Tom Holland was not about to let Zendaya fly solo.
The "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" star, 30, was spotted in the crowd shortly after Rhea Seehorn won the Emmy for best lead actress in a drama series.
Holland and his longtime love clapped enthusiastically as they and the room, filled with television's best and brightest, gave Seehorn a standing ovation. Zendaya was nominated alongside Seehorn in the category but ultimately lost to the "Pluribus" actor.
Holland flew under the radar, skipping the carpet as Zendaya stole the show with her chic pixie cut and sparkling frock on the red carpet. Meanwhile, the actor donned a sleek, all-black look.

Earlier in the evening, the "Euphoria" star took the stage to present the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series, which went to Jean Smart for her portrayal of Deborah Vance in "Hacks."
Zendaya's longtime stylist Law Roach was also in attendance, posing for photographs in the moments before the starlet made her way onto the carpet. Roach held up the train of Zendaya's dress to avoid any missteps on the carpet.

Law Roach admits he lied about Zendaya, Tom Holland wedding
The image architect couldn't pass up an opportunity to stir the pot on the red carpet. Months after Roach made headlines at the Actor Awards in March for claiming that the "Odyssey" stars had already tied the knot, he confessed to Variety and CNN that he wasn't being completely honest.
"I actually lied," Roach told the outlets on the Emmy Awards red carpet. "She wasn't married. They actually haven't had an official ceremony yet. It's going to happen after the 'Dune' press tour."
It wasn't immediately clear whether Roach was being serious, and the red carpet interviewer expressed heavy skepticism, asking, "Are you messing with us?" Roach doubled down, though: "No. The wedding hasn't happened."
