Famous pairs caused a stir at the 2024 Academy Awards, with many making their debut appearance together. While a few well-known lovebirds had previously graced the red carpet as a couple before the main event at the Dolby Theatre, several others seized the opportunity to unveil their newfound romance at Vanity Fair’s esteemed afterparty, hosted at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills later that same evening.
Look at four couples who transformed Oscars night into a public rendezvous.
Chris Evans and Alba Baptista
Following their wedding in September 2023, Chris Evans, known for his role as Captain America, and his recently married spouse, Alba Baptista, made a joint entrance at the Vanity Fair Oscars celebration. This marked the couple’s inaugural appearance on the red carpet together after initially igniting speculation about their romance in 202X.
Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom
After initially sparking dating rumors in February 2023, actor Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom have maintained a low-key relationship. However, they made their first public appearance as a couple at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, where they walked the red carpet together. This marked a significant step in their relationship as they chose to share their partnership with the public for the first time.
Reneé Rapp and Towa Bird
On the red carpet outside the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, Reneé Rapp officially confirmed the speculation surrounding her relationship with Towa Bird. Initially, they posed separately, but eventually, they stood together, solidifying their romantic connection. The rumors about their relationship began swirling when they performed together during Rapp’s shows. Bird, who is also a singer-songwriter, served as the opening act for Rapp’s Snow Hard Feelings Tour across North America and Europe. During the tour, Bird frequently joined Rapp on stage for their collaborative performance of Rapp’s song “Tummy Hurts.”
Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan
During the red carpet event at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, singer Sabrina Carpenter and actor Barry Keoghan made their first public appearance as a couple. While posing for photographs, they stood next to each other but individually. Notably, Keoghan accessorized his outfit with a friendship bracelet bearing Carpenter’s nаme. This wasn’t the first time Keoghan wore such a bracelet, as he was spotted wearing a similar one earlier in Singapore.
His visit to Singapore coincided with Carpenter’s performance as the opening act for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, where Keoghan showed his support for Carpenter.
Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr?
While they were not photographed together on the red carpet, reality star Kim Kardashian and Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. were seen leaving the Vanity Fair Oscars party as a pair. This sighting has fueled ongoing rumors about the two of them dating. According to Page Six, they were also spotted leaving Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s afterparty together later that same night.
