Riz Ahmed is the first Muslim to be nominated for an Academy Award in the lead actor category.
Ahmed and his wife Fatima Farheen Mirza made their red carpet debut at the 2021 Oscars and they were the cutest couple.
The couple got married during the coronavirus pandemic; the actor revealed to Jimmy Fallon that he proposed to his wife using 'Scrabble' board game.
And the newlyweds looked breathtaking for the annual event, Riz mastered a blue and black tuxedo by Prada with a cummerbund over a mock turtleneck while his wife Fatima wowed a light blue Valentino gown and red heels, she kept her makeup simple with a subtle pink lip.
The duo shared the most adorable moment on the red carpet, as the Sound of Metal actor asked photographers to give him a second to help his wife fix her hair, then he joked 'I'm the official groomer'. And fans couldn't stop gushing over the two lovebirds!
Oh to have your hair fixed by Riz Ahmed... https://t.co/cS6MZ7ExOb
