Elle Fanning towered over her boyfriend Gus Wenner as the glamorous couple made their entrance at the 2026 Golden Globes on Sunday in Los Angeles.
The Emmy-nominated actress, 27, and media exec, 35, have been romantically-linked since 2023, when they were spotted holding hands during a public outing.
On Sunday, Wenner donned a black tuxedo on the red carpet, while the 5-foot-9 Elle was clad in a gray Gucci gown with blue highlights.
She rounded out her luxe ensemble with a diamond necklace, with her blonde locks parted in the middle.
Fanning had been nominated in the category of Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for Sentimental Value. She fell short in her bid, as One Battle After Another’s Teyana Taylor won in the category.
The annual award show marks the venue where the couple first chose to emerge publicly with one another, as they walked the red carpet together in 2024.

The 83rd Golden Globe Awards have brought together some of the brightest stars in film and television at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday.
Comedian Nikki Glaser will be serving as the master of ceremonies for the second year in a row as she will no doubt have A-listers shaking as she will be bringing her shocking no-holds-barred sense of humor to her hosting duties.
‘Hosting the Golden Globes this year was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career,’ Glaser, 41, said in a March statement. ‘I can’t wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from The White Lotus who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in season 4 as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past.’
