Season 22 of American Idol brings both victories and losses, as Katy Perry bid farewell to the show after seven years as a judge and Abi Carter was crowned winner. Naturally, all eyes are on the 21-year-old, and for good reason. Not only has she captured the world's heart with her impeccable voice and an unforgettable tribute medley to Perry, but she's served a few noteworthy style moments throughout her journey on the competition. For her performance of "Somewhere," Carter gave us a glimpse of her maximalist ability with a striking blue gown complete with gloves, rose shoulder detailing, and back cutouts joined by rosettes. Other notable looks include a silver sequined gown, a classic black dress, and a one-shoulder metallic minidress with a pleated shoulder for her big win.
As we anticipate her debut album, we gathered some of Carter's best fashion moments thus far.
