Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams brought the style — and love — to the 2026 Oscars.
The couple made their Academy Award debut as a couple when they hit the red carpet of the prestigious ceremony honoring the best in film at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 15.
The Hamnet actor, 30, and "Close to You" singer, 26, coordinated in dark-hued ensembles, effortlessly complementing each other when they cozied up for PDA-filled pictures during their date night at the event.

Abrams wore a dazzling navy dress embellished with sequins on the skin-revealing bodice and floor-length skirt. The look featured a sheer, tulle scarf that flowed delicately down her back and trailed along the floor.
Her bixie haircut was styled into a sweet side part, revealing her diamond earrings. She wore soft, glam makeup.
The actor, whose film Hamnet is up for eight nominations at the 2026 Oscars, put a stylish twist on a tuxedo and form-fitting black trousers. He wore a buttoned-up, black jacket with tiny lapels folded back to reveal his white, collared shirt beneath. He accessorized with a floppy, black tie.
He wore one small hoop earring and a watch, both by Cartier.

Mescal, who was nominated for his role as William Shakespeare in Hamnet, wore a black jacket and pants with a white dress shirt underneath that he left unbuttoned at the top.
The couple, who've been romantically linked since they were first spotted out together in June 2024, stepped out at the BAFTAs about one month after their date night once the 2026 Golden Globe Awards wrapped.
The Hamnet actor is generally private when it comes to his personal life. He explained that he did not "know how to answer" a question regarding what made him and Abrams go public with their relationship during a September profile published by Rolling Stone.
"I actually do have an answer, but everything to do with that is deeply precious to me and I don’t want to. ... This isn’t … I don’t really … umm … I want to protect those things fundamentally," he said at the time.
