Katy Perry has revealed the artwork for her new album 'Teenage Dream' ahead of its release next month.

The eye-catching cover shows Perry nestled naked on a cloud of cotton candy, with only the cloud protecting her modesty.

Painted by Will Cotton over a six-week period, Perry debuted the artwork on her official website.

"It's so gorgeous. I'm so excited. I'm nervous. I'm shaking a bit. This will be my first piece of real art,” she said.

Unlike most album covers, 'Teenage Dream' won't feature any text. "Hopefully they know it's me by the actual picture,” Perry added.

The album, which is the follow-up to 2008's 'One For The Boys', is due to be released on August 30.
