While this year marks the first time they’ve attended the Met Gala as a couple, Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan are vets of the glitzy event. Last year, for “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” the Saltburn actor walked the carpet in a Burberry suit; in 2022, Carpenter was on-theme for “Gilded Glamour” in a custom look by Julien Dossena at Paco Rabanne.

Carpenter and Keoghan have been the subject of dating rumors since last December but didn’t hard launch their relationship—at least, publicly—until the Vanity Fair Oscars after party in March 2024. They walked the red carpet separately for that event, but photographers inside captured them in a cute moment:

Look closely and you’ll notice that Keoghan is wearing a friendship bracelet with Sabrina’s name above. The two also made headlines in April, when he was captured being a supportive bf and filming her set at Coachella.
It seems Sabrina is right: “When they act this way, I know I got ’em.”
