Katy Perry perfects the beauty queen wave (obvs) while promoting her "Part of Me" film in Japan.

Katy Perry's been keeping it on the down low since the 2012 MTV VMAs (where she sparked a jealously monsoon after kissing One Direction's Niall Horan), but we're happy to report that her (relatively short) time away from us hasn't made her any less flawless -- if anything the girl is STILL QUEEN OF EVERYTHING, including, but not limited to: looking GORG, wearing AMAZING "Daria" nail art, and singing One Direction songs to Rihanna. So, OK, we miss you Katy. Can you come back to the States now? (And can you teach us how to paint "Daria" characters on our fingers?!)

The "Wide Awake" singer has been on tour in Japan and recently hit up Tokyo to promote her "Katy Perry: Part Of Me" movie premiere. When she wasn't being swarmed by adoring fans, Katy spent other moments wearing a cloud print dress and showing off her stellar beauty queen wave. (Quick wave tip I've picked up: It's elbow-elbow, wrist-wrist OR pretend like you're screwing in a light bulb! Thanks, "Toddlers and Tiaras!") We'd totally support Katy if she wanted to take on beauty pageants in between recording her next album -- because she'd obvs win every single category! But we also wouldn't mind seeing her take on Honey Boo Boo Child in a Total Tiara Face-Off.
