Alec Baldwin and wife Hilaria made a glamorous pair while attending the Jazz At Lincoln Center Annual Gala in New York City on Wednesday.
The actor, 67, cut a dashing figure in a navy suit and a burgundy button-up, as he posed alongside his busty wife, 41, who wowed in a low-cut lilac gown.
The yoga instructor's plunging lace dress highlighted her ample cleavage and toned figure.
The mom-of-seven — who snapped at Alec during another recent red carpet appearance — paired the look with pointed to sparkly silver heels, and wore her raven tresses cascading down her back.
The couple appeared in good spirits despite the disastrous ratings of their reality TV show, The Baldwins, which has not yet been renewed for a second season, after it was blasted by critics as being a 'snoozy infomercial.'
Tonight's gala will honor the legendary Duke Ellington, with Dave Chappelle as the host. The gala features a concert, dinner, dancing, and a Dizzy's Club after-party.

Their outing comes after Alec was officially replaced as the executive producer and host of Match Game, after ABC canceled the game show in 2022 following the tragic shooting of his Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
The network announced Tuesday that Martin Short who - at 75 is eight years older than Alec - will be taking over the Match Game revival, which begins filming in Montreal this June and airs this summer on ABC/Hulu.
The Canadian comedian is the fifth host hired after Baldwin, Michael Burger, Ross Shafer, and Gene Rayburn on the $25K fill-in-the-blank panel game show that originally debuted in 1962 on NBC.
On Tuesday, Alec did not comment on Short's hiring, but he and Hilaria shared a dancing video.
The Baldwins' eight-episode reality series featuring their seven children concluded April 13, and TLC has not announced a second season renewal.
The Baldwins was blasted by critics as 'a self-pitying attempt at image rehabilitation' as well as an 'outright offensive response' to the real-life tragedy of Hutchins.
DailyMail.com's Christopher Stevens gave it one star out of five, writing: 'If this series is meant to make us feel sympathy, it has done the reverse. Last week, Alec Baldwin was just a has-been actor to me. Now I know exactly who he and his wife are. What hideous people.'
The Guardian's Lucy Mangan also gave the series one out of five stars, writing: 'The Baldwins is dreadful, and makes the couple look likewise.'

Alec's involuntary manslaughter trial was dismissed July 12 after he denied ever pulling the trigger on the revolver that fired a single bullet into Rust director Joel Souza's arm and punctured the Ukrainian DP's chest killing her, at age 42, in 2021.
On January 9, Alec filed a civil lawsuit against the Rust case prosecutors, investigators, and commissioners for defamation and malicious prosecution and civil rights violations due to 'intentionally mishandling evidence.'
Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has only six months remaining of her 18-month sentence in New Mexico Women's Correctional Facility due to the involuntary manslaughter conviction for her role in the shooting.
Baldwin produced and stars as aging outlaw character Harland Rust in the controversial western Rust, which premieres on digital and select US theaters this Friday.
All of the proceeds of the action-packed flick, set in 1880s Kansas, will go to Halyna's widower Matthew Hutchins (who received an executive producer credit) and their 12-year-old son Andros.
In February Alec and Hilaria talked about why they wanted to their reality show The Baldwins.
'It was an opportunity for us to actually speak. It was a really safe space,' Hilaria told People.
'And I think it was also very cathartic, almost like a diary, during a very unsure time of our life. That felt both terrifying and like it could get us through day by day,' she added.
'Telling your story is one thing, and showing your story is something else. It felt authentic, it felt human. It felt very empowering,' she said.
Hilaria and Alec married in 2012.
The longtime actor and his much younger yogi wife are parents to seven kids: Carmen, 11, Rafael, nine, Leonardo, eight, Romeo, six, Eduardo and Marilu, four, and Ilaria, two.
He is also father to daughter Ireland, 28, with ex-wife Kim Basinger.
