Orlando Bloom was spotted slinking into an ultra-exclusive Met Gala afterparty in New York City in the early hours of Tuesday morning with a Katy Perry lookalike by his side.
The 49-year-old, who confirmed his split from Perry last year, attempted to go incognito in a black baseball cap as he entered hotspot Zero Bond around 1 am.
Bloom was photographed arriving with Meredith Duxbury, 27, a model and influencer who boasts more than 1.7 million Instagram followers.
Duxbury, who bears a striking resemblance to Bloom’s ex, showed off her slender frame in a sheer black lace dress which revealed her underwear.
Snaps show the twosome in close proximity to one another, sparking rumors they are an item.
At 49, the Lord of the Rings alum is 22 years older than Duxbury, who recently split from Australian male model Douglas Joseph.
However, a source told TMZ that Bloom didn’t know Duxbury and actually attended the fash-bash with Swiss model Luisa Laemmel, 28, with whom he was spotted at Super Bowl LX on February 8.
