Riz Ahmed played stylist at the 2021 Oscars on Sunday, making sure his wife Fatima Farheen Mirza was ready for the red carpet.

The cameras caught Ahmed asking the photographers to pause for a second so that he could fix her hair.

"I'm the official groomer," he quipped as he made sure Mirza's hair was behind her shoulders.

The "Sound of Metal" star wore black from head to toe with his Prada ensemble, while Mirza sparkled in a long-sleeved turquoise gown.

Ahmed and Mirza, who got married this year, made their red-carpet debut on Sunday.

Ahmed opened up for the first time about his wife in January, revealing that they had met by chance in a New York cafe.

"We just both sat down at the same table in a cafe, where we both turned up to write," he told Jimmy Fallon on "The Tonight Show."

"We were both jostling over the same laptop plug points, like a very modern way of meeting," he added.

Ahmed said he and Mirza got married in a backyard wedding due to the pandemic.

"It was kind of interesting doing it with COVID and everything going on," he said. "Obviously kept it super intimate and socially distant."
