The "Avengers: Endgame" world premiere is just the beginning when it comes to red carpet appearances for Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger.

The couple who announced their engagement in January made their debut at Monday's premiere of the new Marvel flick on the purple carpet set up at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

As the two posed for pictures, Pratt, who plays Peter Quill/Star-Lord in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" films and "Avengers: Infinity War," wrapped his arm around Schwarzenegger's waist and looked at her lovingly.

For the occasion, the actor and author donned ensembles that complemented each other. Schwarzenegger's gleaming one-shoulder Monique Lhuillier gown subtly matched Pratt's black Tom Ford suit, houndstooth tie and silk pocket square.

Schwarzenegger has been a vocal supporter of her fiancé's career. In February, on the day Pratt's "Lego Movie 2: The Second Part" was released, she praised his work ethic and talent.

"So incredibly proud of my amazing, talented and hardworking fiancé everyday, but especially today because his movie, THE LEGO MOVIE 2, IS FINALLY OUT!" she wrote in an Instagram post. "These special little characters... Emmet and Rex are voiced by my love, and he did such a great job!"

Pratt, 39, and Schwarzenegger, 29, had people guessing if they were an item when they picnicked in June 2018. The twosome had a church date in August and visited a winery with Pratt's brother the following month.

In March, Schwarzenegger shared with Entertainment Tonight that Pratt was not a passive groom-to-be.

“I mean, I feel like we're all really involved in wedding planning,” she told the outlet. “I think that for me my family is very involved. I'm very involved, (Chris is) very involved so it's a great combination of everything and just a really exciting and fun (time).”
