Photos of Canada's former prime minister Justin Trudeau and his pop star girlfriend Katy Perry at Coachella -- the music and arts festival in the California desert -- are making the rounds online, thanks to the once-politician ditching his usual statesmanlike attire for jeans and a backwards hat.
The internet was quick to react to a series of images and videos shared by the California Gurls singer, which included a clip of the pair enjoying Justin Bieber's headlining performance, alongside the caption "heat checkin' these chickens," a reference to a lyric from the Stratford, Ont.-born artist's song Speed Demon, among other pictures of the two soaking in the festival.
But it seemed to be the former prime minister's frat boyish appearance that caught people's attention. Some X users highlighted the contrast between Trudeau's clothing choices and his former role as prime minister. In one side-by-side, a person compared the couple's formal appearance in Davos, Switzerland in January with their casual curbside manner in the California desert."Get a man who can take you to the world's economic forum and Coachella," the post said.
