Meanwhile, girlfriend Rosalind, who is a screenwriter and ex-equestrian athlete, stunned in a loose-fitting silk gown.
The raven-haired beauty wore her locks in a loose bun and she was made-up flawlessly for the occasion, with a bold red lip highlighting her alabaster skin.
Rosalind's baby bump was visible despite the dress's draped appearance, with the due date of the couple's first child together believed to be just months away.

Meanwhile, Hacksaw Ridge star Andrew Garfield, who is nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture- Drama, praised Mel on the red carpet.
Talking to Ryan Seacrest, Andrew claimed that 'Mel is all gut and heart'.
Praising his directorial skills, Andrew stated, 'He's incredibly instinctive and a formidable story teller, a visceral storyteller and really kind of hits audiences right where it hurts.'

Since its November release, Hacksaw Ridge has been a critical and commercial success, grossing over $137 million worldwide.
Mel had previously been ostracised from Hollywood, after several high profile rants were caught on camera.
In 2006, Mel was arrested in Malibu for drink driving, launching into a anti-Semitic rant.
Mel was also at the centre of controversy in 2010, after a series of recordings allegedly of him verbally abusing ex-partner Oksana surfaced on Radar Online.
