Katy Perry was called out by fans for debuting a space-inspired “Lifetimes” tour outfit after receiving backlash for being part of the historic all-female Blue Origin flight.
The “E.T.” songstress took to X on Saturday to show off her figure in a cut-out body suit, which appeared to be made out of metal.
Perry’s outfit also consisted of metal arm cuffs, leg covers and a hat of the same material.
“Introducing KP143,” she captioned the photo.
While the pop star, 40, just wanted to give fans a closer look at her out-of-this-world concert apparel, she has been facing backlash about everything she does following her 11-minute trip to space earlier this month.
“Is this what happens after you go to space and back?” one person commented.
“You went to space for [10 to 11] minutes and now you an alien?” another added, as a third chimed in, “Why did you kiss the ground when you [sic] only flight [sic] for [10 to11] minutes with no physical training and zero effort?”
“While I hope your damage control is successful, this isn’t the way,” a fifth wrote.
“You have become insufferable,” a critic claimed, as another agreed, “Wtf. Desperate attempt to stay relevant. Good luck with that astro-nut.”

Perry sported her unique outfit while kicking off her “Lifetimes” tour in Mexico City on Wednesday.
She also wore other space-inspired costumes and busted some robotic moves while belting her 2012 track “Part of Me.”
On April 14, Perry flew into space alongside Gayle King, Lauren Sánchez, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen and Kerianne Flynn.
While around 62 miles above Earth in Jeff Bezos’ rocket, she flaunted a daisy to represent her and Orlando Bloom’s 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.
Perry also went viral when she kissed the ground after landing back on Earth and exiting the rocket.
Aside from fans, several celebrities, including Olivia Munn and Emily Ratajkowski, called out the women for depleting resources and “destroying the planet.”
King, 70, however, defended their flight, telling People, “Anybody that’s criticizing doesn’t really understand what is happening here.”
Sánchez, 55, told the magazine that the negative comments about the launch get her “really fired up.”
