Katy Perry has been serving one fierce look after another on the current season of American Idol, which will reportedly be her final one, much to the devastation of her fans.

And that was once again the case when she wore a fiery figure-hugging Bottega Veneta dress on the latest episode, which came complete with a plunging front, structured shoulders, and a dropped waist. It was a work of art, and the 39-year-old “Roar” singer looked absolutely incredible in it!

Katy Perry Suffers A Wardrobe Malfunction Behind The Scenes

It wasn't just the dress that commanded attention, as the styling was also on point too thanks to the iconic red opera gloves, white mule sandals, and a matching seductive bold red lip. While the "Dark Horse" singer slayed on stage and in some of the pictures she shared with her fans, it was an entirely different story behind the scenes…

The mom-of-one candidly shared a video of herself backstage on Instagram, having what appeared to be a slight wardrobe malfunction as she struggled to get the dress off at the end of the show. "I can't get this dress off," a deflated Katy says in the video as she is slumped in a chair. Someone in the background can be heard saying, "We can cut it off," to which Katy replies: "You just can't cut Bottega."

"We've been cutting kids on #idol but you can't cut bottega," the "Harleys in Hawaii" singer captioned her post, alongside a sad face emoji and the scissors emoji.

Fan Comments

Commenting on Katy's post featuring some jaw-dropping pictures of the dress, one fan said, "Katy Perry always so iconic," followed by a pink heart emoji. "Stunning!" exclaimed another, as a third fan said "I am in love." "Slay momma," raved another fan.

And then of course were the comments to Katy's hilarious video which saw her explain that she couldn't get the dress off, which will no doubt live rent-free in fans' minds for many years to come.

"Queen!! I think Daisy someday will look at these videos and be like 'and that's why I'm as goofy and cute as my mom,'" wrote one fan, while others had conflicting views about how she should get out of the dress. "Cutting bottega is crazy tbh," noted one fan, while another concurred, writing: "Don't cut it you look so pretty in it." Another wrote, "Cut it," followed by three crying laughing emojis.
