The 36-year-old dazzled in a yellow button-down halter gown, featuring a plunging neckline and a thigh-high leg slit.
She captioned the photo: ‘It’s day 26 of quarantine and we’re breaking out dresses from 14 years ago. Might have to resurrect this moment, on a red carpet, once we are out of this.’
It was accompanied with a photo of her performing Whitney Houston’s I Have Nothing on the season’s Top 6 episode in the same dress when she was 21.
That happened to be the episode where she met now husband David Foster, 70, who appeared as a guest mentor.
