His last Oscars appearance came in 2022, when he also brought his mother as his date to the show. Back in August 2020, the A Star Is Born actor opened up to Anthony Ramos for Interview Magazine about caring for his aging mother and his now-6-year-old daughter Lea De Seine.

"I'm with my daughter and my mother and my two dogs, and we have not left the house," he shared at the time. "My mother is going to be 80, and she has a colostomy bag, so I can't let anybody in the house. And I can't leave the house, because if she gets it, it's over."

In recent weeks, speculation arose over whether the director would bring his new flame Gigi Hadid to the Hollywood ceremony, officially debuting their relationship at an event. The pair have been linked since October 2023, when they were spotted exiting Via Carota in New York City together.

A source later told PEOPLE in December, “They were quietly dating for much longer before it went public and were very hush-hush, trying to see if things would work between them. They had several months together privately and things have been going really well.”

Throughout awards season, the Maestro leading man has appeared on the red carpet wearing a classic black-and-white look. At the 2024 SAG Awards, the star wore a traditional Louis Vuitton suit and tie. Keeping the color palette and the LV name, he stepped out in a military trench coat at the 2024 BAFTA Awards.
