The Avatar actress wore round earrings and placed her left hand on her hip to show off her tattoos.
Perego, 45, donned a black suit with his blonde locks falling over his shoulders as he lovingly held his wife’s hand.

Just two weeks ago, the couple sat down with Drew Barrymore as they talked candidly about their marriage.
The 45-year-old actress said her film director husband is deeply in love with her.
‘It feels wonderful. “I have to say it was hard for me to accept it for years when we first got married,” she said.
Zoë added: “There’s a part of us and women, you know, when we’ve had our hearts broken before, where we sabotage ourselves a lot and then one day you just wake up and you’re like, oh, maybe this is real. ‘
At one point, the 45-year-old director reassured his wife, leading to a sweet moment.
“Maybe he really wants to ask me if I’m comfortable. So I just have to say, thank you, that’s me. And the next step is to ask him if he feels comfortable,” she added.
She also admitted that she likes to swim naked.
“Sometimes when we’re in Europe and the Caribbean, we forget our bathing suits and just go for a swim,” the Guardians of the Galaxy star admitted.
They then revealed their code word for initiating intimacy to ensure others don’t catch on.
“Oh God… and he just found a way to call sexy time like you’re naked playing with Legos,” the mother of three said.
“So the boys, at least our older ones, got it and said, ‘Are you guys kissing? Are you going to play naked with your Legos?’ And we said, “No, we’re not going to do that,” she laughed.
Marco added: ‘We can try. We’re playing Lego naked now.’
Their relationship is connected by something even more permanent.
The couple has tattoos of each other’s faces on various places on their bodies.
She shared, “Oh my God, his is better. I have his on my torso, but because Marco looks like the Catholic version of Jesus Christo, of Jesus Christ.
“Everyone thinks, you know, when I undress around people, they say, ‘Are you very religious?’ I say, ‘No, why,’ and then, ‘Well, because you have a portrait of Jesus,’ and I say, ‘No, that’s my husband.’
Still, the couple finds time for each other – especially when it comes to walking the red carpet together like they did on Saturday night.

Held at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles, the glittering awards event honors those who have achieved achievements in the fields of math and science, with each winner receiving $3 million, according to a press release.
But despite its focus outside of showbiz, the chic gala reliably draws a cavalcade of A-list celebrities to hit the red carpet and hand out the prizes.
This year’s formal gathering, hosted by James Corden, drew a formidable crowd of bold names, including none other than Elon Musk, Kim Kardashian and Margot Robbie.
