On March 15, 2026, the Oscars took place in Los Angeles, California, where Gracie Abrams and Paul Mescal captured attention on the red carpet. This event marked a significant moment for the couple, who had been romantically linked since June 2024 and had made their red carpet debut together at the BAFTAs.
Abrams, 26, wore a striking two-piece Chanel outfit complemented by high jewelry from the same brand, showcasing her fashion sense. Mescal, 30, was nominated for his role in the film ‘Hamnet’, which was also nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. He donned a bespoke suit adorned with Cartier jewelry, further enhancing the couple’s glamorous appearance.
As the evening progressed, Abrams changed into a beaded black gown for the Vanity Fair Oscar party, demonstrating her versatility and style. The couple’s presence at the Oscars was not just about fashion; it also highlighted their support for Mescal’s work in ‘Hamnet’.
Abrams expressed her admiration for the film and its impact on her in an Instagram tribute, stating, “I’ve found it nearly impossible to find the words to describe the weight of this film and the way it has remained in my bones since I saw it for the first time.” She also encouraged her followers to watch the film, saying, “Thank god for what they made. Go see it and you will be better off.”
The couple has largely kept their relationship private, but their appearance at the Oscars and the subsequent tribute on social media signify a new chapter in their public life together. Abrams had previously ‘hard-launched’ her relationship with Mescal in July 2024, and their bond appears to be growing stronger.
As the night concluded, the couple’s presence at the Oscars not only celebrated their individual achievements but also their partnership in the spotlight. This sequence of events matters as it showcases the blending of their personal and professional lives, reflecting the evolving dynamics of celebrity relationships in Hollywood.
With ‘Hamnet’ receiving critical acclaim and both Abrams and Mescal gaining recognition, their future endeavors are highly anticipated by fans and industry insiders alike.
