Orlando Bloom just can’t seem to stay out of the headlines, and this time, it’s because of Rachel Matthews. The actress went viral after posting a series of party pics that had everyone talking.

In the snaps, Rachel is dressed exactly like Katy Perry during her iconic “space mission” era, complete with the blue suit and black wig. One shot even shows Orlando by her side, laughing along, and another shows Rachel dramatically kissing the ground, just like Katy did when she “landed” back on Earth after her adventure.

Fans immediately lost it. Many think Rachel is Orlando’s new girlfriend—and they’re calling the whole thing disrespectful and shady AF.

Katy Perry’s Fans Are Not Having It

Social media exploded with reactions. “Shame on her and Orlando. This is so weird,” one fan wrote. Others called out Orlando for even participating in the costume moment, saying, “Doesn’t he have a kid with her? Trashy.”

To make things even messier, this all comes right after Katy Perry dropped her new single Bandaids, which many fans think takes aim at Orlando and hints at why their relationship ended. The timing? Kinda suspicious.

Rachel’s comment section has since turned into chaos with fans flooding her posts with accusations and angry messages.

Wait… Are They Even Dating?

But here’s where it gets interesting, Pop Tellers: there’s zero proof that Orlando and Rachel are actually dating. Sources (and photos) show Orlando has been seen with other women recently, not Rachel.

Some fans think the two just happened to bump into each other at the same party and snapped the pic as a “funny” moment. One fan on X even posted, “While she did dress up as Katy Perry for Halloween she coincidentally met Orlando Bloom the same night…” attaching a screenshot that supposedly shows Rachel with her actual man (a so-called Will Erwin).

So yeah… it’s looking more like a viral misunderstanding than a full-blown romance.

Who Is Rachel Matthews, Anyway?

If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Rachel Matthews is no random party guest. She’s an actress best known for voicing Honeymaren in Disney’s Frozen 2 and for starring in Happy Death Day and Batwoman.

She’s also been part of Hollywood’s young crowd for years, friends with a few A-listers and known for her witty, slightly chaotic social media presence. So, the costume might have just been her signature humor shining through (Orlando rumors aside, this was an iconic pop culture costume!)… though fans clearly didn’t find it all that funny this time.

A Quick Recap: Orlando and Katy’s Split

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom called it quits earlier this year after several years together (and one daughter). Sources said the breakup was “amicable,” but Katy’s new song paints a different picture, hinting that she felt underappreciated and emotionally bruised.

Now, with Orlando possibly cozying up to someone dressed as her, fans think the shade just hit a whole new level. Good job Katy’s dating someone new and totally respectful!
