Katy Perry was looking purr-fect as she promoted Monday’s episode of American Idol.
In the snaps, the 38-year-old performer wore a stunning animal print dress at the Aulani Disney Resort in Hawaii, where the show is being taped.
The Fireworks singer, who recently revealed her plans for a new album and tour, has served as a judge on the hugely popular singing competition series ever since 2018.
The California Gurls singer added elements of shine to her look with a pair of gold earrings.
Her beautiful jet-black hair cascaded onto her back and contrasted well with the vibrant tone of her clothing.
She also penned a short message in her post’s caption where she referred to herself as ‘Jane of the Jungle.’
Perry began appearing as a judge on American Idol during its sixteenth season, which aired in 2018.
The program initially premiered in 2002 and ran for fifteen seasons, the last of which aired in 2015.
The Teenage Dream singer has been featured alongside fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, who also joined the program after it was revamped.
Ryan Seacrest has served as the series’ longtime host and has remained with the show ever since its initial premiere.
Perry was recently the subject of controversy regarding her treatment of former contestant Sara Beth Liebe, who appeared on the program’s ongoing 21st season.
The singer, who was a target of commentary about her status as a young mother, eventually dropped out of the program.
The Dark Horse singer spoke about working on the program during an interview with Billboard, where she expressed that contestants did not necessarily have to win the program to reap its benefits.
‘I think, really, this show is about mentorship and momentum…if you can place high – in the top 10, in the top 20 – just hustle your way and launch off of this,’ she said.
Perry went on to state that contestants on the program should not expect their careers to be as straightforward as their time on the show.
‘no one’s getting out of it besides one person, so get used to the Band-Aid getting ripped off. And truly, honestly, that’s the real world,’ she said.
