Katy Perry’s Mesmerizing Madonna-Inspired Look Ignites Instagram for American Idol Promotion

Katy Perry found her fashion inspiration from 90s Madonna when planning her Mother’s Day promo for American Idol. The talented singer showcased her stylish ensemble on Instagram, treating her fans to a series of four photos. The stunning lavender corset mini dress she wore brought out her beauty and was paired with a clever wordplay in the caption. Katy playfully wrote, ‘You surely can’t miss watching #americanidol rn riiight?’ She effortlessly struck poses while confidently rocking the alluring outfit.

Idol promo frenzy: The Firework star first posted a series of four photos of herself decked out in a lavender corset

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

Taking inspiration from an iconic figure of the past, Katy Perry recently showcased her resemblance to Madonna’s 1990s style in a series of American Idol promos for Mother’s Day. Opting for a corset mini dress, the 37-year-old singer, whose birth name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, effortlessly channels Madonna’s fashion influence. In one particular photo, Katy is captured from the waist up, gazing towards her left with an air of confidence. While her corset resembles Madonna’s signature yesteryear style, there is one noticeable difference – the absence of pointed cups that Madonna often favored. In two out of the three remaining pictures, Perry strikes a bold pose, directly facing the camera with a captivating, seductive look.

“Mom, don’t spill the beans. Don’t tell them that you’re feeling down. Are you feeling sad, mom?” she inquired, to which her mother responded with a series of amused crowing sounds, resembling that of a bird.
