Orlando Bloom Spotted With Katy Perry Lookalike at Met Gala After-Party While Singer Parties Nearby — Photo

Orlando Bloom's latest Met Gala after-party appearance quickly sparked buzz online, and not just because of the company he kept. Fans immediately noticed one detail that sent social media into overdrive.

The actor was spotted arriving alongside influencer Meredith Duxbury during a night packed with celebrities, fashion, and late-night parties across New York City. But it was the internet's reaction to Duxbury's appearance that became the bigger story.

With Katy Perry attending the Met Gala and nearby after-parties around the same time, fans wasted no time drawing comparisons.

A Late-Night Arrival Gets Attention

According to a post shared by 21 Met Gala, Bloom and Duxbury were seen arriving together at Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna's Met Gala after-party following Monday night's event in New York City.

The sighting quickly spread online, especially after the Daily Mail reported that Bloom appeared to be getting cozy with the influencer and model during the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Duxbury, known for her beauty and fashion content on Instagram, has built a large online following over the past few years. But after photos from the party surfaced, much of the internet focused less on her influencer career and more on who fans thought she resembled.

Fans Compare Meredith Duxbury to Katy Perry

Social media users quickly pointed out what they believed was a striking similarity between Duxbury and Perry. Under one Instagram post discussing the sighting, one person wrote, "Suspiciously similar to Katy Perry. 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀"

Another added, "Well he has a type," a sentiment that was echoed over on X: "Men break up with their girls then finds her twin to date."

Others focused on the age gap between Bloom and Duxbury, with one comment reading, "She's 27 he's just about 50.. smh." An X echoed, "She's half his age."

Not every reaction centered on the rumored resemblance. Some users instead commented on Bloom's appearance, with one person asking, "Yo, what happened to his face 😮?"

Another wrote, "You can tell he got work and I wish he had not." The conversation continued on Facebook, where users echoed many of the same observations.

"Seems he has a type that resemble [sic] Katy!" one commenter wrote. Another added, "My man Bloom definitely has a type! Loves his dark haired women. I doubt you'll ever see these comments but rooting for you Bloom. Wish you and yours well."

Others took a more supportive approach, including one user who wrote, "He deserves to be happy. Whoever he chooses I hope it lasts."

Katy Perry Was Also Partying in New York

Coincidentally, Perry was also in New York during the Met Gala festivities and attended after-parties the same night. On May 4, pictures captured Perry attending the 2026 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Meanwhile, Fox News reported that Perry attended one of the many after-parties that took over New York City following the gala.

The outlet noted that Perry swapped her dramatic Met Gala look — which included a futuristic face mask and white gown — for a softer after-party outfit featuring a pale pink dress with a textured hem.

That overlap in locations only fueled more online discussion after Bloom and Duxbury were seen together elsewhere that same night.

Bloom and Perry's Relationship History

Bloom and Perry were first romantically linked in 2016 and later became one of Hollywood's most recognizable couples. According to BBC News, the pair briefly split in 2017 before reconciling and getting engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019.

The following year, Perry revealed she was pregnant in the music video for her song "Never Worn White." Their daughter, Daisy Dove, was born later in 2020.

In July 2025, representatives for the pair released a joint statement saying the two had been "shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting."

The statement added that they would continue appearing together publicly as a family while prioritizing "raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect."

Bloom was previously married to Miranda Kerr, with whom he shares 15-year-old son Flynn. Perry was previously married to Russell Brand.

Days after Bloom and Perry confirmed their split, the singer sparked headlines of her own during a series of outings with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Perry Also Sparked Dating Speculation After the Split

As we had previously reported, Perry left fans buzzing after playfully addressing rumors about her love life on stage in London — just days after being spotted getting cozy with Trudeau during a romantic yacht getaway.

Perry appeared to drop a cheeky hint about her romantic status during her Lifetimes Tour stop at The O₂ Arena in London on Monday night, October 13, 2025 — just days after she was photographed kissing Trudeau on her yacht.

A Surprise Proposal During Her Concert

The 41-year-old pop superstar stunned the crowd when she invited an English fan named Darren on stage, only to be met with a surprise proposal. Holding up a sign that read "Katy Perry, will you marry me?", the eager admirer caught the singer completely off guard.

But Perry quickly set the record straight with her trademark wit. "You heard I was single? That's interesting," she told the fan, before jokingly adding, "You know you really should have asked me about 48 hours ago."

As the audience erupted in laughter, Perry broke into a playful rendition of JoJo's 2006 hit, singing, "He's just a little too late."

The two were reportedly first linked shortly after Perry's split from actor Orlando Bloom. According to a source, the pair initially bonded in Montreal in July 2025, when Perry was still reeling from her breakup.

At the time, she wasn't looking to date, but they kept in touch and realized they shared many interests, the insider said.

Since then, their connection has only deepened. "He's been pursuing her since," the source added. "He even flew to California to see her during a tour break. They have an easy connection. She finds him attractive. He's been very respectful."

Moving On in Style

While neither Perry nor Trudeau has publicly confirmed their relationship, the singer's teasing comments in London seemed to speak volumes. Dazzling in a bright jungle-themed outfit and backed by an adoring crowd, Perry looked every inch the pop powerhouse — confident, playful, and seemingly smitten.

Her playful response on stage came shortly after photos surfaced of Perry and Trudeau enjoying a sun-soaked yacht getaway, fueling speculation that their relationship has turned romantic.

Months after rumors of a short-lived romance, Perry and Trudeau were seen showing affection aboard a yacht in California, reigniting speculation about their relationship. They put their rumored romance on full display in photos first published on October 11, 2025.

The pair were spotted packing on the PDA aboard Perry's yacht, "the Caravelle," off the coast of Santa Barbara, California.

In one photo, Trudeau is seen kissing Perry's cheek while pulling her in for a hug. In another, the singer cozied up to the politician as he placed his hand on her bottom.

Perry and Trudeau Were First Linked in July 2025

The rumored couple were first seen together in July 2025, dining at Le Violon in Montreal. An eyewitness shared that the two enjoyed each other's company as they devoured several dishes and sipped cocktails.

After the meal, they reportedly walked into the kitchen to thank the staff before leaving the restaurant.

Trudeau was also spotted at Perry's sold-out concert in Montreal, attending with his 16-year-old daughter, Ella-Grace.

Fans Show Support for Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's Relationship

Fans were quick to react to the budding romance following their latest sighting, especially following Perry's split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom and Trudeau's 2023 separation from Sophie Gregoire.

"Good for them .. they deserve to be happy just like anyone else ❤️," one supporter wrote. "They make a great couple!❤️🙌 I wish them the best together. They are both good people. 👏👏👏👏👏👏" another echoed. "Good for them 👏👏," a third added.

"She would be a wonderful First Lady," said a fan. "Wow— that was definitely not in my bingo card. 😩🤦🏽‍♀️ [sic]" commented another surprised netizen.

Netizens Questioned Justin Trudeau's Yachting Outfit

But while many expressed support, others were quick to critique Trudeau's yacht attire — specifically, his choice of jeans, which stood in stark contrast to Perry's sleek black swimsuit.

"why is he wearing jeans at sea 😭 [sic]" one person asked. "Jeans?? Oh JT noooo 🙈 [sic]" another posted.

Their Romance Was First Reported to Have Fizzled Out Quickly

Initially, reports claimed their romance fizzled out after July due to Trudeau feeling overwhelmed by the attention that came with dating a global pop star. The pair had reportedly been texting non-stop, but a Daily Mail source said it ended within two weeks.

The former prime minister was also said to be unhappy that photos of their private date were leaked.

"It was a first date. A first date! And these pictures came out and it became this huge thing, which is not what he seems to have wanted," a source said.

While Perry appeared unfazed, insiders say it was Trudeau who felt uncomfortable with the sudden spotlight — an inauspicious start to what had seemed like a promising relationship.

Still, during Perry's concert, Trudeau appeared loud and proud, singing and dancing along to her greatest hits, including "Dark Horse" and "Firework."

At first, their rumored romance was met with mixed reactions from fans. Mixed fan reactions ranged from disbelief to wild theories, with some questioning if their sighting signaled romance, or something different, and more transactional.

A viral TikTok from July 2025 showed him smiling broadly and holding onto the railing in front of him. The sighting initially drew attention due to escalating rumors of a possible romance, fueled by several recent public appearances together.

The clip was shared by TikTok user @avocado6713 and quickly went viral, amplified by the trending audio: "I think the next plot twist is that things are about to get really good. I think this world is going to open up for you in unimaginable ways."

Reactions in the comments were mixed. Some users were amused or supportive, with one fan writing, “A romance story between an astronaut and ex-prime minister,” and another adding “I dont blame her, hes extremely hot [sic].”

Others expressed disbelief. One fan said, “Katy Perry seeing Justin Trudeau in 2025 was not on my bingo card,” and another declared that “we’re in a simulation.” A netizen chimed in to say that “This year can't get any weirder.”

A few commenters were skeptical, with one netizen asking, "AI right...? I'm scared.” Another commenter speculated, “Guys, I don't think they’re dating. I think he's securing connections for his son’s music career,” and a third added: "i feel he just wants a career for his son lmao [sic]"

Speculation surrounding a possible romance between Perry and Trudeau intensified after multiple sightings in Montreal the day before the concert. TMZ reported that the pair was seen together throughout the city, enjoying what appeared to be a day-long outing.

Their post read: "A casual stroll, a swanky dinner, and now TMZ can reveal that #KatyPerry and #JustinTrudeau wrapped it up with cozy drinks out on a terrace — that's a really long hangout session for two A-listers ... but sure, they're totally 'just friends.' 👀"

TMZ further fueled curiosity with a Facebook reel showing Perry and Trudeau dining at an upscale Montreal restaurant.

The video, captioned, "#KatyPerry is saying ‘bon appétit’ to #JustinTrudeau ... as the pair was seen chowing down at a swanky restaurant in Montreal," captured the two engaged in a lively, private conversation.

The recent sightings come amid a major shift in Perry’s personal life. Earlier in July 2025, she and longtime fiancé Orlando Bloom confirmed their breakup after nearly a decade together.
