Katy Perry Dons A Mesh Orange Dress For The 'American Idol' Finale
For the finale, Katy was obviously dressed to the nines in an orange sequined set by Giuseppe Di Morabito. The plunging crop top featured several keyhole cutouts that were accented with rose decals on the bodice. The maxi skirt, on the other hand, had a matching orange sheer mesh design with coordinating high-waisted briefs underneath. The crystal-embellished top cost $1,153 while the skirt cost $701.
The "Last Friday Night" singer accessorized with a pair of diamond stud earrings and a pair of orange crocodile strappy heels from Aquazzura. The heels cost $825. She styled her iconic black tresses in side-parted, beachy waves. As for makeup, Katy added sparkly eyeshadow, full lashes, rosy blush, and light pink lipstick.
The American Idol host is might be leaving the show after this season. This is because Katy is allegedly upset with the show for editing the show to make her look like more of a "bully" to contestants. Viewers want the singer to be permanently replaced in the new season because of her behavior.
Fans of the show also called for Katy's removal after six seasons when she was temporarily replaced by "Ironic" singer Alanis Morissette when she attended and performed at King Charles III's coronation.
Fan Comments
Katy shared her OOTN to her Instagram with the caption, "Orange u glad it was a great #idolfinale?" She can be seen posing behind the scenes. Her fans commented their praise of her ensemble, "Serve after serve after serve. They just keep coming," one person wrote, while another said, "Love this on you," and a third raved, "Idol will not be the same without you. Already missing you. An amazing soul you are." Several fans—including Katy's fiancé of four years, actor Orlando Bloom—filled her comment section with orange emojis to match her outfit.
Other American Idol viewers, however, slammed Katy's outfit, saying that it was more of a swimsuit than an outfit. "Is she at a swim meet?" one viewer tweeted alongside a photo of Perry clapping. And another fan tweeted, "That dress is not flattering on Katy Perry," with a Britney Spears GIF.
