Katy Perry is totally in her Anglophile era. Perhaps inspired by longtime partner Orlando Bloom, the all-American singer has been leaning into Britannia lately, first performing at King Charles’s coronation and now attending Wimbledon looking less like her California Gurl self and more like another Catherine: Princess Kate Middleton.

The singer and American Idol judge attended the tournament on Wednesday, July 5, in a navy blue outfit and pearl earrings, her long dark hair styled straight. For a bit of flair, she added a summery scarf tied on the side: blue with white polka dots, a longtime Middleton fave pattern.

As Perry’s lookalike Zooey Deschanel once said, “I rock a lot of polka dots.”

So should we all…

Perhaps the most likely evidence that Katy Perry is about to trade in her American citizenship for a British passport: She was there for the Fourth of July! What happened to “Firework” Katy? Is this country just a plastic bag to you? Where is your campaign-for-Hillary, salute-the-troops side? Why have you forsaken the US? It’s American Idol, Katy!!!!!!!!

Perry attended the tennis match with Bloom, who also opted for simple blue patterns, mixing a gridded suit jacket with a striped shirt and a textured tie, plus coloured sunglasses. Perry’s shades are cat-eye.

The next step here is clear: closet-swap. I wanna see Kate Middleton in classic Katy looks, like blue wigs and sparkly dresses and whipped cream gun bras. I want the future queen in a feud with Taylor Swift. You think she can’t have a pop star era? She plays the piano.

The Princess of Wales, actually, also attended this year’s Wimbledon, though she did so in an ’80s-ish power suit and skirt. The earrings, however, are actually pretty similar to Perry’s! I’m telling you, these two are in contact.
