Katy Perry had boyfriend Justin Trudeau by her side on Saturday night as the pair attended the star-studded Baby2Baby Gala in Los Angeles.
The 42-year-old pop star appeared affectionate with the 54-year-old former Canadian prime minister as they posed together on the red carpet.
During the photo session, Perry was seen helping Trudeau straighten the bowtie at his neck before they turned their attention back to the cameras.
Perry made a dramatic entrance in a strapless sequin gown featuring a flowing peach-colored skirt and a matching cape that swept along the floor.
Trudeau opted for a cream tuxedo jacket, black bowtie, coordinating trousers and polished Oxford shoes.
The couple’s appearance came only days after Perry’s former husband, Russell Brand, was sentenced in the United Kingdom to 10 years and six months after being found guilty of rape and sexual assault.

Perry and Trudeau first fueled romance speculation in July 2025, though they did not publicly confirm their relationship until October that year.
Last month, they marked their first anniversary while also celebrating Perry’s 42nd birthday on October 25.
Before beginning her relationship with Trudeau, Perry spent almost a decade with actor Orlando Bloom.
Perry and the 49-year-old actor share a six-year-old daughter, Daisy, who was born in August 2020.
Trudeau, meanwhile, had been separated from his former wife, Sophie Grégoire, for three years.
He and Grégoire were married for 18 years and have three children: daughter Ella-Grace, 17, and sons Xavier, 19, and Hadrien, 12.
Before her nine-year relationship with Bloom, Perry was married to Brand for 14 months. They split in late 2011 and finalized their divorce in July 2012.
After Brand’s rape trial concluded, his former girlfriend Jordan Martin made startling claims about his previous marriage to Perry.
Martin, who dated the comedian before his relationship with Perry, recently alleged that Brand once told her he had ‘always wanted’ to marry a famous woman.

‘[Russell was] doing exactly what he always wanted to do [with Perry] and be married to someone famous, which he always said he would be,’ Martin claimed in the Netflix documentary Russell Brand: Open Secret.
‘He said to me, “I should be dating somebody more famous than you,”‘ she recalled.
Martin also alleged that Brand criticized her for ‘dressing like an attention-seeking tart’ and said he was uncomfortable with her wearing a swimsuit and sunbathing.
Just hours before Brand received his 10-year-and-six-month sentence for rape and sexual assault, Perry was seen smiling and attending a celebration.
She had joined her friend and fellow astronaut Lauren Sanchez, who was launching a new book in Los Angeles.
Sydney Sweeney, Kris Jenner and Elsa Hosk were also among the high-profile guests.
‘Yesterday we brought winter to LA, and friends, their kids, and Santa all showed up for a reindeer who can’t read a compass,’ Sanchez wrote in an Instagram caption shared Monday, alongside a smiling photograph of Perry. The post promoted her book The Fly Who Flew to the North Pole.
On that same day in London, Brand, 51, faced a sharply different scene as he was sentenced to 10 and a half years for one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

A leading British lawyer told Our News Outlet last week that the disgraced comedian could also face claims against his estimated $20 million fortune through compensation orders and civil lawsuits.
Brand and Perry began dating in 2009 before marrying the following year. They separated in 2011, when Brand ended the marriage by sending his pop star wife a text message.
The painful moment appeared in her documentary Katy Perry: Part Of Me, which showed the message arriving just minutes before she was due to perform for thousands of fans in Brazil.
In the film, Perry’s backstage team comforted her as she broke down in tears.
Discussing their 14-month marriage in a 2013 interview with Vogue, Perry said: ‘He’s a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him.
‘Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011. I felt a lot of responsibility for it ending, but then I found out the real truth, which I can’t necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day,’ she said cryptically.
Since then, Perry has largely maintained what fans have called a ‘dignified silence’ about the split, although that may soon change.

The Mail on Sunday reported last weekend that people close to Perry believe she had been waiting for the result of Brand’s trial before agreeing to a project about their ‘dark marriage.’
A well-placed Hollywood source said: ‘Katy has received multiple offers over the years to tell her story but would not consider anything until after the trial. She has a lot to say.
‘At the moment she’s considering a Netflix-type series and an autobiography. She and her team have been in active discussions.
‘There is a lot about that marriage which people don’t know. It was a very dark period in her life.’
The source added that Perry’s representatives have held discussions with streaming platforms including Netflix and Hulu.
