She’s one of the music industry’s biggest stars.
And Katy Perry certainly looked the part Monday as she attended a party ABC held in Los Angeles conjunction with the Television Critics Association’s Winter Press Tour.
The 33-year-old – who inked a $25 million pact with the network as its star judge – stole the show fashion-wise in a sleek, low-cut silver dress with matching silver heels at the swanky event, held at The Langham Huntington in Pasadena.

The Roar ringer accessorized perfectly with a diamond choker and earring, with her short, blonde ‘do with dark sides. She was impeccably made up, with smoky eye shadow and bold red lipstick.
It was a busy day for the Chained to the Rhythm performer, who earlier appeared on a panel for the show alongside her colleagues on the reality TV reboot, Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie and Ryan Seacrest, as well as execs Jennifer Mullin, Trish Kinane and Megan Michaels Wolflick.
At that event, the Firework songstress wore a sheer black jumpsuit with diamond patterns and a gold necklace. The famed fashionista rounded out the flashy get-up with white pumps.
The group has been busy working on the show since the summertime, as they went on a 23-city tour to conduct auditions to find the next big star, on a show that’s launched the careers of Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson.
