Fans are surely well aware of the fact that Orlando Bloom‘s relationship history involves his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr, and ex-fiancée, Katy Perry. Nowadays, the actor seems to be dating and, in turn, has been sparking romance-based buzz. That includes the fact that he may have just debuted a new noteworthy liaison.
Orlando Attended a Met Gala Party with Meredith Duxbury
Bloom may not have walked the steps at the 2026 Met Gala; however, he did attend at least one of the night’s events.
“Peep the pics — the 49-year-old rolled out of a car with the 27-year-old makeup star … and yeah, they’re looking very good together heading into Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna’s Met Gala after-party Monday,” according to TMZ.
At the same time, TMZ noted that there was “no hand-holding, no PDA — nothing screaming ‘official’ just yet — but LBR, people were def talking.”
Who Is Meredith Duxbury?
GettyIf you’re not aware, Duxbury is a 27-year-old makeup artist and influencer.
“Chances are, the first time beauty influencer Meredith Duxbury came across your feed, she took you by surprise,” according to Glamour. “When Duxbury started making TikToks in 2020—entering an overcrowded space where creators used the same viral products in their clean-girl routines—Duxbury made a mess. And it paid off.”
“The ‘mess’ in question? Slathering a cartoonish amount of foundation onto her face with her bare hands, usually with a deadpan expression and often while lip-synching to Nicki Minaj’s ‘I’m Legit,'” Glamour explains. “This unconventional yet authentic first step of Duxbury’s makeup routine was her hook, and her finished looks were flawless. She accumulated more than 7 million followers during her first year, and today she has 20 million across TikTok and Instagram.”
More recently, “[s]he has established herself as one of the most influential voices in beauty, worked with brands like Charlotte Tilbury, e.l.f. Cosmetics, Prada Beauty, and Morphe Cosmetics (in which she launched a global makeup line), and has been named to Forbes’s 30 Under 30 list in the social media category,” per Glamour.
As if that wasn’t enough, Glamour notes that “Duxbury has also broken onto the global fashion scene as a model and brand ambassador. She’s walked runways in New York, Paris, and Milan for Diesel, Armani Privé, Stella McCartney, and more, and recently landed coveted spots at Tory Burch and Jil Sander presentations.”
Duxbury’s followers may have also noticed that she hopped onto TikTok yesterday to share a peek at her sheer look for the Met Gala after-party. In the video, she used Gwen Stefani’s “Rich Girl” for the accompanying audio and appeared with two pups — unfortunately, she didn’t take the opportunity to share a glimpse of Bloom as well.
Orlando Was Recently Linked to Model Luisa Laemmel
Although Bloom has now popped up at an industry event with Duxbury, he was recently connected to 28-year-old Swiss model Luisa Laemmel.
Seen at the Super Bowl together in February, the two were “secretly dating,” The Sun reported in March. Seeming like more than just a brief romance, the couple had “enjoyed a mini-break in Switzerland, along with Orlando’s pet dog, and the Brit is believed to have met some of Luisa’s friends and family.”
While Bloom kept that relationship mostly under wraps, we can perhaps expect the same during his current situation.
