Justin Trudeau’s ‘Left Shark’ Halloween look sparks Katy Perry romance buzz as Internet weighs in

MONTREAL, CANADA: Justin Trudeau may have slyly hinted at his rumored romance with pop star Katy Perry by dressing up as a bright blue shark for Halloween — a playful nod to Perry’s iconic 2015 Super Bowl halftime show featuring the viral “Left Shark.”

Trudeau, 53, shared a series of photos on Instagram showing off his costume alongside his 11-year-old son, Hadrien. “Ready for Halloween with Hadrien: he’s the surfer, I’m the shark (to his left). We built the costume together - a little father-son Halloween teamwork. 🎃🦈🏄‍♂️,” he captioned the post.

The duo’s matching costumes — Trudeau as a shark and Hadrien as a surfer with fake blood across his face — quickly fueled online speculation that the look was more than just a sweet father-son moment.

Fans link Justin Trudeau’s shark costume to Katy Perry’s Super Bowl moment

Within minutes of Trudeau’s post, fans flooded his comment section, drawing connections between the politician’s outfit and Perry’s 2015 halftime show.

One user said, "Babe we all recognize that shark costume."

Another commented, "Did you borrow the Left Shark costume?"

A person said, "Justin as Left shark 🦈That reminds me of something really funny😂 @katyperry 👀🫣"

Even the costume’s bright neon blue hue closely resembled the shark costumes worn by Perry’s dancers during her “Teenage Dream” and “California Gurls” performance at Super Bowl XLIX. The uncanny similarity only fueled speculation that Trudeau’s costume choice was a subtle tribute to his rumored girlfriend.

Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry’s relationship continues to make headlines

Trudeau and Perry, 41, were first linked in July 2025 when they were spotted having dinner at Le Violon in Montreal. Eyewitnesses described the pair as “flirty but composed,” noting that Trudeau was “completely smitten” by Perry’s charm.

The couple was also spotted enjoying a romantic yacht getaway off the coast of Sardinia in August, where they were photographed laughing and sunbathing together.

Since then, the pair have been seen together multiple times, including a cozy appearance at the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris to celebrate the pop star’s birthday earlier this month.

“They both have busy schedules but make time for each other and have a really strong connection,” a source told Peoplein October. “Katy didn’t expect to fall for somebody so soon, but Justin checks all the boxes. He has a great sense of humor, he’s charming and treats her with respect.”

A Halloween hint or harmless fun?

While Trudeau hasn’t publicly commented on the relationship, fans think his “Left Shark” costume speaks volumes.

The father of three, he shares Hadrien, Ella-Grace, 16, and Xavier, 18, with estranged wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau seemed to enjoy the attention, smiling and posing with his son in several lighthearted photos.

Perry, who shares her three-year-old daughter Daisy Dove with actor Orlando Bloom, was previously married to comedian Russell Brand before their split in 2012.
