Katy Perry made a stunning appearance at the iHeartRadio z100’s Jingle Ball in New York City last week, wearing a form-fitting, long-sleeved silver metallic gown. The dress, with its ruched design, accentuated the “Roar” hitmaker’s slim waist and highlighted her curves, showcasing her recent 20-pound weight loss.

This coincides with the 40-year-old “Woman’s World” singer’s recent confession of her dislike of “working out.” Amidst rumors of using Ozempic, it was reported that Perry’s partner Orlando Bloom influenced her to make dietary adjustments, resulting in her weight loss. Perry apparently eliminated sugar and processed foods from her diet and began exercising with her fiancé, 47, last year.

Katy Perry Highlights Her 20-Lb Weight Loss In A Tight Metallic Dress After Admitting She Dislikes Exercise

To complete her look for the Jingle Ball, the mom of one (who shares daughter Daisy, 4, with the Lord of the Rings actor) added matching silver hoop earrings and chunky rings. For her glam, Perry wore her signature raven tresses down, parted in the center and styled sleek-straight. The former American Idol judge topped it all off with smokey eyeshadow, voluminous lashes, black winged liner, ample rosy blush and a glossy pink pout.

While recording her new ITV concert special, Night of a Lifetime, at Central Hall Westminster in December 2024, Perry explained: "well, I hate working out. I actually do." The "Teenage Dream" artist credited her recent physical changes to her passion for and regular engagement in swimming and dancing.

Inside Katy Perry's 2024 Health Transformation And Love Of Dancing And Swimming

Talking about her well-defined arms, which recently became a sensation, she clarified: "I hear that my biceps were going around the internet. So that's a little bit from my swimming I will say I am quite a good swimmer." Perry went on: "But seriously it's been a while since I have been on tour and by the time I go on tour it will be eight years." The pop star added: "So, I actually probably should go to the gym. The tour is going to be a dance party, and everyone is invited."

In October, Perry took to Instagram to share a glimpse into her diet before her AFL Grand Final performance in Australia. She mentioned she eats several eggs daily, choosing this protein-packed snack over less healthy alternatives. "I eat a lot of hard-boiled eggs because they are a great source of protein," she shared at the time.

How Fiancé Orlando Bloom Inspired Katy Perry's Health And Weight Loss Journey

Perry also jokingly noted: "I don't crack them on [the plate], I go like this [cracks on forehead]." In the video, the "California Gurls" crooner humorously smashed a hard-boiled egg on her forehead while having her hair and makeup done.

In January 2024, Perry gushed about Bloom, and how his "clean" diet and health regimen inspires her. "[Orlando] definitely is very goal-minded about everything with the way he eats and works out," she told Women's Health.

Perry continued: "I'm probably one-fourth or one-fifth of what he is, so he is super dedicated and I'm more of a maintaining mother." The Grammy nominee detailed her diet, starting each day with water and apple cider vinegar, then celery juice.

Breakfast includes a banana or hard-boiled eggs. For lunch, she opts for protein with salad or soup. Dinner is usually grilled chicken with quinoa and asparagus, though she indulges in pasta once or twice weekly.
