Pete Davidson Turns Heads with Elsie Hewitt at Blossom Ball Debut
Oh joy, the world finally got its red carpet fix of Pete Davidson carrying actual arm candy into a charity gala. On May 11, 2024, Davidson and British actress Elsie Hewitt made their first official appearance as a couple at New York’s legendary Plaza Hotel for the 13th Annual Blossom Ball—an event benefiting neurofibromatosis research, per the Children’s Tumor Foundation press notes. According to People Magazine, the pair strolled in hand-in-hand, with Davidson rocking a sleek Saint Laurent tuxedo and Elsie dazzling in a floor-sweeping navy strapless gown by Armani. Page Six first spotted them cozying up at LA’s P.J. Clarke’s back in February, but this was the moment that turned dinner whispers into “peak Hollywood romance” headlines.
If you were wondering how he’d follow up that headline-grabbing split from Kim Kardashian in December 2023 (courtesy of E! News), here’s your answer: elbow bumps and wrist-to-wrist PDA in front of flashing cameras. Sources on site say Pete cracked a few self-deprecating jokes in his brief remarks, nodding to the evening’s cause before professing that “anything for these kids” and calling the foundation’s work “next-level inspiring.” Elsie, who recently appeared in a minor arc on a Netflix series, leaned into the moment with genuine smiles—no model-off-the-runway stoicism here.
The guest list was predictably star-studded—JoJo Siwa in sequins, Cynthia Erivo in emerald silk—but all eyes were glued to the new duo stealing low-key couple goals amid the velvet ropes. By 9 p.m., they’d posed for Getty-supplied paparazzi shots, shared a private laugh in front of the media wall, and vanished into the ballroom where cocktails and charity auctions awaited. Sources confirm they dropped six figures in silent bids, cementing their side-hustle status as philanthropists rather than just headline fodder.
Is this glossed-up public debut a genuine power couple moment or the first stage of a carefully curated PR cycle? Only time will tell if Pete and Elsie will keep dialing down the drama—or dial up the duo branding. Stay tuned for what happens when the next big gala invites hit their inboxes. Nothing shocking here, folks. Let’s all act surprised.
