Penn Badgley may be the famous face in his marriage – but his wife stole the show during a rare red carpet appearance on Thursday.
The You star, 37, was joined by his gorgeous, better half, Domino Kirke, 40, at the Giorgio Armani Women's fashion show and after-party at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City.
Penn looked dapper in a dark tuxedo with a velvet jacket and bowtie, but it was Domino who stood out wearing a floor-length black gown with a square neckline and velvet detailing.
Domino's sleeveless dress showcased the numerous tattoos scattered over her arms, hands, and fingers.
She accentuated her natural beauty with minimal makeup and wore her brunette hair down in a straight style.
Penn met his wife, a singer and doula to A-listers like Amy Schumer, in 2014. The pair tied the knot three years later in early 2017 in a simple courthouse ceremony.

Speaking of his blended family, the Gossip Girl alum told the New York Times' Modern Love podcast in March: "I have an interesting situation where I have a biological son and a stepson.
"And my stepson is – his father is very much in his life, so his father is his father, and I'm something else."

"I did most of that without any kids or spouse, you know? Or any real consideration for family – and now all that's very different," he told Variety. "And I didn't do it with anything other than the pipe dreams of being a producer or a director or writer."
He added: "If this is how I'm going to exist in a way that for me is sustainable – emotionally and spiritually and psychologically – then this is how I'm gonna do it."

He told Access: "The funny thing is I was curious what my new fatherhood, how that would influence my experience with Joe and acting with him, and sometimes it was almost not helpful because I was having such a light and joyful experience – still am – and Joe is so petrified."

Domino previously opened up about her relationship with the A-lister. Speaking to Hey Mama, she revealed that when she first met Penn, she didn't expect their relationship to become serious.

"Penn and I were dating, but it wasn't nearly as serious as it is now, of course. I didn't think marriage was in the cards for us."
