The biggest night in Hollywood was also date night for some of your favorite A-Listers.

Among the stars to step out hand in hand with their significant others at the Oscars and its after parties were Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor, who have been together since 2015.

And for the special night out, a rare red carpet appearance for the pair, they had perfectly contrasting outfits.

Sarah, 51, opted for an all white ensemble, looking like a doll in a Matieres Fecales FW26 ensemble, featuring a creamy-hued fuzzy cardigan with strong shoulder pads, paired with a wide silk belt and a perfectly structured matching tulle skirt.

Meanwhile Holland, 83, went in the opposite direction, wearing an oversized, shiny brocade motorcycle jacket with thickly-hemmed fur sleeves and a matching purse.

On the red carpet, Sarah and Holland, much as the former is known for her stellar horror roles, told Variety they won't be sharing the screen in a horror movie anytime soon — but gave a hilarious reason for it.

"We deal with one another, and that's its own horror movie," Sarah further joked.

Them attending the annual Vanity Fair Oscars after party was somewhat of a rare appearance from the two, who last stepped out together to celebrate Sarah's Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony in December. Before that, their last public event was the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures 4th Annual Gala in October 2024.

Speaking at Sarah's Hollywood Star ceremony, Holland gushed: "She will fearlessly rush to play people who are discredited, pitied, despondent, horrible, mean, twisted, overlooked, and misjudged."

She added: "The result is she is their defender, their rescuer, their restitution. It turns out her secret skill as an actor is her own humanity.

 In her own remarks at the ceremony, described Holland as her "love and greatest champion," and emphasized she feels "forever indebted" to her partner of over a decade, as well as the two others who honored her on the special day, Amanda Peet and Ryan Murphy, for "being in my life so robustly, for always telling me the truth and loving me when it's not always easy to do."
