America Ferrera, known for her iconic red carpet looks, recently stunned at the 2024 SAG Awards in a custom black silk and wool Dior Haute Couture dress with white organza sleeves. The actress shared her glamorous ensemble on Instagram, where she also showcased the support of her husband, Ryan Piers Williams, during the event.

Ferrera playfully recounted moments with her husband at the awards show, including a humorous exchange where he refused to kiss her in a photo. Despite the initial disappointment, the couple shared lighthearted selfies, capturing their playful dynamic.

At the Producers Guild Awards, Ferrera donned a black pearl-embroidered silk Patou gown, complemented by a chic tied-back hairstyle and a Jennifer Behr satin bow barrette. Her husband, Williams, has been a constant presence by her side throughout the awards season, even making a surprise appearance as her on-screen husband in the film 'Barbie'.

The couple's collaboration in 'Barbie' stemmed from a casual conversation during a Zoom call with the film's director, Greta Gerwig. Ferrera shared her admiration for a scene involving a father character doing Spanish lessons, coincidentally while her husband was studying Spanish in another room. This led to Williams landing the role of Ferrera's on-screen husband, creating a delightful family connection within the film.

Ferrera expressed her joy at having her husband join her on set, turning the filming experience into a memorable family affair. Their on-screen chemistry added an extra layer of authenticity to their roles, enhancing the overall production.

As Ferrera continues to make waves in the entertainment industry, her partnership with Williams both on and off-screen serves as a testament to their unwavering support for each other's endeavors. Their shared moments at prestigious events like the SAG Awards and the Producers Guild Awards highlight their strong bond and mutual admiration, making them a beloved couple in the public eye.
