Mick Jagger might be 81, but the Rolling Stones frontman is still rocking red carpets with the swagger that made him a legend. On March 1, Jagger stepped out with his longtime girlfriend, 37-year-old Melanie Hamrick, for a rare public appearance at Chanel and Charles Finch’s annual pre-Oscars dinner in Beverly Hills. The event, held at The Beverly Hills Hotel’s iconic Polo Lounge, was packed with stars and Oscar nominees, but it was Jagger and Hamrick who stole the show with their effortless style and undeniable chemistry.
So, what’s the story behind their glamorous date night? Let’s dive into all the details.
Rock Royalty Meets Ballet Grace: A Stylish Date Night
Jagger may be known for his bold fashion choices, but he took things up a notch with a silky, baby pink bomber jacket layered over a gray shirt and teal trousers. The look, paired with black sneakers, was a fun nod to Grease’s Pink Ladies—and proved once again that Mick Jagger isn’t afraid to take risks. His signature tousled hair completed the look, making him the coolest 81-year-old on the red carpet.
Meanwhile, Melanie Hamrick kept things classic and chic in a strapless black midi dress, accessorized with a dainty silver Chanel belt. The former ballerina added a pop of color with a glossy, fuchsia lip that perfectly complemented Jagger’s outfit. Clear and black heels tied the whole look together, making the duo one of the most stylish couples at the event.
It wasn’t just their outfits that turned heads. The pair looked genuinely smitten, cuddling up for the cameras and sharing a few laughs before mingling with other celebrities, including Oscar nominees Adrien Brody and Colman Domingo.
A Love Story That Defies the Age Gap
Jagger and Hamrick’s relationship might raise a few eyebrows due to their 44-year age gap, but it’s clear the pair don’t let the difference bother them. In a rare interview with The Times last fall, Hamrick opened up about the age difference, saying, “Everyone’s going to have their opinion. If you think about others’ opinions, no matter where you are in life, you’re going to have a problem and you’re going to analyze it.”
The two first met in Tokyo in early 2014 when The Rolling Stones and the American Ballet Theatre were both on tour. However, sparks didn’t fly until that summer when Jagger invited Hamrick to join him in Zurich. Their relationship soon turned romantic, and in 2016, they welcomed their son, Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger. Now 8 years old, Deveraux is Jagger’s youngest child, joining his seven older siblings: Karis, Jade, Elizabeth, James, Georgia May, Lucas, and Gabriel.
Despite being together for over a decade, Hamrick prefers to keep their romance low-key. Her Instagram is filled with photos of her dance projects and Deveraux rather than snapshots of her and Mick. Still, their appearance at the pre-Oscars dinner shows that they’re as solid as ever.
A Night to Remember in Beverly Hills
The pre-Oscars dinner wasn’t just a date night for Jagger and Hamrick—it was also a chance for the rock icon to catch up with fellow stars. Jagger was seen chatting and even posing for a cheeky snap with Adrien Brody, who’s been making waves for his role in The Brutalist, and Colman Domingo, nominated for Sing Sing.
The Beverly Hills Hotel’s Polo Lounge, with its old Hollywood charm, was the perfect backdrop for the night’s mix of rock legends, A-list actors, and industry bigwigs. And while the event was packed with Oscar buzz, it was Mick and Melanie’s rare public display of affection that had everyone talking.
