Katy Perry Covers Herself With Pillow After Wardrope Malfunction At American Idol - Video

On the latest live airing of "American Idol," Katy Perry experienced a fashion mishap that could've turned into a full-blown wardrobe disaster. The pop star and judge was all glammed up in a custom metallic silver top by designer Kate Barton, a piece that had garnered plenty of love from fans on social media prior to the show. However, as contestant Roman Collins delivered a powerful rendition of James Brown's "It's a Man's Man's Man's World," Perry's top couldn't withstand the excitement and broke.

Quick thinking and a cushion helped Perry avoid an on-air reveal, as she used it to cover herself and ducked under the judges' desk. She later posted a video on Instagram, humorously captioned "My top broke #idol," showing her plea to the wardrobe team to keep her top in place. Perry made light of the situation, jokingly blaming the contestant's performance for the wardrobe malfunction, saying, "That song broke my top off... I guess it is a woman's world!"

The incident sparked a playful banter among the "American Idol" judges. Luke Bryan, Perry's fellow judge, saw an opportunity for humor, quipping about the potential for a ratings boost. Meanwhile, Lionel Richie playfully accused Bryan of being the culprit behind Perry's fashion faux pas, although Perry herself later clarified that it was all just a memorable TV moment, and not an actual malfunction.

Behind the scenes, the "American Idol" crew rushed to Perry's aid. Bryan even offered a comedic attempt to help with a pair of tiny scissors before thinking better of it. The show must go on, and it did, with Perry reappearing on screen, arms wrapped around her chest, and later seated with a pillow strategically placed for modesty.

Katy Perry's wardrobe malfunction became a highlight of the evening, with the star taking it in stride and adding it to her list of live TV adventures. She reflected on the incident, calling it an "interesting moment" and a part of her expressive nature, which seems to manifest in physical ways on the "American Idol" stage. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Perry's spirits remained high, and she continued to celebrate her love for the outfit and the excitement of live television.
