Nicolas Cage and his wife Riko Shibata put on a elegant display at the Golden Globes on Sunday.
The Renfield star looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo as his 6ft frame absolutely towered over his petite wife Riko, 29.
Riko looked lovely in a taupe lace down featuring a sheer skirt and a short-sleeved black fur jacket.
In heels, Riko came to just above Nic’s shoulder, which means she’d be shorter than the height of his shoulder when barefoot.
He met Riko during a trip to Japan in 2020. They married in 2021 when he was 57 and she was 26.
She is his fifth wife and they share daughter August Francesca, two.

The Con Air star was previously married to Patricia Arquette from 1995 to 2001, Lisa Marie Presley from 2002 to 2004, Alice Kim from 2004 to 2016 and Erika Koike for four days in 2019.
Cage also has two sons, Weston, 34, whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend actress Christina Fulton, and Kal-El, 19, from his marriage to Kim.
Riko isn’t Nic’s first much younger wife, his last three wives have all been more than 20 years younger than he is.
Alice Kim, now 40 and Erika Koike, now 39, both are decades younger than Francis Ford Coppola’s nephew.
Riko and Nic were introduced through friends and he proposed to her via FaceTime while she was home in Kyoto and he was home in Las Vegas.
At 60, the Oscar winner is 31 years older than the Kyoto native, who is also four years younger than his first son Weston.
Cage married Riko in an ‘intimate’ wedding at the Wynn Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas in 2021, with the date chosen to honor the birthday of the groom’s late father.
‘It’s true, and we are very happy,’ he told DailyMail.com in a statement about their marriage.
Nic – who will turn 61 on January 7 – met Riko during a trip to Japan in 2020
A state of Nevada marriage certificate obtained by DailyMail.com shows Riko has taken Cage’s name and is now known as Riko Cage.
Official documents show that Cage and Riko applied for their wedding license on January 10 – the day of Riko’s 26th birthday – and that it is her first marriage.
Cage announced their engagement in an interview with his brother Marc Coppola’s radio show in August of 2021.
He said at the time: ‘She left New York and went back to Kyoto, Japan, and I went back to Nevada and I haven’t seen her for 6 months.’
‘We’re really happy together and we’re really excited to spend that time together so I finally just said “Look, I wanna marry you,” and we got engaged on FaceTime.’
‘I got her a black diamond engagement ring.’
‘Her favorite color is black so she wanted the black gold, and the black diamond.’
‘I customized and personalized it and I actually sent it to her FedEx.’

They married in 2021 when he was 57 and she was 26. She is his fifth wife and they share daughter August Francesca, two.
Earlier this year Cage discussed his relationship with his three children, whom he shares with three different women.
‘They’re all different experiences. Each one has a different mother,’ he told The New Yorker in an interview.
‘It’s not what I had originally thought would happen when I fell in love or got married — that I would have three different children with three different moms — but nonetheless that’s what’s happened,’ he went on.
‘Every child is different. There’s a different kind of level of attention,’ he said.
