Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton have made their red carpet debut together, although they invited some friends along for the occasion.
Fresh Meat star Zawe accompanied her boyfriend on the red carpet at the Tony Awards, where Tom, 40, was nominated for best performance by an actor in a leading role in a play for his work in Betrayal.
Zawe, 37, starred opposite Tom in the Broadway production of Harold Pinter’s play, as did Daredevil star Charlie Cox, and both Charlie and the play’s director Jamie Lloyd – who was nominated for best director at the Tonys – joined the couple on the red carpet.
We think that’s what they call a group hang.
Zawe was the belle of the ball in a red tulle gown, and stood between her two leading men, who both wore tuxedos and bow ties, for the cameras.
Sadly for the group, Tom lost out to David Alan Grier from A Soldier’s Play for the gong, while best direction of a play was taken by The Inheritance’s Stephen Daldry.

However, we’re sure the play still holds a special place in the cast’s hearts, not least because it was where Tom and Zawe got close.
The pair starred as a married couple in the West End revival of Betrayal in 2019 before it moved to Broadway, and reportedly struck up a romance.
Months later, Zawe moved into the actor’s Atlanta home in lockdown, after Tom set up base in Georgia when production on his Disney+ series Loki was suspended.
While they have kept their relationship very low-key, their romance was confirmed earlier this month as the couple kissed in the sea on a trip to Ibiza.

While frolicking in the sea may remind Tom fans of another high-profile relationship – one involving an I <3 TS vest – Tom and Zawe have continued to keep things on the DL.
The Night Manager star Tom previously dated Wallander co-star Susannah Fielding, with their relationship ending in 2011, and had a high-profile six month romance with Taylor Swift in 2016 after meeting at a party in Anna Wintour’s house.
Speaking about the Hiddleswift phenomenon a year on, he told GQ: ‘I was surprised that it got so much attention. This tank top became an emblem of this whole thing.

’A relationship exists between two people. We will always know what it was.. Nobody had the context for that story and I’m still trying to work out a way of having a personal life and protecting it, but also without hiding.’
While Tom is a huge figure in the MCU thanks to his role as Loki, Zawe will also be part of the MCU as of next year, starring in an unspecified role in Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels.
Now that’s what we call a power couple.
