Nicolas Cage and his wife Riko Shibata gave an elegant presentation at the Golden Globes on Sunday.
The Renfield star looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo as his 6ft frame absolutely towered over his petite wife Riko, 29.
Riko looked beautiful in a taupe-colored lace-up coat with a sheer skirt and a black fur jacket with short sleeves.
In heels, Riko reached just above Nic’s shoulder, meaning that in bare feet she would be shorter than the height of his shoulder.
He met Riko during a trip to Japan in 2020. They married in 2021 when he was 57 and she was 26.
She is his fifth wife and they share daughter August Francesca, two.

The Con Air star was previously married to Patricia Arquette from 1995 to 2001, Lisa Marie Presley from 2002 to 2004, Alice Kim from 2004 to 2016 and Erika Koike for four days in 2019.
Cage also has two sons, Weston, 34, whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend, actress Christina Fulton, and Kal-El, 19, from his marriage to Kim.
Riko is not Nic’s first much younger wife; his last three wives have all been more than twenty years younger than him.
Alice Kim, now 40, and Erika Koike, now 39, are both decades younger than Francis Ford Coppola’s cousin.
Riko and Nic were introduced through friends and he proposed to her via FaceTime while she was at home in Kyoto and he was at home in Las Vegas.
At 60, the Oscar winner is 31 years older than the Kyoto native, who is also four years younger than his first son Weston.
Cage married Riko in an “intimate” wedding at the Wynn Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas in 2021, with the date chosen to honor the groom’s late father’s birthday.
“It’s true, and we are very happy,” he told DailyMail.com in a statement about their wedding.

Nic – who turns 61 on January 7 – met Riko during a trip to Japan in 2020
A Nevada marriage certificate obtained by DailyMail.com shows that Riko adopted Cage’s name and is now known as Riko Cage.
Official documents show that Cage and Riko applied for their marriage license on January 10 – the day of Riko’s 26th birthday – and that it is her first marriage.
Cage announced their engagement in an interview with his brother Marc Coppola’s radio show in August 2021.
He said at the time, “She left New York and went back to Kyoto, Japan, and I went back to Nevada and I haven’t seen her in six months.”
“We’re very happy together and we’re really looking forward to spending that time together, so I finally just said, ‘Look, I want to marry you,’ and we got engaged over FaceTime.”
“I bought her a black diamond engagement ring.”
“Her favorite color is black, so she wanted the black gold and black diamond.”
“I customized it and personalized it and I even FedExed it to her.”

They married in 2021 when he was 57 and she was 26. She is his fifth wife and they share daughter August Francesca, two.
Earlier this year, Cage discussed his relationship with his three children, whom he shares with three different women.
‘They are all different experiences. They all have a different mother,” he said The New Yorker in an interview.
“It’s not what I originally thought would happen if I fell in love or got married – that I would have three different children with three different mothers – but that’s what happened,” he continued.
‘Every child is different. There is a different level of attention,” he said.
