She is known for her confidence and her hit singles include the track Roar.  

And Katy Perry showed that she embodied the spirit of a feline as she appeared in a bold leopard-print dress at the The Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball in London’s O2 arena on Saturday.

The 29-year-old star went for a floor-length, hot pink creation, with a thigh-split for a sexy effect which was enhanced with some black pointed-toe heels.

The dress also featured a slashed neckline which was fastened with safety pins for an edgy look.

Katy wore her raven locks slicked up into a dramatic high ponytail while she completed her look with oversized gold hoop earrings and hot pink lipstick.

The show, which is being opened by Olly Murs, sees Katy share the stage with the likes of Ellie Goulding and Tinie Tempah.

Meanwhile, Tinie Tempah has revealed to Capital that he hopes to chat with Katy backstage at the event. 

He even hinted that they could discuss a potential future collaboration.

He said: ‘I definitely want to have a chat with her because I’m a big fan of her and we were actually signed to the same label in America a while ago, so it would be great to talk to her.

‘Maybe talk about a collaboration one day who knows?’
