Boynton toldPORTERmagazine last year that sheusually gets readyon her own before meeting her boyfriend at their destination. “I always leave earlier than him,” shesaid. “I get ready with my team, then see him at the event.”
That’s why Boynton didn’t know until she arrived at the 2019 Critics’ Choice Awards that she and Malek coordinated — just like they did on Sunday night.

“It was only when we were sitting down that we did that kind of look across, and it was like, ‘Ha!’” the British-American star continued toPORTER. “But really, I don’t think we want to be that couple, the coordinated duo! Being ‘thing one’ and ‘thing two’ is not the trajectory we’re aiming for.”

Boynton donned a Louis Vuitton dress embellished with silk-thread lace. The silver metallic gown required “15 meters of velvet” and was “specially interwoven with silk and Lurex yarn,”according to the brand. It took more than 215 hours to create and 220 hours to hand-embroider.
