Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler make red carpet debut at Met Gala 2022

Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2022 Met Gala in New York City on Monday.

For this year’s fête — which carries a gilded glamour dress code — the 20-year-old model dazzled in a lacy metallic gown by Alexander McQueen and jewels by Kwiat. Meanwhile, the “Elvis” star, 30, looked dapper in an all-black ensemble by Prada. 

They each accessorized their looks with sweet smiles while posing together for photographers.

The pair began dating in January following Gerber’s split from “Euphoria” actor Jacob Elordi. 

“They’re newly dating,” a source told Page Six at the time. “Kaia thinks Austin is a sweetheart. They’re having a lot of fun getting to know each other.”

Gerber’s parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, were “supportive of the relationship and only want to see Kaia happy,” the insider added.

Romance rumors started swirling in mid-December when Kaia and Butler were photographed leaving a yoga class together in Los Angeles. They were then spotted going to an airport to jet off on a holiday vacation.

Page Six broke the news in November that Kaia had called it quits with Elordi, 24, after one year of dating. 

Butler, for his part, previously dated former Disney Channel actress Vanessa Hudgens, who also attended Monday’s Met Gala in a sheer black Moschino number. The longtime lovebirds split in January 2020 after nearly nine years together. 

The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” actor was also briefly linked to Johnny Depp’s daughter, Lily-Rose Depp, last summer.
