Take the arm of someone

New York, March 8 (ANI): Madonna reportedly took the arm of handsome "The City" star Adam Senn while attending the Oscar-party rounds in LA.
The Queen of Pop arrived with her fellow Dolce and Gabanna model at Soho House after recent reports claimed an argument between her and her toyboy lover Jesus Luz.
"Madonna brought Jesus to the Oscar parties last year, but she wants to do it her way this year," the New York Post quoted a source as saying.
"She and Adam got on well while shooting for D and G, and she's smart enough to know that being seen together would generate more buzz for the campaign," the source added. (ANI)

Could you please explain to me the emboldened parts?

Though I guess it means "she was holding the handsome boy's arm"?

Yes, you are correct. However in addition to the literal meaning of holding his arm, it can also have a more figurative meaning to simply mean he accompanied her. He was her companion for the evening.
