But that wasn’t enough detail for Katy as the stunning dress also featured flirty feather embellishments that ran from underneath the bust to the hem.

In keeping with the theme, Katy added a pair of pink, slingback heels, metallic pink eyeshadow, and glossy pink lips.

She accessorized with sparkling silver drop earrings, and some matching rings, and wore her raven hair in a half-up style with plenty of volume at the crown.

Posting two photos on Instagram, one saw Katy creating a heart shape with her hands around her eyes as she leaned in close for the camera.

The second showed her gazing down at the floor while standing in front of a white wall decorated with 3D flowers.

She simply captioned the photos: “Sending you [heart emoji]”. Her followers were blown away by her beauty, with many leaving heart-eyes and flame emojis in the comment section.

There were also replies of people calling Katy “Perfection” and “Cute and sexy.”

Katy is leaving American Idol

Her appearance comes after she dropped the bombshell news that she is leaving American Idol after seven seasons as a judge alongside Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.

She announced her departure on Jimmy Kimmel Live on February 13, revealing she will exit the long-running ABC singing competition after the newest season wraps later this year.

“I love Idol so much!” she said. “It’s connected me with the heart of America. But I feel like I need to go out and feel that pulse to my own beat.”

When Jimmy asked what her fellow judges thought of her decision, she joked: “Well they’ll find out tonight!” before clarifying: “Well, they know that I have some things planned for this year.”

She added: “It’s going to be a very exciting year, Jimmy, for all pop star girlies. Let’s just say I’m creating space for my new wingspan.

“I feel like I need to go out and find that pulse to my own beat, you know what I’m saying, Jimmy?”
