Chris Evans and Alba Baptista Make Oscars 2026 Red Carpet Return
alba baptista and Chris Evans made a rare red carpet appearance at the Oscars 2026 on Sunday night (ET), arriving arm-in-arm at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles in what marked their second public carpet together since marriage. The couple, who became parents in October, posed closely throughout the evening as Evans also took the stage to present an award. Their outing combined personal celebration and awards-season visibility in one high-profile night.
Alba Baptista stuns on second red carpet
This was only the second red carpet outing for the pair since they married three years ago; the last time they stepped out together was in March 2024 at an Oscar party. alba baptista wore a shimmering silver Zuhair Murad gown with an off-the-shoulder design, plunging neckline, cinched waist and a flowing floor-sweeping skirt. She finished the look with a beaded choker, diamond studs and a statement ring, styling long brunette hair in bouncy curls and soft rosy makeup.
Suiting up: Evans’s tux and the couple’s carpet chemistry
Chris Evans complemented the look in a black double-breasted tuxedo, crisp white shirt and bow tie, finished with a black watch and round sunglasses. The two arrived arm-in-arm and posed closely across the carpet, a display of public affection that observers described as notably affectionate given the rarity of their appearances. The couple’s earlier public carpet included contrasting choices: on that March outing, she wore a white-and-black column dress while he chose a bright-red suit.
Family milestone, ceremony role and what’s next
The pair recently expanded their family in October; the daughter was born in Massachusetts. During the ceremony Evans presented the award for best screenplay. Their Oscars appearance came months after becoming parents and signals the couple’s selective return to the spotlight while navigating private family life. Expect their public calendar to remain limited: this appearance was framed by the context of a new child and the couple’s historically infrequent red carpet outings.
Closing the night, alba baptista and Evans left the Dolby Theatre together, reinforcing that their public appearances will likely remain rare and carefully chosen. Watch for any follow-up public events tied to the awards season and for statements or appearances that clarify whether this Oscars outing marks the start of more public engagements or another exclusive, infrequent moment for the family.
