Leo’s Oscars Date Night: A Star-Studded Evening with Vittoria Ceretti
The glitz and glamour of the 98th Academy Awards saw Hollywood heavyweight Leonardo DiCaprio step out in style, not just for his highly anticipated Best Actor nomination, but also for a special date night with his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti. The 51-year-old actor, nominated for his role in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another,” was a prominent figure in the front row alongside the 27-year-old model.
While the coveted Best Actor award ultimately went to Michael B. Jordan for “Sinners,” DiCaprio was in esteemed company, facing stiff competition from fellow nominees Timothée Chalamet (“Marty Supreme”), Wagner Moura (“The Secret Agent”), and Ethan Hawke (“Blue Moon”). This nomination marked another milestone in DiCaprio’s illustrious career, recalling his previous Best Actor win at the 2016 Oscars for “The Revenant.”
DiCaprio and Ceretti, a couple since 2023 according to reports, have cultivated a preference for maintaining a degree of privacy around their relationship. However, they have made notable appearances at several high-profile events, including the prestigious 2025 Met Gala, hinting at a growing comfort with sharing their moments in the public eye.
Previously, DiCaprio has been accompanied by his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, 82, to major awards ceremonies, including the 2026 Golden Globe Awards and the BAFTAs. This year’s Oscars, however, marked a different kind of significant plus-one.
In an insightful April 2025 cover story for Vogue France, Ceretti shared a glimpse into their relationship’s beginnings. She revealed that the couple first crossed paths in Milan. While she opted to keep the finer details private, she candidly discussed the challenges of dating someone in the public spotlight.
“As soon as you’re in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become ‘girlfriend of’—or ‘boyfriend of,’ for that matter. And that can be extremely annoying,” Ceretti explained in French. “Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so’s girlfriend who was so-and-so’s ex.” Her words shed light on the pressures faced by individuals in high-profile relationships, navigating public perception alongside personal connection.
Red Carpet Ready: DiCaprio’s Solo Flourish
While the ceremony itself saw DiCaprio with Ceretti by his side, the actor made an individual statement on the Oscars red carpet. He arrived solo, exuding classic Hollywood charm in a sharp black tuxedo, a crisp white shirt, and a signature Rolex watch. Adding a touch of personal flair and a nod to a cause close to his heart, DiCaprio sported a bee pin on his tuxedo collar.
This distinctive accessory is a symbol of bee:wild, a global initiative dedicated to protecting pollinators and restoring their vital habitats, operating under the Re:wild umbrella. DiCaprio’s active involvement as a founding board member underscores his commitment to environmental conservation. His choice of timepiece also highlighted his role as a brand ambassador for Rolex.
Style Highlights: Mustache and Burgundy Chic
Beyond the meaningful accessories, DiCaprio’s chevron mustache was a definite talking point, adding a touch of distinctive character to his ensemble. Meanwhile, Vittoria Ceretti presented a sophisticated and elegant look, opting for a striking burgundy dress. Her hair was neatly styled in a tight, slick-back bun, complementing the understated glamour of her attire.
The Oscars night was a blend of professional recognition and personal celebration for Leonardo DiCaprio, marked by his presence with Vittoria Ceretti and his continued engagement with causes he champions. The event provided a platform for both his acting achievements and his personal style, making for a memorable evening in Hollywood.
