The duo stepped out in Beverly Hills, Calif., where they were photographed on the way to their meal.

The Modern Family alum stunned in a body-hugging black lace corset, purple pants, black heels and a red bag. The star glowed in a full face of makeup and had her long brown locks straightened for the big night. Meanwhile, the doctor wore blue jeans and a navy button down.
