Oscar nominee's sheer lace red-carpet debut with her new man

Ana de Armas has made it red-carpet official. The Oscar-nominated actress, 38, posed arm in arm with her boyfriend, Venezuelan singer Beto Montenegro, at the Latin Recording Academy's 2026 Person of the Year Gala in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Nov. 11.

And she didn't play it safe. Ana stepped out in a black corset and a long, sheer lace skirt.

It was their first formal red carpet as a couple, according to IBTimes, after months of being spotted together in Spain.

The gala, at the MGM Grand, honoured Daddy Yankee as the Latin Recording Academy's Person of the Year. Beto was there to work: his band, Rawayana, performed as part of the tribute, Just Jared reported.

Ana was there to support him, and to steal the show.

The look

The dress was by Wiederhoeft, the New York label founded in 2019 by designer Jackson Wiederhoeft and known for its gothic, corset-heavy designs.

The structured black corset had a boat neckline that left her shoulders bare, with metallic fastenings and lace detailing, according to Xmag. Its pointed hem cinched her waist.

Below it, a long semi-sheer skirt covered in floral embroidery, shimmering appliqués and fringing moved as she walked. The look came straight off the label's runway.

She finished it with pointed black heels, a delicate diamond choker by Fiametta and sleek, straight dark hair parted down the middle.

It was also a change of pace for the star. Ana is an ambassador for Louis Vuitton, and stepping out in another label made the look a talking point on its own.

Beto, 37, kept it simple in a dark suit. The couple arrived together and posed for photographers before Ana left, while Beto and his bandmates stayed to speak with the press, IBTimes reported.

From Formentera to Vegas

The pair were first linked in the summer, after they were seen in Madrid and photographed kissing on a trip to the Spanish island of Formentera.

In October, they arrived hand in hand at a Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week, according to Xmag.

Earlier in Latin Grammy week, Ana was on the sidelines at El Partido, a charity football match run by Sony Music Latin Iberia, cheering as Beto played for the Red Team.

Beto is the lead singer and guitarist of Rawayana, the band he co-founded in 2007, which mixes reggae, funk, rock, pop and Caribbean sounds and has won Grammy and Latin Grammy awards.

The band's album ¿Dónde Es El After? was up for album of the year at the Latin Grammys the next night, on Thursday, Nov. 12. The award went to Anitta's Equilibrivm, according to Billboard.

He may have gone home without the big trophy. But he had Ana by his side all week, from the football pitch to the red carpet.
