Shawn Mendes and girlfriend Camila Cabello stepped out in matching Michael Kors Collection outfits.

Model Nicola Peltz stepped onto the carpet in a bright pink Valentino ballgown embellished with delicate beading. Fiancé Brooklyn Beckham was not far behind, looking smart and sophisticated in a classic black suit.
