Katy Perry is finishing her time up at American Idol, participating in her final Disney Night.

Each year, the "Teenage Dream" singer goes all out with her costume for the episode, taking on a different character with each out-of-this-world look.

The "California Gurls" songstress went traditional this year, appearing as Cinderella for season 22. In the audience, Perry's daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, made a rare appearance. She appeared to also be dressed as Cinderella as she was propped up on the lap of her father, Orlando Bloom, Page Six reports.

The Perry-Bloom family appear to be big Disney fans, after Daisy sported a Minnie Mouse dress at her first public appearance when she attended Perry's final Las Vegas residency performance. She cheered her mother on from the audience as the 39-year-old singer called her her "best friend."

As her final Disney Night episode is complete, check out all seven of Perry's wild costumes that she has worn throughout her lengthy tenure as a judge on the singing competition series.

Snow White (Season 16)

Perry celebrated her very first Disney Night as a judge on American Idol by dressing up as Snow White. Sporting the character's signature curly bob and iconic blue and yellow dress, she slipped in and out of Snow White's voice, sounding just like the animated character from the classic 1937 feature.

Ursula From 'The Little Mermaid' (Season 17)

After starting off as a princess, Perry made her debut as a villain in 2019. Painted entirely purple, the singer chowed down on crab legs and shrimp cocktail while she played around with her fake tentacles. "I was thinking about Little Mermaid, but then I realized that Ursula is a character that isn't done very much. [Ariel] always gets her moment in the sun," Perry joked to Entertainment Tonight. "Ursula really just wants Ariel's voice and that's all I want. I want these contestants' voices."

Mrs. Jumbo From 'Dumbo' (Season 18)

During the infamous Covid-19 season in 2020, Perry dressed up as Mrs. Jumbo, Dumbo's mother from the classic animated movie. Pregnant at the time, Perry prepared for her new role as a mother in a giant elephant costume. Her dog, Nugget, was dressed as Dumbo while she held him throughout the episode.

Tinkerbell From 'Peter Pan' (Season 19)

Returning to their live studio for season 19, Perry dressed as Tinkerbell. She channeled the animated fairy with blonde hair and bleached eyebrows, putting on the character's signature green dress and fairy wings.

Ariel From 'The Little Mermaid' (Season 20)

After considering dressing up as the character in 2019, Perry took on the role of Ariel in 2022 - this time with a twist. The "Never Really Over" singer's The Little Mermaid-inspired costume was an almost action figure-like look. Her hard hair looked like it was flowing in the water, while her stiff mermaid tale made it impossible for her to move. She held up her "dinglehopper" fork as she was wheeled out onto the stage, alongside fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.

Elastigirl From 'The Incredibles' (Season 21)

Since her Ariel costume severely impaired her mobility, Perry's 2023 look was much more flexible. She appeared as Elastigirl, also known as Mrs. Incredible, in a brunette wig and skin-tight spandex costume. Dressing up as a Disney mom was Perry's way of celebrating Mother's Day that year, since the episode fell on the holiday.

Cinderella (Season 22)

Perry finished out her iconic run of Disney night costumes with a classic Disney look. When she first appeared onstage, she wore the ripped up pink dress that Cinderella is left with, before transforming into the iconic blue dress. Perry spinned around as she magically shed the pink dress and was made over into the beloved princess.
