(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez finally confirmed they are dating by attending the Vanity Fair Oscar party together last night.

The pair are believed to have been in a relationship since November last year, but have done their best to keep a low-profile. Despite previously insisting they are just friends, Justin and Selena have made their first public appearance at a red carpet event together in Los Angeles.

The pair looked lovingly into each others eyes and Justin had his arm around Selenas waist as they posed for photographs. Later in the evening, they were seen holding hands at the star-studded Vanity Fair bash at Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood.

The young stars even seemed to have co-ordinated their outfits, with Selena wearing a stunning red floor-length Grecian style Dolce & Gabbana dress accessorised with a Judith Leiber handbag and Brian Atwood high heels. Justin looked dapper in a black suit by Dolce & Gabbana with black bowtie and red handkerchief.

The 16-year-old teenage heartthrob has remained coy about his blossoming romance with Selena. Justin has been quizzed on several occasions about his feelings for the singer-and-actress and couldnt help gushing about her recently.

I think anyone would be lucky to date her. Shes a great person, he said. I like girls with nice, pretty eyes and a nice smile. I like girls that are funny because I like to laugh and joke around.

Justins fans havent taken kindly to the romance rumours and Selena even received death threats after they were reportedly spotted kissing. However, the 18-year-old beauty has laughed off the attention surrounding their relationship.

I think its awesome people are interested I dont understand why, she said recently. (C) Cover Media
