Celebrity Couples Who Debuted Their Relationships at the Oscars

While the Oscars are about honoring the best of the best in film that year, people are also obsessed with two other aspects: the red carpet fashion and the celebrity couples. We always love seeing celebrity couples finally debut on the red carpet, but there’s something so Hollywood about debuting at the Oscars.

Whether it’s at the Oscars itself or at one of the most “it” afterparties of the year, like the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, we always love to see it. Ahead of the 2026 Oscars, we can’t wait to see if any of our favorite couples make their debut!

Below, see all the celebrity couple debuts at the Oscars and Oscars afterparties over the years!
