Pop star Katy Perry is beloved for her experimental fashion style which wavers from chic and sophisticated to crazy and outlandish and always inspires optimism. The singer and long-time American Idol judge has made the hit show her personal runway over the past seven seasons she's been in the hot seat. Perry bid farewell to American Idol during Sunday night's live finale—where Abi Carter was crowned the 2024 winner— and as a tribute to the star, the women of the top 12 performed a medley of her hits including "Teenage Dream," "Dark Horse" and "California Gurls."
While we know this isn't the last we'll be seeing of Perry, who is married to actor Orlando Bloom, we will miss watching her light up the American Idol stage with her signature trailblazing style. In celebration, we look back at Perry's best-of-all-time fashion hits.
