The two stars, who have been dating since late 2022, coordinated in glamorous black outfits.

Cher, born Cherilyn Sarkisian, wore a snug-fitting gown with sheer panel details.

She added a plush fur coat to the ensemble, which she teamed with stone-covered platform heels.

The If I Could Turn Back Time singer wore sparkly fingerless gloves, showing off a long French manicure with silver tips.

Her long and glossy jet black hair was arranged in a center part and cascading spirals that spilled down her back and over her chest.

She flaunted a full face of makeup, looking radiant with pink-toned blush and a matching glossy lip color.

The longtime entertainer also wore a silver-toned nose ring for the splashy occasion.

For his part, Edwards looked great in a classic suit paired with a crisp, white button-up shirt.

He added matte black dress shoes and accessorized with eye-catching jewelry including earrings and rings.

When he smiled, he flashed a diamond-encrusted grill and his bleached hair was neatly cut.

Alexander, who shares four-year-old son Slash with ex-girlfriend Amber Rose, also showed a black manicure with colorful designs.

Earlier this month Cher cheekily quipped that she prefers to have younger boyfriends because all of the men in her age group have died.

While appearing on the Jennifer Hudson Show, she said she would rather date men from later generations, who 'were raised by women like me' and as a result were never scared of her.

Cher has a long had a reputation for dating younger men — she was involved with actor Rob Camilletti in 1986 when she was 40 and he was 22. 

She and Alexander met at Paris Fashion Week in September 2022, and they went public with their romance that November.
