Last week, the first promo for Katie’s season dropped.
She said in the commercial: “I don’t regret being myself. I know what I deserve. I never want to stop pursuing love.
“I am who I am and I want to meet someone who knows who they are. My person is still out there.”

The Star Style Instagram account posted: “They have Katie wearing a Saint Laurent latex skirt backward for the first Bachelorette promo.”
Here For the Right Reasons podcaster, Sarah Hearon joined in on the criticism, sharing: “We need to talk about the skirt again. She is wearing it backward.”
