Several of Hollywood’s finest joined forces on November 11, 2023, at the Baby2Baby Gala to honor Salma Hayek, the Giving Tree Award recipient, and help provide everyday necessities to impoverished children.
Aside from stars like Jessica Alba, Kim Kardashian, Alessandra Ambrosio, Hailey Bieber, Chrissy Teigen, and siblings Nicole and Sofia Richie, Hollywood’s hottest couples graced the red carpet. They turned the gala into a date night for a worthy cause.
1. Cole Sprouse and Ari Fournier: A Dashing Duo in Black
Riverdale star Cole Sprouse, who stands 5 feet 10½ inches (179.1 cm) tall, and model Ari Fournier, measuring 5 feet 8 inches (173 cm), have been dating since 2021.
The stylish couple once again proved their chemistry at the Baby2Baby Gala, turning heads in coordinating black ensembles that highlighted their effortlessly elegant, well-matched proportions and undeniable red-carpet charm.
Cole had his arm wrapped around his girlfriend’s tiny waist and looked handsome in a black suit, crisp white shirt, and a satin necktie. He finished his neat look with black dress shoes and his signature side-parted curly fringe.
His girlfriend of two years, Ari, looked glamorous in an archival Elie Saab gown with a structured pleated fan bodice and a waistband that accentuated her slim physique. The bottom part of her gorgeous dress featured a long black column skirt with a thigh-high slit, showcasing her long, toned legs.

The Fargo actor wore a traditional tuxedo with a white shirt and a bowtie, finished with black oxford shoes. On the other hand, his beautiful wife looked elegant in a semi-sheer, sleeveless gown from Dries Van Noten’s Fall 2023 collection.
The feminine “Devona” dress features strikingly colorful floral prints highlighting the Belgian fashion designer’s green thumb. Its classic column silhouette, jewel neckline, and floor-sweeping hem perfectly clung to the actress’s slender form.
