Katy Perry is the latest celeb to get caught up in the blackface-minstrel scandal.
I am not sure who thought these were good shoes to market.
Katy Perry’s shoe that is under scrutiny for resembling blackface is about to be yanked … TMZ has learned.
Katy’s got a whole shoe line for sale at retailers like Dillard’s and Walmart — and a couple of her designs feature what looks similar to blackface … the “Rue Face Slip On Loafers” and its high-heeled counterpart, “Ora Face Block Heel Sandal.”
The “face” shoes have two eyes, a nose and red lips on them, and they come in two different colors … black and beige. The black one is problematic, because it looks a lot like classic blackface makeup, which the fashion world does not seem to recognize time and again.
