Katy Perry brought fiance Orlando Bloom as her plus one to Variety’s Power of Women event held at the Wallis Annenberg Center in Beverly Hills on Thursday evening.
The 36-year-old superstar was seen modeling a very billowy lilac gown for the occasion while receiving many adoring gazes from the 44-year-old actor.
Perry snagged herself a recognition at the event for her philanthropic work by way of her Firework Foundation, and the star studded dinner honored a handful of powerful women in attendance.
The American singer joined Amanda Gorman, Lorde, Channing Dungey, and Rita Moreno as they were recognized at the event for their philanthropic work.

The Dark Horse singer stood out from the crowd in a rather large purple dress which featured puffed sleeves that fell off her shoulders.
The hefty gown spanned to the floor and she paired the look with dangling statement earrings that had various stones.
Though she had debuted black hair at the Museum of Motion Pictures gala on September 25, it appeared it may have been a wig as she was back to blonde, sweeping her locks back in an updo.
Bloom opted for a classic navy suit with a white pocket square and a simple white button down, allowing his fiancee to command all the attention with her ensemble.

She continued to say that becoming mom to Daisy has inspired her to give back even more. ‘I thought of [Daisy] and when she’s 36, what’s this world going to look like? And could I have helped in any capacity with the gifts I’ve been given,’ she recalled of her thoughts.
And the Fireworks singer also said that their daughter taught her the true meaning of unconditional love, ‘in the first-person.’
‘I never really truly knew about unconditional love. Obviously my mother has that for me, but I didn’t really experience it in the first-person until I had my child. And that was just a whole ‘nother level.’
