KATY Perry has made fans scream with her latest post that showed her channeling an iconic ad from the late ’90s.
The American Idol judge took to Instagram on Tuesday to show some of the loafers available in her shoewear collection.

Her brand, Katy Perry Collections, sells a variety of its Geli Combat Loafers, which are available on the site for $109.
In the new post, Katy, 38, was first seen taking a selfie while sitting in a bathroom stall.
She had on a pair of crocodile-print loafers paired with crew socks, finishing up her school girl look with a matching tweed blazer and skirt set and a light blue button-up.
Katy had her dark hair styled in a short bob with micro bangs that allowed her to show off the expression she was giving to the camera.
The most iconic part of the new ad was her underwear, however, which was seen hanging around her calves as she sat on the toilet with her knees turned inward.
The gray panties also had her full name written across the waistband.
The post had a vintage feel to it, due to the nature of its muted colors – overall channeling a memorable Candies ad from the late ’90s with actress Jenny McCarthy, 50.
Jenny’s ad also showed her sitting on a toilet with her underwear pulled down around her angles as she held onto a newspaper and smiled at the camera.
FAN APPROVAL
Fans loved Katy’s take on the idea, with many showing love to the Firework singer in the comments section of her post.
One person wrote that her photo was “LEGENDARY.”
“I JUST AUDIBLY SCREAMED,” a second excitedly wrote.
“Wait this kinda slays,” a third said.
A fourth wrote: “We love it babes.”
Some fans wanted to see the photo reused as a possible album cover for the Grammy-winning artist, while others were questioning whether or not Katy would be releasing her own underwear line.
MORE MUSIC
Katy recently released another ad for her shoe brand with a similar vintage feel.
However, fans couldn’t help but have some questions about her focusing more on fashion and less on releasing new music.
The ad showed the 38-year-old wearing a tiny silver dress with a pair of knee-high tan boots with a crocodile texture.
The Teenage Dream singer rested on one knee while extending her opposite leg in front of her.
While fans were supportive, many still articulated that they wanted more music from her rather than shoes.
One fan demanded: “GIVE US THE ALBUM.”
“Girl we thought its gonna be music,” a second fan wrote.
A third cosigned: “This energy is needed for the next album.”
“Where is the music, you’re a singer? remember…” another noted.
Many fans also asked her about KP6 since she had teased that her sixth studio album, tentatively titled KP6, was up and coming during her Play Las Vegas Residency.
One fan shouted: “WHERE IS KP6?????!!!!”
A second person begged: “KP6 PLEASEEEE.”
Fans have been begging the songstress to release new music since she announced her hiatus from touring back in 2018.
CAREER KILLING?
Some fans of the artist recently accused her of choosing a comfortable job on America Idol, which has now kept her from working on her own music.
Some critics have called her role in the singing competition career-killing and advised her to step away.
It was announced in July that Katy would be returning as a judge on the show for its next season, despite the backlash she received from viewers during Season 21 this spring.
She will be joining fellow judges Lionel Richie, 74, and Luke Bryan, 47, along with longtime host Ryan Seacrest, 48.
