The couple appeared in good spirits as they posed together at the gala, with their latest outing coming weeks after they were reportedly spotted sharing affectionate moments during a trip to Rome.
Emily Ratajkowski and Gavras were first seen kissing in New York in November last year before making their relationship Instagram official in February 2026.
Their appearance at the Los Angeles event adds to a series of public outings since their romance became known.
The model’s relationship with Gavras is also her longest reported romance since her divorce from film producer Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022.
Following the split, Ratajkowski was linked to several high-profile personalities, including Pete Davidson, Harry Styles and comedian Eric André.
Who is Romain Gavras?
Gavras is a French film director whose work includes the 2018 film The World Is Yours, which screened at the Cannes Film Festival’s Directors’ Fortnight, and Athena, which premiered at the Venice International Film Festival in 2022.
His latest film, Sacrifice, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2026 and marks his English-language debut.
The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy in a story about a zealot who plans to sacrifice three influential people in an attempt to save the world from destruction.
Gavras has also directed music videos, including Jay-Z, Kanye West and Frank Ocean’s No Church in the Wild, which earned a Grammy nomination in 2013.
He is the son of acclaimed Greek-French filmmaker Costa-Gavras.
Gavras’ previous high-profile relationships
Before dating Emily Ratajkowski, Gavras was romantically involved with British singer Dua Lipa. Their relationship ended in 2023 after approximately eight months together.
He also previously dated singer Rita Ora. The pair were linked in 2020 and reportedly enjoyed holidays together before their relationship ended during the Covid-19 lockdown period.
For Ratajkowski and Gavras, however, their latest red-carpet appearance suggests their relationship continues to develop, with the pair increasingly appearing together at public events.
