Katy Perry stuns as she shows skin in a sexy sheer orange number with cutouts for American Idol finale

Katy Perry captivated audiences across the country on Monday night as she appeared in a sheer orange dress from Giuseppe Di Morabito for the American Idol season 21 finale

The 38-year-old songstress - who recently posed with beau Orlando Bloom - showed off her figure in the clinging, mesh, stone-covered gown.

The sleeveless number featured cutouts across the bodice, which exposed the star's ample cleavage and toned midriff.

Katy teamed the look, which was styled by Tatiana Waterford, AQUAZZURA's So Nude 105 Croc Effect open-toe heels. 

The star took to Instagram after the show to share pictures and cheekily write in a caption: 'orange u glad it was a great #idolfinale?'

Her fiancé, 46, showed support for his bride-to-be as he appeared in the comments twice - once to drop a flame emoji, and again to share a peach emoji.

Katy's 198 million followers on the photo-sharing app liked the post more than 75,000 times within the first hour it was uploaded.

The California-bred singer-songwriter protected her modesty by donning high-waisted orange briefs under the frock.

The stunning fashion piece was adorned with three flower-like accoutrements set along each tier of cutouts.

The beauty, who is mom to two-year-old daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, wore her lengthy raven locks down.

Her hair was styled with an undefined side part as one side cascaded over her shoulder in a loose but structured wave.

Katy, born Katheryn Hudson, accessorized with diamond stud earrings and her oval cut ruby engagement ring. 

Her short, natural-looking nails were manicured in a baby pink hue, coordinating with her pedicure.
