Katy Perry wears Cong Tri design at American Idol

In the latest episode of the ABC singing competition TV series, Perry attracted attention with an all-back outfit and a sexy top, complimented by shiny leather pants and pointy heels, the getup was different from her usual "exotic" look on the show.

The top, designed by Cong Tri, is sexy but doesn’t reveal too much. Although the design might look simple, it took a large amount of time to get the desired "lantern-like" effect of the design.
