Chris Evans and Alba Baptista stole the show at the 2026 Oscars with a rare red carpet moment that was a breath of fresh air amidst Hollywood’s glamour. The couple, who welcomed their daughter, Alma Grace Baptista Evans in October, made their first appearance together at a major event. It was a reminder that two private individuals can still fascinate us just by appearing together in public.
Effortlessly chic red carpet looks
Chris was the epitome of the classic leading man in a dashing black tuxedo complete with his trademark round sunglasses. Alba Baptista looked stunning in a shimmering silver gown with dainty off-shoulder sleeves and a striking blue necklace that perfectly complemented her radiant skin tone. It was a perfectly coordinated look.
First outing as new parents
This Oscars appearance marked a sweet milestone: their debut as parents on the red carpet. Evans, fresh off presenting an award, last walked solo at the 2019 ceremony, so seeing him with Alba felt special. Fans loved Alba’s post-baby glow stealing as much attention as her dress.
Romance that keeps blossoming
Their romance began with rumors in 2022, blossoming into a secret wedding in Massachusetts the following year. Evans chose to propose in Portuguese, a tribute to Alba’s heritage: “I practiced it all week to get it just right,” he told a crowd at a 2025 appearance, according to E! News online.Social media was flooded with heart emoticons and “couple goals” messages, all appreciating their low-key appearance amid the Oscars frenzy.
