She had good company during her last paddleboarding excursion, but while Katy Perry was without ex-boyfriend Orlando Bloom she was no less noticeable during her latest appearance in Italy on Thursday afternoon.
.
The American singer, 32, looked typically relaxed while pushing herself across the still waters off the coast of Sesto Fiorentino, where she is in the midst of a European getaway with friends.
Sporting a lilac biκini with striking gold embellishments, Katy was hard to miss during her latest European excursion – which conjured images of an altogether more memorable coastal appearance with Bloom, 40.
The naked actor was famously seen straddling a paddle board with his manhood on full display while Katy nonchalantly sat cross-legged in front of him during a trip to Sardinia in September 2016.
While Bloom was tasked with handling the paddle on that occasion, the California Gurls singer had no problem navigating herself across the water during her latest outing.
With temperatures soaring Katy stayed cool beneath the shade of a wide-brimmed hat, while her eyes were shielded behind a pair of heavily tinted sunglasses.
At one point the star took a breather while resting with her knees propped on the wide paddleboard, before making her way back to shallow water.
Once there Katy appeared to indulge in a quiet moment alone, during which she sat in the surf and admired the sweeping ocean view.
Accompanied on her latest trip by a group of female friends, the star soon made her way back onto the beach, where she joined them from an al fresco lunch.
Katy’s holiday comes as the pop princess, who sings about being ‘spread like a buffet’ in her latest single Bon Appétit, opened up about how her parents handle the Sexually suggestive lyrics in her music.
The acclaimed pop star was asked how her devoutly Christian parents, Keith and Mary Hudson, reacted to the dance track during a candid chat on Australian radio station Nova in June.
‘… The thing about it is, which is such a weird thing, to really understand we agree to disagree but still with loving space,’ she said.
‘We all come from different places… you can have your belief system, nobody is telling you to not believe your beliefs but you can also come from a space of love… that’s what my family and I exercise all the time.’
The singer released her new album on June 9 and is already embarking on a worldwide tour to promote her music.
Katy will be touring Canada and the US from September until May 2018. She will then be returning to Europe to continue the tour on the continent.
The continental leg of her tour will kick off in Cologne at the end of May, with the singer arriving in the UK next June.
‘You know when you’re dating someone sometimes, it’s exciting to be like, “oh should we try and make out over here in this place?” or what have you, and I was just not in the mood. I saved it for the boat!’
The Roar singer joked that he went naked because he was ‘just trying to show off for all the people back at the shore.’
Katy said that at the time she had been teaching Orlando about Twitter and social media and thought it was funny when he became the number one trending topic on Twitter, thanks to the pictures.
She added: ‘All of a sudden, he’s like number one trending on Twitter. And he’s like, “I understand Twitter, it’s okay.”‘
In April, Orlando joked that he ‘broke the internet’ with the images, when appearing on Nick Grimshaw’s BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show.
The Hollywood star also admitted he frettedaout what young son Flynn – his only child with ex Miranda Kerr – might think of the images as he gets older.
He said: ‘It’s been talkedaout so much I’m over it already,’ he said. ‘My poor son! He’s got a lot to live up to… I broke the internet.’
