The “Kardashians” star dolled up in a black plunging halter gown for the special occasion, accessorizing with a diamond ring.

As for the actor, he kept it causal in a green long-sleeve button-up and sagging blue jeans.

Chalamet, 29, and Jenner, 27, haven’t shied away from publicly spending more time together this year since attending the 2025 Golden Globes in January.

At the time, the couple packed on the PDA for photographers while sitting at a star-studded table with actress Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro.

On Jan. 15, the “Little Women” star and the businesswoman were photographed holding hands, as they returned to the Hotel Royal Monceau in Paris.

They appeared in good spirits after eating dinner at one of chef Cyril Lignac’s ritzy restaurants.

That same month, Jenner supported Chalamet after his “Saturday Night Live” appearance in New York City.

The two were seen sneaking out of an afterparty together in the early morning of Jan. 26.

Most recently, the reality star and Chalamet were photographed heading into a hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., earlier this month.

Jenner will likely attend the Oscars with Chalamet on March 2, and an insider told Page Six that she is “screaming with excitement” because her boyfriend is nominated for best actor in “A Complete Unknown.”

The duo sparked dating rumors in April 2023, and we’re told Jenner “has never felt like this about anybody else before and definitely sees a future with him.”

Jenner is the mother to a 7-year-old daughter, Stormi, and a 3-year-old son, Aire, whom she shares with ex Travis Scott.
