Pop culture icon: The corset was one of Madonna's go to outfits in the 1990s

In a series of American Idol promos for Mother’s Day, Katy Perry took inspiration from Madonna’s iconic 1990s fashion. The pop star channeled the Material Girl’s style by donning a corset mini dress. One picture captures Katy from the waist up, gazing off to her left, while showcasing the corset’s striking resemblance to Madonna’s signature look. However, Perry’s corset differs in one aspect – instead of pointed cups, she opts for a slightly modified design. In two of the remaining three photos, Katy confidently faces the camera with a seductive gaze, exuding Madonna’s fierce attitude.
