Katy Perry Certainly Is One Killer Queen

A few new promo shots for Katy Perry's Killer Queen perfume have hit the web, and the 28-year-old singer prances around in a massive Marie Antoinette-inspired wig in this behind-the-scenes photo from the sexy shoot.

"When I was creating Killer Queen, I was really inspired by the idea of a strong, confident woman in power," Katy said in a statement. "And that is exactly what I hoped to put into this fragrance, something that brings out the power inside of you."

"Killer Queen has been in my vocabulary since I was 15, because of the song 'Killer Queen' by Queen," she told Women's Wear Daily. "Freddie Mercury painted the lyrics of this woman who I wanted to be. She seemed very powerful, and she captivated a room when she walked in."

"I named my company Killer Queen after those lyrics," she continued. "I feel like, after all this time, it was appropriate to use that name in association with something I did. I feel like I'm falling, finally, into that woman Freddie painted."
