Nikki Reed and her husband, Ian Somerhalder, comprise one Hollywood power couple that couldn’t be cuter. The two are incredibly affectionate with each other and are equally vocal when it comes to their advocacies. When Ian decided to put together his foundation, Nikki showed her support 100 percent.

In December 2016, the Twilight actress was photographed at the first Ian Somerhalder Foundation benefit gala in Chicago.“

The Ian Somerhalder Foundation works to empower, educate, and collaborate with people and projects to positively impact the planet and its creatures,” the foundation’s mission statement reads.

Nikki wore a dark but sweet look in a black ruffled “Coco” dress by Ulla Johnson. We would have preferred something more youthful and fresh on Nikki, but we don’t hate this look. We suppose it’s appropriate for winter weather.

The Ian Somerhalder Foundation emphasizes animal protection, youth education, and environmental protection. Nikki followed up on the event with a long, heartfelt post to the people who made the foundation a reality, including Graziela Gems and supermodel Karolina Kurkova.

Ian also thanked his better half for “experiencing so much love” during their first charity gala. Awe. Major couple goals.
