SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA: 'American Idol' Season 22 judge Katy Perry opted for a weird outfit for her latest ABC show appearance which drew trolls from her fellow judge Luke Bryan as well as the viewers. During the Top 20 reveal episode, Katy donned a floor-length black sheer dress. The pop singer's outfit featured a glittering silver criss-cross design.

Katy's dress also had the giant grey and black pom-poms scattered all over the dress. Host Ryan Seacrest introduced the judges and commented on Luke's pants at the beginning of the three-hour-long episode. Ryan pointed out how Luke's pants have been getting tighter every episode while Lionel Richie's has been getting looser.

Katy chimed in the conversation and revealed, "And Luke said I look like the inside of a car wash." However, Luke wasn't the only one to troll Katy for her outfit choice as multiple critics took to social media and trolled her dress. An X user tweeted, "Not the end photo and me going through a car wash yesterday."

Another viewer said, "You are stunning Katy but this dress? Well, I honestly don't know what to think. Lol, You look great in it but it's sooo...different?" Another social media user commented, "Hopefully no hedgehogs were harmed in the making of @katyperry‘s dress."
