Fans quickly responded in Katy’s comments with one writing: "Absolutely stunning," while others dropped heart and fire emojis. 

Katy and her sister, Angela, launched the Firework Foundation in 2018 to reach underserved communities through the arts.

The foundation hosts a summer Camp Firework program for kids in sixth to eighth grades that Katy attends.

"The arts opened my eyes, heart and mind," she told Variety. "Whether it’s choreography, design, songwriting, [it’s about being] able to lift up these kids and help them find their value, self-worth and self-respect."

The look was part of a collaboration the Thinking of You singer did with Behr Paint and Spotify, titled Music in Color.
