Painting of Katy Perry dressed as a cupcake will hang next to Madonna and Beyonce at National Portrait Gallery

Katy Perry is getting an honor usually reserved for later in life. Her portrait is joining the collection at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C.

The museum said Wednesday May 21,2014 that a 2010 portrait of Ms Perry by artist Will Cotton, entitled 'Cupcake Katy,' will go on view beginning June 18. It will be part of a rotating display of recently acquired portraits

The tongue-in-cheek picture depicts Katy Perry(29) as a cupcake - with the cake's foils comprising her dress and its colorful toppings forming a headband.
