The Met Gala 2024 theme may be “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” but there was nothing snoozy about Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan at the event. Indeed, as the couple walked the carpet together, we couldn’t help but think of Carpenter’s hit “Espresso” and the lyrics, “Oh, he looks so cute wrapped around my finger.”

The couple made their red-carpet debut at the 2024 Met Gala, and they couldn’t have looked hotter (or more in love). The Saltburn star wore a sleek Burberry suit and a David Yurman “wolf” brooch with a wool top hat; according to Vogue, his look was an ode to the character of Count Axel in J.G. Ballard’s short story “The Garden of Time,” which served as the basis for the evening’s dress code. The singer, meanwhile, opted for a black-and-blue Oscar de la Renta gown that was inspired by an orchid.

While this year marks the first time they’ve attended the Met Gala as a couple, Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan are vets of the glitzy event. Last year, for “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” the Saltburn actor walked the carpet in a Burberry suit; in 2022, Carpenter was on theme for the Gilded Glamour dress code in a custom look by Julien Dossena at Paco Rabanne.

Carpenter and Keoghan were the subject of dating rumors starting last December but didn’t hard-launch their relationship—at least, publicly—until the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in March 2024. They walked the red carpet separately for that event, but photographers inside captured them in a cute moment:

Look closely above and you’ll notice that Keoghan is wearing a friendship bracelet with Sabrina’s name. The two also made headlines in April, when he was captured being a supportive bf and filming her set at Coachella.

It seems Sabrina is right: “When they act this way, I know I got ’em.”
