Well, in case there was ever any doubt, Nikki Reed's definitely got her boyfriend Ian Somerhalder's back.

E! News learns that the brunette beauty put on her stylist hat for the 2015 Golden Globes, and was the actual mastermind behind Somerhalder's red carpet look last night.

The Vampire Diaries star looked absolutely dapper and handsome (no shocker there) in a simple black and white Christian Dior suit, and he revealed that it was Nikki who chose his outfit for the big festivities.

"She told me what to wear, literally," he tells E! News. "She provided it."

A giggling Reed wanted to clarify her beau's statement, and added some more background to the story.

"He was really busy and sometimes a woman has to step up and just pull it together somehow," she explained. "So he's in this beautiful Dior suit." Regardless of how this all came about, well done, Nikki!

E! News also recently learned that the two lovebirds are partnering up on a new project together—they're starting a production company!

"Nikki and I are starting a production company and we're going to be able to tell even more stories that we really want to tell, everything from documentaries to TV shows to movies...all kinds of stuff," Somerhalder told us at the TCAs.

"Having the success of a television show like [Vampire Diaries] really allows you to be able...now I get to start spreading my creative wings as well."

He continued, "It's also learning about how all this stuff works so that when I do grow up, I know how to run my own show, I know how to do all these things, I'm on my own. Spreading my creative wings, I guess that's what it really comes down to."

And the handy-dandy smartphone will help Somerhalder achieve that.

"I want to tell great stories. And now with this thing [holding his iPhone], where I can talk to hundreds of millions of people, I don't mean that in a manipulative way, I mean that in all humility. I love....it's just given us such an amazing opportunity now to create and distribute stories."

"It's going to be awesome," the hunky Hollywood star added of the couple's production company. "Listen, it's about telling stories and it's about creating the content to tell those stories and whose going to distribute that content."
