Charlize Theron & Sean Penn Walk Met Ball 2014 Red Carpet Together

Charlize Theron and Sean Penn stop to take some pictures before walking up the stairs inside the 2014 Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday (May 5) in New York City.

The 38-year-old actress held hands with her 53-year-old beau on the red carpet – so cute!

This year’s Costume Institute Gala Benefit – celebrating the opening of the Charles James: Beyond Fashion exhibition – is co-chaired by Bradley Cooper, Sarah Jessica Parker, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, and others.

FYI: Charlize is wearing Dior with Fred Leighton jewels.
