elliot page and julia shiplett dazzle at milan fashion week
Elliot Page and his partner, Julia Shiplett, made a jaw-dropping entrance at Milan Fashion Week, catching everyone's attention with their red carpet debut. The glamorous occasion was all about Gucci's Spring Summer 2026 collection, and these two certainly didn't disappoint.
On September 23rd, Page rocked a sleek dark pinstripe suit paired with an open white shirt, highlighted by a symbolic red Artists4Ceasefire enamel pin. Shiplett was his perfect match in an elegant emerald shirt and skirt combo, complete with a chic black handbag. The couple, arm in arm, looked absolutely radiant and had everyone stopping in their tracks.
a night filled with stars
The event was a big deal, especially with Page supporting Gucci's newest short film, *The Tiger*. This film brought together a talented cast, including trans model Alex Consani, Demi Moore, Edward Norton, Keke Palmer, and Kendall Jenner. Directed by Spike Jonze and Halina Reijn, it turned out be a truly star-studded night highlighting an incredible artistic collaboration.
This was a significant moment, marking Page and Shiplett's first major public appearance as a couple. Just a few months back, Page had delighted fans by confirming their relationship on social media. In June, as Pride Month wrapped up, he posted a sweet Instagram photo with Shiplett standing on a vibrant rainbow crosswalk, emojis and all.
In a fun twist, Shiplett responded with a playful shirt-less video clip featuring Page on her Instagram Stories, humorously captioned with "Happy prideeee" and some cheeky emojis. These public displays mark Page's first romance since coming out as a trans man in December 2020, making these moments all incredibly special.
getting acquainted with julia shiplett: comedian, actress, and more
Julia Shiplett, Elliot Page's partner, isn't just known as a stand-up comedian and actress. She's left her mark in Prime Video's LGBTQ+ comedy series *Overcompensating*, HBO's *High Maintenance*, and *Ad World*. And if that wasn't enough, Shiplett has skills in copywriting and TV writing as a "creative comedy" force.
Reflecting on some career highlights, Shiplett shared her pride in a Zoom reading she did back in 2021. It was an episode she wrote and produced on Netflix's *Bling Empire*, celebrated as America's first reality series with an all East and Southeast Asian cast, a nod her mom's Hong Kong heritage.
Plus, her work on *Bling Empire* had a charitable side, too. As she put it, "We aimed at raising funds—our goal was $1,000, but ended up with nearly $10,000—for Chinatown mutual aid in both New York and Los Angeles. It was an unforgettable experience."
Looking forward, Shiplett has her eyes set on period dramas. In an interview with Vulture, she lightheartedly expressed her dream role, saying, "I'm serious: I want my little titties spilling out in a corset, candlelight flickering all over me on-screen."
"And I'm open about roles—be it a noble, a serb, even a town wench. I might not ace accents and have a bit vocal fry, but I'm optimistic." Her delightful and down-to-earth ambitions truly shine through.

Elliot Page and Julia Shiplett's appearance at Milan Fashion Week marks both a personal achievement and a celebration.
