Evan Peters’ very first red carpet photos will make you laugh then say, “awww!”

If there’s one thing we love about American Horror Storyoh who are we kidding, we love EVERYTHING about AHS – it’s the cast. And one of the reoccurring cast members we love most, OF COURSE, is Evan Peters.

As one of the few regular cast members who has appeared in every season (along with superstars Sarah Paulson and Lily Rabe), Evan seems to only gets better with every reinvented season of AHS – although, coooome oooon, Season 6!? And, of course, we’ve also fallen in love with his turn as Quicksilver X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse.

But Evan’s red carpet apparence was still totally adorable.

“Stop everything and look at me!”

“I’m not sure what face to make…”

“Does this work?!”

Awww, loving every thing about you then and now, Evan!
