Celebrity Couples at the 2026 Oscars: See All the Romance on the Red Carpet (PHOTOS)
This year, the 98th Academy Awards rolled out the red carpet for all your favorite couples and industry favorites, from Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons to Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, who showed off their best looks — and chemistry — for everyone to see.
This year, the race for Best Picture is between films like One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, Sinners, and more. Heavy hitters in other categories include Kpop Demon Hunters, Avatar: Fire and Ash, Zootopia 2, and others. But for those of us here at Swooon, we were all about the romance.
While they didn’t walk the red carpet, Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner were spotted sitting side-by-side in the Dolby Theater. Fellow Best Actor nominee Leonardo DiCaprio surprised many when he brought his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, as his date to Hollywood’s biggest night.
The Academy Awards was the perfect date night for these famous pairs. Scroll to see all the couples on the Oscars red carpet.
