She has built a reputation on fearless style and powerhouse pop anthems, including her chart hit Roar.
And Katy Perry leaned fully into her wild side on Saturday, arriving at Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball at London’s O2 Arena in a striking leopard-print gown.
The 29-year-old singer chose a floor-skimming hot pink design, complete with a thigh-high split that added a sultry edge, paired with sleek black pointed heels.

The dress also featured a daring slashed neckline, held together with safety pins for a tougher, punk-inspired finish.
Katy styled her dark hair into a dramatic high ponytail, finishing the look with oversized gold hoop earrings and a vivid swipe of hot pink lipstick.
The event, opened by Olly Murs, also featured performances from stars including 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?’
