Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams chose the BAFTAs to make it official. Not with a statement, not with a caption, but with a walk — side by side, steady, and fully aware of the flashbulbs waiting for them.
The Irish actor, 30, and the 26-year-old singer made their red carpet debut together at the British Academy Film Awards on Sunday, confirming what had lingered in the margins since 2024. They arrived calm, composed, and unmistakably together — a quiet power move in a room built on spectacle.
Abrams wore Chanel, pulled from Matthieu Blazy’s 2026 Métiers d’art collection. The dress carried an aquatic print, structured with a clean boat neckline and a plunging back that cut deep but stayed precise. Black patterning ran throughout, broken by thick turquoise beaded piping that gave the look weight and intention. She didn’t overplay it. She didn’t need to.
Mescal, nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Hamnet, kept things disciplined. Prada. Black trousers, black sport coat, white shirt underneath — open at the collar, relaxed but deliberate. It’s become his uniform. No theatrics, no gimmicks. Just control.
Their relationship has moved carefully. Rumours first surfaced in 2024, but both kept their distance from the usual celebrity choreography. Abrams acknowledged him publicly in July with a single Instagram post. No commentary. No follow-up campaign. Just confirmation.
Mescal addressed it once, briefly, in a September interview. “Everything to do with that is deeply precious to me,” he said. “I want to protect those things fundamentally.”
That restraint has defined them. No oversharing. No performance. Just two people at the height of their careers, stepping into view on their own terms.
At the BAFTAs, they didn’t chase attention. They held it.
