Elizabeth couldn’t contain her smile as Billy Ray planted a kiss on her cheek as they posed on the star-studded red carpet.
She looked sensational as she went braless under a daring red dazzling gown which boasted a plunging neckline and a bold thigh high split.
The ex-girlfriend of Hugh Grant elevated her frame in a pair of towering silver platform heels and accessorised with eye catching drop earrings.
Meanwhile the father of Miley Cyrus rocked head-to-toe black, wearing a raven suit with the requisite matching cowboy hat.

He left his top few buttons undone over his chest, allowing for a glimpse of the large gleaming cross he was wearing.
The couple took their seats in the crowd, with Billy Ray wrapping his arm caringly around Elizabeth as they cosied up for the show.
Billy Ray is a two-time CMA winner, once for the 1992 song Achy Breaky Heart that launched him to stardom and once for his 2019 comeback single, the remix of the Lil Nas X song Old Town Road on which he was featured.
Although he was not a nominee this year, he and his girlfriend hit the stage during the festivities to present single of the year to Ella Langley for You Look Like You Love Me featuring Riley Green.
The couple looked completely relaxed on stage as they walked on stage holding hands to present the gong before walking off arm-in-arm.
The category they were presenting proved a competitive field this year, including Lainey Wilson up for 4x4xU and rising bluegrass star Zach Top for I Never Lie.
Their rivals were Luke Combs for Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma, Megan Moroney for Am I Okay? and winner Ella Langley
Billy Ray himself won single of the year – one of his two CMA Awards ever – for Achy Breaky Heart, the song that made him a nationwide sex symbol.
He was regarded as a one-hit wonder for decades following that song, until he landed another smash in 2019 by featuring on the Old Town Road remix.

It comes after Elizabeth spilled all about the ‘ordinary life’ she enjoys with boyfriend Billy Ray, six months after stunning fans by revealing their romance on Instagram.
She gushed that she and the country singer are ‘very happy’ and revealed that despite their fame, their day-to-day lives together aren’t as glamorous as fans might expect.
She insisted that rather than spend their time hanging out at A-list parties and events, the couple are often found doing relaxed and ordinary activities together, like grocery shopping and bird watching.
Billy Ray spent his first UK summer at Elizabeth’s sprawling £6M country home in Herefordshire, which he is said to ‘love’, while she has also spent much time at his home in Tennessee – calling it ‘so beautiful’.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, the model said: ‘Obviously [Billy Ray] loves England. The weather is nicer here in the summer than it is in Tennessee.
‘He lives 40 minutes outside of Nashville. It’s so beautiful. Funnily enough, it actually looks a lot like England. Probably the equivalent of Surrey.’
And revealing what they spend their time doing in the area, she admitted that she cuts the musician’s hair for him.
She quipped: ‘I cut his hair the other day. We do have a lot of hair between us. We’re in constant danger of choking on hairballs. He has got very fuzzy hair. So we’ve actually got contrast hair, which we aim to make look the same in the end.’
They even go to the supermarket together and though Billy Ray opts to stay in the car while Elizabeth does the shopping, she insists this is not to avoid being mobbed by fans, but ‘because he would be annoying’.
Like us ordinary folk, they also spending times with each other’s families – though admittedly most couples aren’t parents to the likes of pop star Miley Cyrus and model Damian Hurley.
Elizabeth explained that their famous offspring have met and get along, gushing: ‘Damian and Miley have met, Billy’s kids are great and Billy has spent a lot of time with Damian. Everyone loves everyone, it’s lovely.’
The Bedazzled star has also revealed that one of the couple’s favourite hobbies is bird watching, while they have even adopted pets together.

Previously admitting that their relationship ‘feels nice’ because Billy Ray is so ‘supportive’, she told The Mirror: ‘We’ve adopted two tortoises, and I have become something of a bird watcher.
‘We’ve just seen some goshawks. They’re unbelievable. Very, very rare. There are only 1,000 nesting pairs in the UK.’
The couple originally met in 2022 while filming Philippe Martinez’s Caribbean-set comedy, Christmas in Paradise.
Elizabeth later confessed that ‘the opportunity to work with Billy Ray’ was one of the main reasons she shot the Lionsgate sequel to the 2021 flick Father Christmas is Back.
She gushed to MovieWeb in 2022: ‘I’ve long been a fan of him. My son was the age where he used to watch Hannah Montana all the time, so of course, I used to watch it with him.
‘I knew Billy Ray really well from that, and of course, some of his music. That was a big plus.’
Elizabeth welcomed 23-year-old son Damian during a 2001 fling with the late financier, Steve Bing.
The model – who is the spitting image of his mother – has an eye-popping seven godparents including her ex-boyfriend Hugh Grant, pop legend Elton John, soccer legend David Beckham, and comedian Denis Leary.
While Billy Ray is famously dad to singer Miley, 31, as well as adopted daughter Brandi, 38; adopted son Trace, 36; son Braison, 31; and daughter Noah, 25 – with ex-wife Tish Cyrus-Purcell and son Christopher, 33 with ex Kristin Luckey.
