Lauren Sánchez and Katy Perry were spotted enjoying a group dinner in New York City, and the outing quickly sparked a wave of online reactions following their high-profile Blue Origin spaceflight mission earlier in 2025.
As they left the establishment, the former journalist was seen in a shimmering pink-and-purple strapless gown featuring a thigh-high slit and a plunging neckline. She paired the look with heels and wore her dark hair down in a side-parted style.
Lauren was accompanied by her husband Jeff Bezos, who opted for a classic dark suit and sunglasses as the pair held hands while exiting the venue. See their outfits here!

Lauren Sánchez And Katy Perry Step Out In NYC
Perry took a more playful approach, wearing a pastel pink mini dress with long sleeves and a fur-trim hem. The singer completed the look with white heels and a coordinating pink handbag, styling her hair in a sleek updo with a sculpted bun. At one point, she was seen waving to fans from their sprinter van as Lauren and Jeff boarded together.
Online reactions to the dinner ranged from fashion commentary to renewed discussion about their spaceflight publicity.
“Lauren Sánchez always looks Temu,” one user wrote. Another commented, “Are they heading back to outer space?” Others added, “Lauren’s dress is awfullllll,” and “Desperate for a crumb of attention.” One user joked, “Astronauts off to the party,” while another wrote, “Is the goal to look like a cartoon character?”
The "Teenage Dream" hitmaker and Sánchez Bezos reportedly became friends in 2023 after meeting and quickly forming a close connection. In April 2025, the pair flew to the edge of space together as part of an all-female crew aboard a Blue Origin rocket, an experience that sparked backlash online, with critics calling the mission “tone-deaf” and questioning their use of the term “astronauts.”
Lauren Sánchez Set Up Katy Perry With Justin Trudeau
Although the mom of one was unable to attend Sánchez Bezos’ wedding in Italy in June 2025, she did join the celebrations at her bachelorette party earlier that May. Reports also suggested that Lauren played matchmaker after Perry’s split from Orlando Bloom, with speculation she helped introduce Perry to former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
A source told the Daily Mail, “Everyone these days goes to Lauren, she is like a matchmaker now because, between her friends and Jeff’s friends, they know a ton of eligible bachelors and they are cool, they will introduce people for sure.”
Insiders also told Rob Shuter for his Substack in October that “Lauren introduced them through her circle — she thought they’d vibe instantly. And wow, did she call it.”
