Valerie Bertinelli had a classy date with her favorite guy – and his wife – on Sunday night!
The Golden Globe winner, 63, hit the red carpet at the 96th Academy Awards in Los Angeles with her son Wolfgang Van Halen and his wife Andrea Allsop. The trio beamed as they coordinated in timeless black and white looks.
Bertinelli wore an ivory power suit, teamed with metallic accessories and puffs – there wasn’t a gray hair in sight. (The star is known to be candid with fans about her appearance and hair color maintenance, recently sharing a video on social media joking that she’s “tired” of getting her roots done.)
Van Halen, 32, wore an all-black suit to match his wife’s long-sleeved dress. He is Bertinelli’s only son with the late Van Halen frontman Eddie Van Halen. The musician now performs as the frontman of Mammoth WVH, a one-man rock band he founded in 2020.

Bertinelli and newlywed Van Halen – who married Allsop on October 15, 2023 – have a close relationship, with the actress calling her son “the joy of her life”.
“Aside from the fact that he’s incredibly talented, I’m most proud of his kindness and thoughtfulness,” the Food Network star told PEOPLE during a joint interview with Van Halen published on June 10, 2021. “I think we both like to find humor in the absurd. This world is a seriously crazy place and it’s easier to get through if you find it funny and absurd. Sometimes laughing is better than crying.”
Bertinelli was honest about loving her body in every shape and dressing accordingly. In October, she posted a photo of herself in old clothes on Instagram and wrote: “Health is not body size. Health is not the number you see on the scale. Your worth as a human being is not dictated by your body.”
“I thought I was fat the last time I wore this outfit,” she said. I have never felt more beautiful, calmer, mentally and emotionally stable than today and I am wearing my ‘fat clothes’. That’s fucked up.”
The 96th Academy Awards will air live on ABC from the Dolby Theater on Sunday, March 10, at 7:00 PM ET.
