Rachel Lynn Matthews dresses up as Katy Perry while hanging out with Orlando Bloom at Halloween

Actress Rachel Lynn Matthews drew attention online after appearing to dress as pop star Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom’s former partner, during a Halloween event that quickly went viral.

The playful choice sparked debate across social media, with fans calling it everything from bold humour to unsettling behaviour.

The images, widely circulated online, prompted mixed reactions. Some users praised the light-hearted nod to Bloom’s past, while others labelled the move “psychotic behaviour.”

One Facebook user commented, “Katy is with Justin Trudeau, so I’d say she’s winning this one,” referring to Perry’s recently confirmed relationship with the Canadian Prime Minister. Another wrote, “If my partner dressed up as my most recent ex for Halloween, I would feel very unsettled.” Others saw it as harmless fun, with one noting, “It is kind of funny, though.”

Speculation also arose about whether Matthews and Bloom attended the event together or simply crossed paths at the same party. “I just want to know if they’re really dating or she was just at the same party and he indulged her by taking a photo,” one user remarked.

Orlando Bloom reportedly laughed off the costume, showing no sign of discomfort over the tribute. Meanwhile, Katy Perry continues to enjoy her high-profile romance with Trudeau..
