Winter Glam Showdown: Katy Perry and Ellie Goulding Turn Heads at Star-Studded Party!

Katy Perry and Ellie Goulding turned heads with their chic winter style as they led a star-studded gathering at the exclusive Chiltern Firehouse party on Friday evening.

Katy, 40, showcased her cozy yet stylish look in a cropped light brown argyle sweater layered over a brown turtleneck. She paired the ensemble with relaxed blue boyfriend jeans and classic Adidas trainers. The “Firework” singer added a touch of flair with a fluffy brown beret and a sleek black crossbody mini-tote, while a cherry-hued lipstick completed her polished appearance.

Ellie, meanwhile, flaunted her toned figure in form-fitting black leather trousers, perfectly complemented by a light brown cardigan. The 38-year-old singer, who announced her split from husband Caspar Jopling last year, wore her blonde hair in soft, tousled waves with a laid-back middle part.

The high-profile event attracted a slew of other celebrities, including supermodel Karlie Kloss and her billionaire husband Joshua Kushner, as well as Princess Eugenie, Sacha Baron Cohen, and “Top Gun: Maverick” star Glen Powell. Lottie Moss and Rocco Ritchie also made late arrivals, keeping the party buzzing until 4 a.m.

Lottie brought vintage glamour to the night with a sleek black dress paired with an opulent fur coat and sparkling diamond drop earrings. Meanwhile, Madonna’s son, Rocco, rocked a retro-inspired look in a leather coat, gloves, and tailored grey trousers.

Ellie Goulding’s night out comes on the heels of a candid New Year’s post where she opened up about facing some of the “hardest times” in 2024. Taking to Instagram, she reflected: “Strange that the hardest times can exist at the same time as feeling the most alive. God, you’re welcome, 2025. Love to my amazing son, the glorious women in my life, and my fans. Thank you for this and thank you all for your support, without which I wouldn’t be here.”

The emotional post was accompanied by a video montage featuring moments from Ellie’s life, including red carpet appearances, intense workout sessions, glamorous photoshoots, and cherished moments with family and friends.

Ellie and Caspar, who share a four-year-old son named Arthur, decided to part ways in February. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, the former couple continues to co-parent amicably.

Ellie’s personal life made headlines again when she was briefly linked to surf instructor Armando Perez. The pair reportedly met when Armando gave Ellie private surfing lessons during her New Year’s getaway in Costa Rica. While their romance sparked curiosity, insiders revealed that their relationship had quietly ended.

A source shared: “Armando and Ellie had an undeniable attraction. Despite their age gap, they connected instantly during her surf lessons. They enjoyed spending time together, and Ellie found solace in the serene beach life amidst the turbulence of her marriage ending.”

However, the relationship ultimately proved to be short-lived. “They shared special moments, and Ellie made frequent trips to Costa Rica, but their worlds were very different,” the insider added.

Following paparazzi photos of Ellie and Armando sharing a kiss in the ocean, Ellie addressed the situation publicly. She announced on Instagram that her marriage to Caspar had ended prior to her romance with Armando.

Her statement read: “In light of recent stories, I feel I have been left with no choice but to let you all know that Caspar and I privately separated some time ago. We remain the closest of friends and have been successfully co-parenting with our son’s best interests at heart.”

With a fresh start in 2025 and a supportive network of friends and family, Ellie Goulding seems ready to embrace new beginnings—both personally and professionally.
