Sexy: The singer, 32, slipped her enviably leggy figure into the colourful gown
The Hot N Cold singer commanded attention in plethora of sexy outfits the night before for her stage show.
These included a leotard pulled into a high-neck in a bid to remain demure, but cut off at a daring height at her hip to leave almost all of her long and lean legs on show.
She upped the sex appeal further on this look with fishnet tights and PVC thigh-high boots – but maintained her usual quirky style with the shoes’ polka dot pattern.
Making the look far more elaborate, the leotard then featured a flamenco-style skirt, which cascaded down one side of her body in striking ruffles of matching polka dot.

Tying her outfit together with a dramatic disc headpiece and bright red lipstick, Katy ensured all eyes were on her as she performed a number of her hits for the crowd.
Not stopping there, she later changed into a stunning pink gown embellished with chunky jewels, and a more trendy crop top and checked trouser combo.
Katy kicked off her fourth world tour, to accompany her recent album Witness, in Quebec, Canada earlier this month.
The show is set to travel across the United States, before heading over the UK and Europe, and finishing in New Zealand next summer.
As well as performing, Katy is also anticipating the release of her new YouTube documentary, titled Will You Be My Witness?

The behind-the-scenes special followed the singer nonstop during the 72-hour live stream, ahead of the release of her fifth-studio album Witness.
With her career only going from strength to strength however, Katy also recently signed a $25million contract to use her musical expertise and judge the reboot of American Idol.
The singer will be joining Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan on the panel, while fan favourite Ryan Seacrest will be returning as host.
Speaking about the appointment in August, the I Kissed A Girl crooner admitted she was hoping to be one of the stricter members of the line-up – comparing herself to the famous British judge and Syco owner.
She told Billboard: ‘I’m going to maybe be more the Simon Cowell.
‘I really respect him. As much as people said, ‘oh, he’s grumpy or he’s mean,’ he was just truthful, you know? I don’t need to be there to win the popular race, I just need to be there to find someone I can make their dreams come true.’
