Ellen Page looked blissfully happy as she was joined by her new girlfriend Samantha Thomas on the red carpet on Monday.

The couple posed together at the premiere for Freeheld in New York.

Ellen chose a fitted, black button down shirt, with white embellishments on the collar, worn underneath a black blazer.

Happy to be here: Samantha Thomas and Ellen Page showed off wide smiles as they attended the New York City premiere of Freeheld on Monday

Samantha donned a long-sleeved black jumpsuit for the occasion, coupled with a pair of black loafers.

She wore her blonde tresses styled straight, and seemed to be pleased to be supporting her girlfriend at the premiere, as she showed off a big smile.

The couple only recently made their debut at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month.

'I'm in love,' Ellen, 28, told People. 'Walking down the red carpet holding my girlfriend's hand is pretty special. It's pretty awesome.'

Ellen was also joined by her co-star Julianne Moore, who showed off a wide smile as she donned a stunning, floor-length black dress to hit the carpet.

Julianne wore a three-quarter length sleeve black dress, which hugged her trim figure and featured a flowing train.

A shimmery metallic bow cinched the dress in at the waist, highlighting the mother-of-two's taut tummy.

She wore her long, red tresses styled straight and in a side part, and kept her accessories simple for the occasion.

The Oscar winner sported a shimmery, smoky eye, but balanced out the dramatic look with a soft, pink lipstick.

Ellen and Julianne were also spotted posing alongside co-star Michael, 41, who dressed a bit more casually.

The Man of Steel actor wore a patterned button down over a fitted white T-shirt, along with a pair of dark wash jeans.

Michael finished off the laid-back look with a pair of bright, turquoise sneakers with navy blue shoe laces.

The film, which Ellen has worked on producing since 2008, is based on the true story of a dying New Jersey police detective who struggles to transfer her earned pension to her long-time domestic partner.

Earlier on Monday, at the AOL Build Speaker Series, Julianne admitted that before being moved by the plot, she almost turned down the role of Laurel Hester.

'I thought I don't want to do that. I don't like police movies, I don't know,' she shared as she joined Ellen and director Peter Sollett for the panel.

The film is based on a 2008 documentary which chronicles Detective Lieutenant Laurel Hester (Moore) as she fights for equality and protection for her domestic partner, Stacie Andree (Page).

Julianne's character is dying from stage IV lung cancer and only has months to live as she fights for her partner to receive the same rights as those in heterosexual relationships.

'Laurel is a hero because she demanded to be treated like everybody else,' she explained. 'She was a police detective and believed in the law enforcement and the justice system.'

Moved by the story: Julianne admitted at the AOL Build Speaker Series that she almost didn't take on the Freeheld role, because she 'doesn't like police movies'

Director's cut: The pair were joined by director Peter Sollett to discuss their new movie

'I just feel so grateful to be a part of telling Laurel and Stacie's story,' Ellen said. 'It's hard to wrap your head around how this could happen to a woman who spent her entire career fighting to protect the citizens of New Jersey.'

She continued: 'Then as she's dying is being denied her rights because she's in a relationship with a woman.'

Freeheld - which also stars Steve Carell - hits theaters on October 2.
