Having kicked off the latest series of Saturday Night Live last night, rapper/producer Jay-Z and his new best buddy, host Ryan Gosling, invited their leadings ladies on a night out to celebrate their successful show and, yes, it was every bit as beautiful of a union as you'd imagine it to be.
A crew of A-listers such as Scarlett Johansson, Alicia Keys and Dakota Johnson joined the foursome at an after party at TAO in New York City, where Gosling and Mendes were spotted together - a rarity in their books - holding hands as they walked into the venue.
The mother-of-two wore a patterned Studio 54-inspired jumpsuit for the outing while her beau kept things casual in a denim jacket.
Minutes later, new father Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé joined the group, with Beyoncé showing off her sleek blonde hair do.
Last night, the La La Land actor starred as a the host of the 43rd season premiere of SNL during his opening monologue told the audience he was thrilled to be there and that 'I haven't been this excited since I saved jazz', alluding to his Golden Globe winning role as struggling musician Sebastian.
During the evening, Oscar-winning co-star and BFF Emma Stone came out and surprised the crowd, pointing out that 'we saved jazz', before the likes of Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon treated the audience to a political sketch making light of President Trump on Twitter.
Later on in the evening, Jay performed several songs off his latest album 4:44, much to the delight of Gosling and his fans.
Oh to be the jam in between that sweet sweet sandwich of celebrities, right?
