Comedian Pete Davidson made his first official red carpet appearance with his girlfriend, model Elsie Hewitt, at a charity gala in New York City this week. The event, however, sparked immediate discussion as Hewitt’s ensemble drew direct comparisons to a famous look worn by one of Davidson’s former partners.
Hewitt attended the Endometriosis Foundation of America’s Blossom Ball in a dark gold, semi-sheer gown that sparkled under the event lights. The sleeveless, ankle-length dress featured thin straps, and she completed the look with elegant earrings and her hair styled in a sleek, pulled-back bun. Davidson opted for a more casual approach, wearing a pale yellow button-down over a white tank top paired with khaki trousers.
Observers were quick to note the similarity between Hewitt’s outfit and the iconic cream-colored, crystal-embellished dress that Kim Kardashian famously wore to the 2022 Met Gala. On that occasion, Kardashian had also styled her hair in a platinum blonde, tight bun—a detail mirrored in Hewitt’s recent hairstyle. Davidson had accompanied Kardashian to that event as her date.
Davidson and Hewitt’s relationship became public knowledge in March after they were photographed together in Florida. Reports suggest the couple’s relationship has progressed quickly, with sources indicating they have recently moved in together, splitting their time between a property upstate and a rental in Brooklyn. An insider described them as “so happy together and doing great.”
The comedian’s high-profile dating history, which includes relationships with figures like Ariana Grande and Kate Beckinsale, often overshadows his professional work. Davidson has openly expressed frustration with this narrative, stating in a past interview that he wishes to be recognized for his creative output in comedy and film rather than his personal life. His latest relationship follows his split from actress Chase Sui Wonders approximately eight months ago.
