Katy Perry’s Twin Found Online As Camilla Araujo’s Look Goes Viral

She wanted a Halloween costume that turned heads, and she got exactly that.

When influencer Camilla Araujo revealed her jaw-dropping Katy Perry transformation on Instagram, the internet lost its mind.

The uncanny resemblance, the candy-colored details, and her bold personality collided in a viral moment that blurred the line between cosplay and celebrity doppelganger magic.

Araujo's Halloween video, which quickly racked up more than 45,000 likes, showcased her full metamorphosis into the pop superstar, Perry.

The pastel hair, candy-themed dress, and whimsical accessories looked straight out of Perry's California Gurls era, down to the smallest sprinkle.

However, this wasn't a cheap costume find. "I spent $4000 on this custom piece," Araujo revealed in the clip. "The ones in stores were not giving what they needed to give."

She explained that while she considered some of Perry's other legendary looks, practicality played a role in her choice.

"Miss Girl walked around in a f-cking chandelier like I was not gonna do that. I would not have been able to get to the f-cking door," she joked, referencing Perry's Met Gala moment.

Araujo, who goes by @realcamillaara on Instagram, told fans the idea came from her followers themselves.

"I get this comment in every single video. So get ready with me to actually transform into her," she said, acknowledging the constant comparisons to the Grammy-nominated star.

The transformation video captured the full process, makeup, hair, and fittings, and culminated in a candy-coated reveal that fans couldn't get enough of.

"Since I've started social media, you guys have told me up the f-cking wazoo, blowing it up my -ss, so I wasn't gonna do it half--ssed. I'm actually doing the most, like this is my Heidi Klum moment," Araujo declared, cementing herself as a Halloween icon.

The comments section exploded with disbelief and adoration.

One user shared a side-by-side comparison that earned over 3,600 likes.

Another fan wrote that Araujo "can build a whole career on just being a @KatyPerry lookalike."

At the end of the video, Araujo delivered a heartfelt shout-out directly to the superstar herself.

She said, "Katy Perry, if you see this, I love you, babe. Congrats on the successful tour."

The post's caption, "Dressed up as my mom," sealed the deal.

Araujo is no stranger to being compared to Katy Perry, but according to the influencer, her resemblance to the pop superstar once led to an unforgettable and nearly romantic encounter.

Speaking on Logan Paul's "Impaulsive" podcast, Araujo shared how being mistaken for the "Roar" singer has become a constant part of her life, from public appearances to high-profile events.

"I literally thought, 'Katy Perry, nice to meet you,'" she laughed while recounting an incident where a fan confused her for the pop star after she stepped out of a car. The fan reportedly shouted "Katy Perry?" and refused to believe Araujo wasn't the real deal.

Things became even more surreal when Araujo found herself face-to-face with Perry during one of the singer's concerts.

"We made eye contact at her concert. She was singing 'I Kissed a Girl' to me. I was ready to kiss my doppelganger. She walked away. We almost kissed!" Araujo recalled.

The uncanny resemblance has only intensified as fans continue to point out how strikingly similar the two look. Araujo's Instagram feed is filled with playful nods to her pop-star twin, each post drawing in thousands of comments from followers convinced they're seeing double.

In one viral 2023 clip, she wrote, "People say I look like Katy Perry, so I did this." The post instantly went viral, with fans flooding the comments section in disbelief.

Araujo admitted on the podcast that she's used to the confusion, recalling another time it happened during a Formula 1 weekend in Miami.

"Someone walked up, called me Katy," she said with a laugh. She joked that she missed her chance to come up with a witty response at the moment.

While the lookalike buzz has skyrocketed her fame, Camilla Araujo's success didn't start with her resemblance to the global superstar.

She first gained major attention after appearing in MrBeast's massive "Squid Game" recreation video, a viral hit that helped launch her online career.

Since then, she has become one of the internet's most recognizable influencers, reportedly earning over $2 million a month at her peak.

Now, she's diversifying her empire with ventures in fashion, real estate, and content production.

Still, Araujo embraces her resemblance to Perry with humor and grace.

"If someone wants to believe I'm Katy for a moment, fine by me," she said. "I don't correct it immediately. It's part of my brand now."

And though she appreciates the comparisons, she's clear about who she really is.

"I'm Camila," Araujo said. "But I'll take the compliment and run with it."
