Instead of hitting the VMAs red carpet this weekend, Katy Perry celebrated her nomination at home.

On Sunday, the "Smile" musician shared a photo of herself wearing a nursing bra and postpartum underwear during the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards broadcast. She wasn't featured in this year's show, though her "Harleys in Hawaii" video was nominated for best cinematography. 

Perry used a VMAs GIF in her photo, and jokingly credited her hair and makeup look to "exhaustion." She also tagged the post to let her followers know that her bra was from the breastfeeding product brand Medela, and her underwear was from Frida Mom, which sells postpartum recovery solutions.

Perry posted the Instagram photo just a few days after giving birth to her first child, Daisy Dove Bloom. She and her fiancé Orlando Bloom announced their daughter's arrival through the UNICEF Instagram page on August 26.

"We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter," the couple told the United Nations agency, which provides humanitarian aid to children in need around the world.

Welcome to the world, Daisy Dove Bloom! We are honoured to introduce Goodwill Ambassadors @KatyPerry and @OrlandoBloom’s new bundle of joy.⠀ ⠀ “We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter,” Katy and Orlando told us.⠀ ⠀ “But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was. Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes. Since COVID-19 many more newborn lives are at risk because of the increased lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathize with struggling parents now more than ever.⠀ ⠀ “As UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors, we know UNICEF is there, on the ground, doing whatever it takes to make sure every expecting mother has access to a trained health worker and access to quality healthcare. In celebration of the heart we know our daughter already has, we have set up a donation page to celebrate DDB’s arrival. By supporting them, you are supporting a safe start to life and reimagining a healthier world for every child. We hope your ♥️ can bloom with generosity.⠀ ⠀ Gratefully-⠀ ⠀ Katy & Orlando.”⠀ ⠀ Please tap the link in our bio to support the most precious gift: a healthy child.

Perry previously wore tons of eye-catching maternity looks throughout her pregnancy. In March, for example, she attended a benefit concert in Australia while wearing a $2,980 neon minidress designed by Maison Valentino.
