Katy Perry revealed a crucial tanning mistake she made while filming her California Gurls music video in 2010.

The singer, 38 – who also discussed her quirky doll eye talent in the interview – shared that she had to ‘spend so much extra money on color-grading’ the iconic video while doing Vogue’s Life in Looks segment on Friday.

‘Funny story behind this is that I look super tan here, right? Rarely do I get spray tans, and typically you’re supposed to get them the night before.

Well, I just didn’t have time. So, I got them the day of my music video,’ she recalled about her look from the video.

‘When you get a tan the morning of your music video, your color changes gradually throughout the day. So, I just kept on getting oranger and oranger and oranger.’

‘We had to spend so much extra money on color-grading this music video because in one part of the video, I’m this color orange, and then I’m this color orange in the next part of the music video,’ she explained.

The Santa Barbara born star also gave her fans some useful advice: ‘Kids, just a little tip: fake tans, night before.’ The American Idol judge also shared an inside scoop on one of her costumes – a pair of iridescent blue shorts and a cupcake bra. 

She revealed that the shorts were made from Diesel jeans ‘that were cut and bedazzled.’  The video sees Perry in a number of colorful outfits as she frolics in a Candyland reminiscent land along with rapper Snoop Dogg, 51. 

The Harleys In Hawaii hitmaker released California Gurls in 2010. The song was the lead single from her third studio album, Teenage Dream. 

Elsewhere in the Vogue segment, Perry revealed the secret reason behind her viral ‘doll eye’ talent, joking that it’s to watch her glam squad.

The pop star disclosed that she likes to keep an eye on her hair and makeup teams to make sure that her look is on point. The unsettling skill is akin to a long-lasting wink, allowing Perry to keep one eye open at all times.
