This Is What Katy Perry Looks Like From Her Early Career To Now: Good Genes Or Good Docs?!

Katy Perry is one of the many celebrities who seems to be aging like fine wine. Although come to think of it, we’re actually inclined to think that the 38-year-old “Roar” singer isn’t aging at all, as we see virtually no difference in her appearance from 13 years ago to the present day!

Katy Perry's Ageless Appearance

The mom-of-one's permanently youthful appearance was brought to our attention after seeing a post from TMZ which compared her performance at the VH1 Divas Salute The Troops concert in Miramar, California in 2010 with her performance at King Charles' coronation concert at Windsor Castle in May earlier this year. And although there is a 13-year difference in the pictures, we think the "Harleys in Hawaii" singer looks exactly the same. And dare we say even better in 2023!

And it wasn't just a one-off, as we compiled our own before and after pictures (above and below) and the verdict is the same: she doesn't seem to age! What's her secret?!

TMZ asked the question whether the American Idol judge's appearance was down to good genes or good docs – and for what it's worth, the results in the poll were pretty much even, with good docs getting ever so slightly more votes.

Fan Comments

Fans also sounded off in the comments section of TMZ's post on Twitter too, with one saying, "What’s with the polarity?? Can’t it be a little from column A and a little from column B?" Others thought it was definitely all natural, with one saying, "Good genes she's a natural beauty," and another adding, "Good genes."

Not everyone agreed that Katy's youthful appearance was down to good genes though, as one Twitter user quipped, "There are no good genes in Hollywood. It’s all plastic," while another thought that her ageless appearance definitely had to be down to "good docs." Whatever she's doing, it's working, as the "Dark Horse" hitmaker looks incredible!
