Hudson Williams and Katelyn Rose Larson Make Red Carpet Debut as Couple at Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Canadian actor Hudson Williams and his girlfriend, tattoo artist Katelyn Rose Larson, stepped out together for the first time as a couple at the prestigious Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday night. The high-profile event, held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on March 15, 2026, marked their official red carpet debut, capturing significant media attention and fan excitement.
Matching Black Outfits Make a Fashion Statement
Williams, who rose to fame following the debut of the Crave series Heated Rivalry in late 2025, made a bold fashion statement in a sheer, sleeveless top with a dramatic train. Larson complemented his look perfectly, wearing a striking black lace gown that featured a midriff-bearing design. The couple's coordinated black ensembles showcased their stylish synergy and added to the glamour of the star-studded evening.
Public Confirmation of Relationship on Social Media
The actor had previously confirmed his relationship with Larson on social media back in February. On Valentine's Day, Williams shared several intimate photos of the pair on his Instagram Story, accompanied by a heartfelt caption. According to People magazine, he wrote, "with me since my 2000 gold Mazda Protégé smoked and squealed and I had no job." Celebrity gossip sources indicate that the duo have been romantically involved since at least 2020, making their red carpet appearance a long-awaited public milestone.
Unexpected Reunion with Co-Star Connor Storrie
Adding to the evening's buzz, Williams also posed for photos with his Heated Rivalry co-star and on-screen love interest, Connor Storrie, at the Oscars afterparty. Interestingly, both actors wore similarly sheer black tops with trousers, leading to speculation about coordinated outfits. However, Williams' stylist, Anastasia Walker, quickly clarified the situation on her Instagram Story.
Walker posted a photo of the two co-stars together and tagged Storrie's stylist, James Yardley, writing, "Me and @jamesyardley did not plan this." She emphasized that the matching looks were purely coincidental, despite the striking visual harmony. Williams sported a Balenciaga top, while Storrie showcased his physique in a tight, sheer high-neck top paired with trousers, accessorized with a black belt, a silver chain necklace, and a brown fur coat draped over his arm.
Background and Rising Fame of Hudson Williams
Hudson Williams has become a prominent figure in the entertainment industry following the success of Heated Rivalry, which has garnered a dedicated fanbase and sparked numerous related news stories.

Additionally, the show's cultural impact has extended to real estate, with the Heated Rivalry cottage becoming available for bookings on Airbnb, and even influencing public figures like Mark Carney, who received a fleece from Williams and commented on LGBTQ rights.
