Grace Van Patten and Jackson White were strictly business on the red carpet .
The couple and Tell Me Lies costars appeared together at the Hulu original series’ season 2 premiere looking cozy as ever. Van Patten, 27, and White, 28, posed together for photographers at the Wednesday, Sept. 4, premiere in Santa Monica, Calif., but restrained from showing any major PDA.
Van Patten opted for a simple, soft pink slip dress with black peep-toes. White, meanwhile, wore charcoal separates, a black undershirt and matching leather boots.
Based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Carola Lovering, Tell Me Lies became an instant hit when it premiered in September 2022. Emma Roberts serves as executive producer through her production company, Belletrist Productions.

Van Patten and White first met in 2022 while filming season 1 of the romantic drama, on which they play on-and-off partners Lucy and Stephen. They kept their relationship low key at first but in November 2022 they were spotted holding hands.
In August 2024, they confirmed their romance during an interview with ABC News. Days later, the couple stepped out for the 2024 US Open in Queens, N.Y., in stylish Ralph Lauren outfits.
Ahead of the show’s season 2 premiere in September 2024, Van Patten told PEOPLE that it was “trippy” to work with White on the show “because we are together in real life and he knows me better than anyone.”

White also shared that the break between filming seasons 1 and 2 was “super weird.”
“It was hard,” the actor recalled to PEOPLE. “It was like, we put these people away for a while, [so] taking them back out was a little hard, but really fun. We knew exactly how to do it.”
He continued, “The first couple days of it, I was sweating and nervous. I was like, ‘Oh, my God. There’s a camera here. I can’t do this.’ And then by the first week or two you’re like, ‘Oh, cool, this is fun.’ Then, you know how to say what he’s going to say. He’s just really serious and intense and it’s fun. It is fun.”
