The former glamour model was due to face questions from barristers in a specialist bankruptcy court on Tuesday in a hearing known as a public examination.
Her ex-husband, Alex Reid, also turned up to to sit in the public gallery.
But the hearing was adjourned so she can attend a “private interview” over her finances later this year.
A judge granted her request to adjourn and Katie, who wore an all-black outfit and big sunglasses, will be grilled over her money woes on September 24 instead.
Katie flashed her diamond ring outside the court and also posted a photo of it to social media.
She penned: “Shine bright like a diamond.”
She posted another photo with boyfriend John Joe Slater and wrote over the top: “Happy Days”.
Katie was first declared bankrupt in 2019.
In February this year was ordered to pay 40% of her monthly income from the adult entertainment website OnlyFans until February 2027 to help pay off her debts.
She was then declared bankrupt for a second time in March over an unpaid tax bill worth more than £750,000.
The star was arrested at Heathrow Airport earlier this month after an arrest warrant was issued in July for failing to attend a previous court date.
She was warned by a judge on August 9 to attend Tuesday’s hearing with “no ifs, no buts”, or face arrest again.
Katie will face another public hearing next year after a December date was ruled out due to Katie starring in a pantomime.
It comes as Katie was seen showing of her latest £10,000 face lift yesterday while undergoing a glam makeover.
The reality star was joined by her MAFS star boyfriend JJ Slater, 31, as they climbed into her pink Range Rover.
