For nearly a century, the Oscars, also known as the Academy Awards, have recognized and celebrated outstanding achievements in cinema. But before the awards are doled out, celebrities first strut down the red carpet—often with their significant other in tow. At the 2024 Oscars, which took place on March 10, 2024, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, many famous pairs arrived at the prestigious event together, which led to some adorable moments.

On the 96th Academy Awards red carpet, many Hollywood duos were photographed showing off their best attire and exchanging romantic gestures. For instance, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski coordinated in all-white looks, serving as wedding attire inspiration for every engaged couple. At another point, John Mulaney helped Olivia Munn lay out the cape of her evening gown before the two of them posed for photos.
