Katy Perry's reportedly official partner Justin Trudeau's 2025 Halloween costume has sent the internet into a frenzy. Enthusiasts are speculating that his look may have been a subtle nod to his relationship with pop star Katy Perry.

On October 31, 2025, Trudeau shared a series of Instagram photos, where he was dressed as a blue shark, alongside his 11-year-old son Hadrien, who was dressed as a bloodied surfer. In his caption, Trudeau wrote:

"Ready for Halloween with Hadrien: he is the surfer, I am the shark (to his left). We built the costume together, a little father-son Halloween teamwork. 🎃🦈🏄‍♂️"

Netizens reacted, saying:

"They are cooking something"

Internet reactions to Justin Trudeau seemingly channeling Katy Perry's left shark for Halloween

Pop Base took to its official X (formerly Twitter) page to post that,

"Justin Trudeau dresses up as Katy Perry’s left shark for Halloween."

Netizens soon jumped into the comment section of the X post as they penned their thoughts on Justin Trudeau's Halloween 2025 look. Below are some of their reactions:

"This couple pairing is so "5th season of a tv show and the writers ran out of ideas" coded", declared an X user.
"What do they ultimately want to prove to us by showing all this?", questioned another.
"A dope acting like a dope. That man is so uncool it's not even funny. Canada's most despised man, next to Mark Carney.", commented a third.

Others also chimed in:

"Trudeau channeling left shark vibes for Halloween? That dance is smoother than our morning routine. Who else is flopping into the weekend? 💩", penned a netizen.

"He is not dressed as left shark, it’s just the same shark costume. He’s very clearly dressed as a shark attack with his kid.", noted another.
"I'm not going to lie, this is kind of cute. As much as I hate this man for destroying my country, he is obsessed with Katy Perry, and I love that for them.", lauded a third.

Katy Perry's Left Shark became a viral sensation in February 2015 during her Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show. As Perry performed her "Teenage Dream," one of her backup dancers, the shark on her left side, appeared to miss multiple choreography cues.

The dancer was later identified as Bryan Gaw. He unintentionally became a pop culture phenomenon among fans. Left Shark was celebrated for its hilarious moves.
