Katy Perry honored her seven seasons on “American Idol” in style Sunday.
For the show’s finale — and her final episode as a judge — the “California Gurls” singer hit the stage in a larger-than-life look designed by Heather Picchiottino featuring a silver corset, black sequined bow and a towering skirt adorned with the faces of 168 “Idol” contestants.
Perry, 39, treating the crowd to a performance with third-place contestant Jack Blocker, and stood on a platform that soared high above the stage so as to show off her expansive ensemble in its entirety.

The dress was plastered with the faces of the top 24 contestants she’s worked with during her seven seasons on the singing competition show.
“I thought a good way to honor my time here would be to put the top 24 of each season on my skirt so they were all there. It was a fun surprise because I was raising up and you just saw more and more contestants,” Perry — who joined the judge’s table with Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie in 2018 — told Entertainment Tonight after the show.
Elsewhere during the episode, Perry wore a gold metal Grace Ling corset featuring seven long-stemmed metallic roses, one for each of her seasons on the series.
