Halloween in Hollywood always creates a few headline moments, and this year\u2019s came from actress Rachel Lynn Matthews. She showed up in a blue metallic jumpsuit and dark wig that closely resembled Katy Perry\u2019s \u201cspace\u201d look from her viral space mission video. Orlando Bloom, wearing skull face paint, appeared beside her in photos that quickly made their way online.<\/p>\n

The internet immediately reacted to the pairing. Many thought it was strange that Matthews dressed up as Bloom\u2019s ex and the mother of his child. What might have been a lighthearted Halloween moment turned into one of the most talked-about celebrity costume choices of the week.<\/p>\n

Why fans called it \u201cweird behavior\u201d<\/p>\n

Once the photos appeared on Reddit<\/a>, users flooded the comments with mixed reactions. Some called the move \u201cchildish\u201d and \u201cdisrespectful,\u201d saying that if their partner\u2019s new flame dressed as their ex, it would feel unsettling. Others emphasized that Bloom and Perry co-parent a daughter, making the choice seem even more inappropriate.<\/p>\n

Not everyone saw it that way, though. A few people pointed out that context mattered\u2014no one could confirm whether Bloom and Matthews actually attended the party together or if she simply took a picture with him while dressed as Perry. If it was the latter, they said, the whole thing was more awkward than malicious.<\/p>\n

Context and timing matter<\/p>\n

The timing didn\u2019t help either. Perry and Bloom ended their engagement in June 2025<\/a> after nine years together, and Perry has since moved on with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Around the same time, she released a breakup song that fans linked to her relationship with Bloom. Seeing Bloom pose beside someone mocking her space outfit felt like poor timing to many.<\/p>\n

Online users commented that Bloom seemed unbothered and laughed off the moment, which only added to the criticism. Fans said they expected a bit more tact, especially given his ongoing relationship with Perry as co-parents.<\/p>\n

Who is Rachel Lynn Matthews?<\/p>\n

Matthews is best known for her role in “Happy Death Day” <\/a>and has family ties to Hollywood. Some fans speculated that the costume might have been an attempt to generate attention, while others thought it was just an edgy joke that backfired. Either way, her decision sparked more conversation about her than any of her past roles.<\/p>\n

The internet\u2019s verdict <\/p>\n

The viral photo didn\u2019t just spark headlines\u2014it lit up comment sections across Reddit, X, and Instagram. Many users called the costume \u201cchildish,\u201d \u201cdisrespectful,\u201d or \u201cweird,\u201d especially since Bloom and Perry share a daughter. Others admitted the situation was so bizarre that they couldn\u2019t look away, calling it \u201cmessy but entertaining.\u201d<\/p>\n

What most agreed on was that the internet rarely misses a chance to debate celebrity behavior, and this moment gave them plenty to discuss. Whether it was an innocent joke or poor taste, it reminded everyone how fast one photo can turn into a full-blown online spectacle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Halloween in Hollywood always creates a few headline moments, and this year\u2019s came from actress Rachel Lynn Matthews.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39836,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[503,19008,1568,26821,139,1569,141,140],"class_list":{"0":"post-39835","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-orlando","8":"tag-halloween","9":"tag-halloween-costume","10":"tag-katy-perry","11":"tag-lynn-matthews","12":"tag-orlando","13":"tag-orlando-bloom","14":"tag-orlando-headlines","15":"tag-orlando-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39835\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
