Tom Cruise was seen on a red carpet for the first time in eight months as he attended the 95th Annual Oscars Nominees Luncheon at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on Monday.
The Top Gun: Maverick star was there to support the 2022 blockbuster summer film that has received several Oscar nominations, including Best Picture.
The ex of Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes looked different at the splashy afternoon event as he wore his hair longer and had a deep summer tan.
It has been many months since the 60-year-old – who will reportedly attend King Charles’ coronation – posed on a red carpet; the last time was in June 2022 for a Top Gun: Maverick event in Seoul, South Korea.
Also at the event were Oscar nominees Jamie Lee Curtis, who was there for her film Everything Everywhere All At Once and Michelle Williams who is plugging The Fabelmans.

A handshake and a conversation: Cruise took time out to chat up Michelle Yeoh who is nominated for Everything Everywhere All At Once
Cruise was all cleaned up for the hob-knobbing event that sees some of the most powerful people in Hollywood break bread together.
Dressed to impress in a very fine suit, he beamed with pride as he shook hands with Top Gun producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
Tom looked happy to be at the event as he smiled at onlookers but there was something very different about his appearance.
Gone are the short locks and vanilla complexion. On Monday he looked as if he had just stepped off a beach in Hawaii.
Tom dressed in a nicely tailored navy blue striped three piece suit with the jacket buttoned only once.
The Days Of Thunder star added a crisp white dress shirt and lavender silk tie with purple accents in a diamond print.
The Mission: Impossible standout shoes were sleek black dress shoes that laced up and had dotted accents.
The Cocktail star was also seen having an intimate conversation with Michelle Yeoh.
Hey Yeoh: Yeoh looked elegant in a sparkly black suit that included a jacket with pockets and very wide-legged slacks. Her long black hair was worn down in soft barrel curls as she waved to fans
Glow for it: The film star absolutely glowed when posing on the carpet as she showed off diamond earrings that radiated while in front of the cameras
Yeoh looked elegant in a sparkly black suit that included a jacket with pockets and very wide-legged slacks.
The jacket had little hits of purple and lavender colored sequins on the lapels that added a little extra razzle dazzle.
Her long black hair was worn down in soft barrel curls as she waved to fans.
And she had on a bulky computer watch that looked like it could do fast IMDB checks.
The film star absolutely glowed when posing on the carpet as she showed off diamond earrings that radiated while in front of the cameras.
There were plenty of other A-list stars at the classy luncheon.
Always in fine form: Also at the event was Oscar nominees Jamie Lee Curtis, who was there for her film Everything Everywhere All At Once
Class act: The Hollywood star had on a pant suit in a very pale baby blue color; the jacket was nicely cinched at the waistline with an asymmetrical hem. Her slacks had a line down the front as if she was about to take on a board room. Curtis held onto a black clutch purse as she flashed a silver watch and matching rings, but she relied on pearls for her necklace and earrings
She got her hands on TC! Curtis went in for an embrace with Tom as they came face to face for a friendly hello
