She officially announced her pregnancy earlier this week.
And Katy Perry certainly isn’t shy about showing off her growing baby bump, with the pop princess sporting a tight multicoloured cocktail dress at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 event at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday.
The 35-year-old is currently in Australia for a number of promotional events and to perform a benefit concert to raise money for the devastating bushfire crisis.

Katy’s stylish frock hugged her figure in all the right places, easily allowing for a clear glimpse of her growing bump.
She styled her peroxide blonde hair in a trendy bob and accessorised with strappy orange heels and gaudy earrings.
The Fireworks songstress certainly had a pregnancy glow about her, and was smiling brightly as she posed for photos.

On Thursday morning, Katy revealed her baby bump at the end of the video for her new single Never Worn White.
‘There’s a lot that’s happening this summer. Not only will I be giving birth, literally, and figuratively… to something you guys have been waiting for,’ she said just an hour after the video’s premiere on Instagram, while revealing her growing bump.
In the short livestream, Katy revealed her child with fiancé Orlando Bloom, who shares nine-year-old son Flynn with his supermodel ex Miranda Kerr, would be born sometime in the summer months.

When asked about her feelings on becoming a mother, she expressed eagerness, as well as overwhelming relief in finally being able to share her news with the world.
She said: ‘I’m excited, we’re excited, and happy. It’s probably the longest secret I’ve ever had to keep. I thought I would tell you guys in the best way through a piece of music.’
Katy and Orlando, 43, were first linked when they were seen flirting at the Golden Globe Awards in January 2016, and went public with their relationship a few months later in May at the Cannes Film Festival.
The couple parted ways just over a year later in March 2017, but the split wasn’t to last and they got back together later that year.
The actor proposed to Katy on Valentine’s Day in 2019, presenting her with a ruby ring in a classic floral halo design in yellow gold.
Meanwhile, Katy is in town for the ICC T20 Women’s World Cup cricket final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday.
She will then perform at a free concert for Victoria’s bushfire-ravaged community at Bright’s Pioneer Park on March 11.
Locals from the bushfire-affected town of Corryong will be bussed to the concert, with tickets also allocated to communities in the northeast and emergency services workers.
Victoria’s alpine region relies heavily on tourism and suffered last summer as visitors avoided the area due to the heavy smoke haze and bushfire fears.
‘As a native Southern Californian, I know firsthand the devastation of wildfire across my home communities, and was particularly (heartbroken emoji) by the Australian bushfires,’ Katy posted to Instagram.
‘Australia has always given me so much love and support so FIGHT ON is one way to return that love, and help provide a little bit of joy to a country that’s given me so much joy.’
Tourism Minister Martin Pakula said the free show was just the boost the region needed.
‘It will be incredibly exciting for many people who have had a really tough summer, and it recognises the outstanding efforts of our emergency services,’ he said in a statement.
