is kind of sad for someone who always looks beautiful to us:

"I don't really feel pretty ever. Without makeup, I feel ugly. And so I would have to sleep with makeup on, or feel ugly and gross. He looks beyond all of that, which is such a win, because I've never felt that with anybody."

Does it make you feel relieved that even celebs have their down days? Or are you left wondering that if someone as pretty as Katy Perry calls themselves "ugly and gross," then we should all be worried. Is her honesty and candour about her feelings a good thing or not? Thoughts?

yeah, that's what I was thinking that b/c she feels ugly even though she is obviously beautiful, maybe other girls will look at themselves differently and see their beauty in spite of how they feel. i do feel sorry for her, because not only is she beautiful and smart but she's talented.

She's had problems with acne. While I've generally been pretty blessed in the skin department, I had a terrible bout of deep, painful acne when I was a teenager, and I can understand why someone with skin issues would feel so insecure without all that makeup.

Well maybe they'll read it as "this woman is gorgeous yet she feels ugly too, so maybe I'm not seeing what's really in the mirror either." It helps me to know other people feel like that too. It might not be that he's a man, it could just be that he's the person who sees her all the time and w/o mu. A lot of people are never w/o in front of friends and family.

she was voted sexiest woman in the world by maxim and she still doesn't feel beautiful. its so sad that she needs a man to help her feel pretty, because she is obviously gorgeous with and without makeup. i agree with the writer, i wonder how young girls will feel when they read this.
