KATY Perry has nearly busted out of her ruffled black dress while attending an event in London with her fiance.
The American Idol judge was seen linking arms with Orlando Bloom, 46, as the couple attended a dinner at The Twenty Two Hotel amid the competition show’s break.

Katy, 38, took on the London event in a stunning black dress that featured a plunging neckline.
The bottom of the gown featured a middle slit that was decorated with ruffles along the hem.
To dress the ensemble up even more, the Firework hitmaker opted for some silver earrings, bright red lipstick, and a pair of strappy black heels.
She wore her hair in a twisted up-do and left a few pieces of hair loose to frame the sides of her face.
On her arm, her fiance took a different approach to his style for the dinner party.
Orlando looked cool and comfortable as he sported a black zipped-up windbreaker, which he paired with matching shorts.
The actor also added a black baseball cap, white crew socks, and a pair of white sneakers.
The couple appeared to be in good spirits as they were photographed walking into the London hotel while smiling at one another.
TIME IN LONDON TOWN
Prior to the prestigious dinner, hosted by hotel owner Jamie Reuben, Katy and Orlando were spotted at a London concert among other A-list celebrities.
Comedian Chelsea Handler, 48, shared photos to her Instagram on Sunday featuring the Last Friday Night singer at the concert.
The photos showed the Chelsea Does star hanging out with Katy, Orlando, and other celebrities at the Bruce Springsteen concert held at London’s Hyde Park.
Gathered with the trio were director Judd Apatow, 55, his wife, actress Leslie Mann, 51, and Los Angeles-based jeweler Irene Neuwirth.
While in London, Katy also appeared at Wimbledon with her fiance and stepson.
The American Idol judge has been enjoying some family time amid a break from the show after its latest season finale in May.
IDOL BACKLASH
Katy has also been rumored to be quitting the show after receiving backlash this year.
Katy first became a judge on the hit competition show in 2018.
This past season, fans accused the reality show judge of shaming a 16-year-old contestant during her tense audition.
Katy revealed shortly after that she is ready to leave American Idol after feeling betrayed by producers and receiving fan backlash.
The hitmaker, who has been a judge of the hit competition singing series for the past six years, said she has repeatedly felt “thrown under the bus” by those on the show’s back end, sources revealed to the Daily Mail.
The insiders continued: “Katy became aware of the harsh criticism. Getting booed really upset her. She was trying to stay in her lane, do her job, and go home.
“She went into it thinking she was going to foster young talent. For her good intentions to be misinterpreted it was not what she wanted.
“She has accomplished so much in her career and is now being looked at as a nasty reality show judge.
“Katy’s wanted out for some time now, but this season was way too much for her to handle.”
The sources also said no paycheck amount could convince the pop star to stay after what she believes the show has now done to her legacy.
FAMILY MATTER
Last month, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Katy is considering quitting the show to spend more time with her two-year-old daughter Daisy, according to an ABC insider.
The American Idol insider shared Katy has been contemplating her future for months as she has spoken about her desire to grow her family, spend more time with Orlando, and continue her own musical career away from the show.
On the family front, the source claimed Katy has spoken about wanting a “baby brother or sister” for Daisy.
Katy reportedly “wants to rectify” her busy schedule taking time away from Orlando, as the source continued: “With both of them working so much on projects, time as a family is also very precious.”
“She’s spoken about wanting more sleep and feeling a lot more emotional than usual this season,” the insider revealed.
As for her career, the source shared Katy would like to tour the world again “on her terms” too, rather than doing a hefty schedule across multiple continents.
Katy’s hesitation about joining American Idol’s next season may have a financial motivation.
“The money she could earn from a few stadium gigs could eclipse the deal that ABC can offer,” the insider added.
Katy’s $30million salary for American Idol, including the endorsement deals, is unlikely to be increased for the new season.
The source continued: “She’s been busting her butt making Idol a success, balancing the Vegas shows and family life with Daisy and Orlando.
“People forget she has balanced the show through a world tour, pregnancy, and being a mom.”
