Katy Perry, Lionel Richie attend King Charles III's coronation

American singers Katy Perry and Lionel Richie, on Saturday, attended the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey in London.

Several pictures of the celebs from the ceremony went viral on social media.


In the pictures, Perry could be seen dressed head-to-toe in a lilac outfit. She wore a skirt and short-sleeved jacket with matching gloves and an elaborate fascinator. She accessorized her look with a pearl necklace and carried a white handbag.

According to People Magazine, Perry is an ambassador for the British Asian Trust, founded in 2007 by King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) in 2007. She was pictured taking her seat amongst the 2,200 guests present at the coronation ceremony.

Meanwhile, Richie, 73, looked handsome in a three-piece suit with a tie as he chatted with fellow guests before the coronation began.

The American Idol judges are set to perform at the star-studded Coronation Concert on May 7, the day after the service crowning Charles and Queen Camilla, reported People Magazine.

Richie, who has known Charles was appointed the First Global Ambassador and First Chairman of the Global Ambassador Group for the King's charity, The Prince's Trust, in 2019.

Other celebrities on the list are Paloma Faith, Tiwa Savage, Steve Winwood, Olly Murs, and club DJ Pete Tong, who will play his Ibiza classics. The concert will also feature world-renowned pianist Lang Lang as well as recent 'The Piano' winner Lucy.

The concert, which is taking place on the grounds of Windsor Castle, will be hosted by Downtown Abbey and Paddington actor Hugh Bonneville, as per People Magazine.

The event will be attended by 20,000 members of the public from across the U.K. -- and, of course, members of the royal family.

Following the conclusion of the coronation weekend, Charles and Camilla, 75, will travel to Sandringham in Norfolk, reported People Magazine.

9 celebs who moved from LA to London and why the list keeps growing

Highlights:

  • Nine more names have quietly joined London's growing celebrity population, some confirmed only in the past few months.
  • Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively reportedly bought a home in Richmond, southwest London, for between £8m and £9m, in early 2026.
  • Hugh Jackman is said to be weighing a permanent UK stay after filming in London, joining a growing list of actors who came for a job and started looking at estate agents' windows instead.
  • Official figures show a genuine 26 per cent rise in Americans applying for UK citizenship in 2024, though some widely repeated statistics about the trend don't hold up under checking.

London's celebrity population keeps growing, and not always for the reasons anyone expects. Last year, we looked at ten stars who'd already made London their full-time home, Ellen DeGeneres, Ryan Gosling, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma among them. Since then, the list hasn't stopped growing. Some of these moves are brand new. Others have been quietly settled for years without much fuss. Here are nine names adding themselves to the city's ever-expanding resident list.

9 celebs who've made the move

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively The most recent addition to this list, and one of the more concrete ones. Early reports in 2026 suggested the couple purchased a home on Richmond Hill for somewhere between £8 million and £9 million. Reynolds and Lively have spent most of their time between New York properties in Bedford and Tribeca, which makes a dedicated London base a genuinely new chapter rather than a rumour repeated for years.
