Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau make red carpet debut at Tribeca Festival 2025
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Singer Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made their first official red carpet appearance as a couple at the Tribeca Festival in New York City on 9 June, marking a notable public milestone for the pair. Trudeau accompanied Perry to the premiere of her concert film Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris, signalling the relationship's move into the public eye.
What They Wore
Perry arrived in a white halter-neck gown featuring rose-like detailing, her hair styled in an elegant updo. Trudeau complemented her in a classic black suit with a crisp white shirt. He was seen beaming as Perry greeted fans and reporters along the red carpet.
What Perry Said About the Film
'This is very different than Part of Me,' Perry told people.com, referencing her 2012 documentary. 'That was more of a documentary about my life, and this is really a concert experience at the highest level for the fans. I mean, I'm doing all of this for my fans because they are the ones that have helped me along for all these years, over 18 years, and it's just such a fun thing to encapsulate,' she added, describing the tour energy as 'incredible.'
Their Public Appearances So Far
The Tribeca premiere was not the couple's first public outing. In April, they attended the Beef Season 2 Montecito Tastemaker event, where they were photographed alongside Netflix chief Ted Sarandos and his wife Nicole Avant. The event also drew Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Charles Melton, and Carey Mulligan.
How the Romance Began
Romance rumours between Perry and Trudeau first surfaced in July 2025, when the two were spotted walking a small dog together in a park in Montreal. They were later seen dining at neighbourhood restaurant Le Violon, where a restaurant representative said they 'seemed to have had a fantastic evening,' adding that the pair visited the kitchen after the meal to personally thank the staff. 'They were super kind and friendly to the staff, and it was an absolute pleasure to have them,' the representative said. Trudeau subsequently attended Perry's concert in Montreal on 30 July 2025. Their relationship emerged roughly one month after Perry and actor Orlando Bloom ended their engagement following nine years together.
What Comes Next
With the Tribeca premiere marking the couple's first formal red carpet moment, attention now turns to how Perry's concert film performs on the festival circuit and whether the pair will continue stepping out together on the awards and promotional trail.
