While the Katy Perry comparisons have boosted her profile, Camilla Araujo's rise to fame began elsewhere.

She first made headlines in MrBeast's massive Squid Game recreation video.

Since then, she has built a lucrative career, reportedly earning over $2 million monthly at her peak.

Now, she's expanding into fashion, real estate, and high-end content production. But even as she grows her empire, Araujo keeps the Perry resemblance in perspective.

"If someone wants to believe I'm Katy for a moment, fine by me," she said.

She added, "I don't correct it immediately. It's part of my brand now."

Still, she makes one thing clear, "I'm Camila," Araujo said. "But I'll take the compliment and run with it."

Camilla Araujo's podcast appearance is coming following her stunning appearance at the Paris Fashion Week.

Dressed in a slate-toned gown with sharp shoulders and a sweeping floor-length cut, she looked every bit the modern fashion star.

Oversized black sunglasses and silver statement earrings finished the look, adding to the aura of glamour.

Despite the drizzle over Paris, the energy outside the venue was electric as photographers scrambled to capture her arrival.

"This is one of those shows you don't miss," Araujo told The Blast. "Vetements always pushes the limits of fashion, and Paris brings an energy that you feel the moment you step out of the car. Everyone shows up ready to make a statement."

The guest list reflected that exact energy, with names like Ice Spice, Cara Delevingne, Winnie Harlow, Kelly Rutherford, Rich the Kid, Ty Dolla Sign, and Yeat filling one of the week's most eclectic front rows.

Yet even with Araujo's sophisticated look drawing attention, it was Heidi Klum who delivered the night's most talked-about moment.

The 52-year-old model first appeared in an oversized coat and dark glasses before suddenly revealing a sheer gray lace gown with built-in gloves. With only a nude-toned thong underneath and metallic grills flashing from her smile, Klum set social media ablaze.

"She looked fearless," Araujo said. "Heidi's been in this business for decades and still knows how to create a viral moment. I think that's inspiring. Fashion should make people talk."

While the spectacle kept headlines buzzing, Araujo emphasized that her passion lies deeper than viral moments.

Watching Vetements unveil its Spring/Summer 2025 collection reminded her of why she loves the industry in the first place.

"I come here for the art," she explained. "What Vetements does is unexpected. It's not safe, and that's the point. You see the clothes, but you also feel the culture shift happening in front of you."

Between her style statement and her thoughtful words, Araujo showed she's more than just a front-row guest; she is also helping shape the conversation about fashion's future.
