Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are familiar with grabbing attention on red carpets, but their recent appearance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards seemed different. Although they shared a kiss, it didn’t quite have the usual energy expected from the couple. A body language expert suggests that the lack of chemistry was due to Perry’s impractical dress, which wasn’t suited for passionate displays of affection.

The 2024 VMAs were significant for Perry, marking her return to the stage after nearly ten years, during which she focused on motherhood and took a break from her music career. In an interview with People, she expressed her excitement about returning. “Having my daughter has transformed my life,” she shared. “I feel more whole and grounded. I’m creating music from a place of empowerment and connection to my feminine essence.”
Perry also received the prestigious VMA Vanguard Award, reaffirming her strong presence in the music industry. While their red carpet appearance raised some eyebrows, it’s clear that there is no trouble in their relationship, which remains solid.
The dress caused the awkwardness
Fans need not worry about potential breakup rumors for Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. Their seemingly awkward moments on the red carpet are not indicative of any problems; rather, body language expert Traci Brown offered insights suggesting their behavior was a result of Perry’s extravagant dress. In an interview, she mentioned that while great couples connect closely on the red carpet, Perry’s outfit was a factor keeping Bloom at a distance.
“Strong couples are usually very connected, but her outfit seems to have created distance. They were likely rehearsing their poses,” explained Brown, emphasizing that their body language still revealed their affection. “Although they weren’t physically close, the way they looked into each other’s eyes indicated their love.”

Bloom later presented Perry with her Vanguard award, giving a heartfelt speech that showcased their bond. He expressed how he fell in love with her as a person beyond her celebrity persona, emphasizing her true nature as a nurturing partner and mother. This public display of admiration shows that their relationship remains robust and filled with affection.
