Stepping out onto the red carpet, Tom, 61, and his wife, Rita Wilson, 61, smiled widely as they wrapped their arms around each other.

Rita oozed sophistication in a pretty floral print dress with a low-cut neckline, belted waist, and matching bold red high heels. 

The It's Complicated actress swept her sun-kissed tresses back into a low bun with a few loose wavy tendrils framing her flawlessly made-up complexion.

She accessorized the chic look with an array of jewelry, including a delicate silver necklace, white bracelet, and deep red coat of nail polish.

Tom, meanwhile, cut a dapper figure in his sharp two-piece suit that teamed together smart trousers, with a fitted blazer and checkered tie.

His partner Kate opted for a glamorous all-black ensemble that teamed together a shift dress, with cut-out detailing at the sleeves, and lace tights. 

She and Spielberg married in 1991 after meeting while working on the action film Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, which starred Kate and was directed by Steven.

Together they raised seven children, including two - Jessica Capshaw, 41, and Max Spielberg, 32 - from previous relationships and two - Theo Spielberg, 29, and Mikaela Spielberg, 21 - brought into the family via adoption.

Their three biological children together are Sasha Spielberg, 27, Sawyer Spielberg, 25, and Destry, 21.

Tom stars opposite Meryl Streep in the Steven Spielberg directed film The Post, which is about the first female publisher of a major American newspaper, Kay Graham of The Washington Post (played by Meryl).

The high-profile film follows The Washington Post's race to secure and publish the classified Pentagon Papers in 1971, which exposed a government cover-up spanning decades.

The film has been nominated for numerous Golden Globes, including awards for Meryl, Tom, and Steven. However, it appeared to be snubbed by the SAG Awards and didn't feature in its list of nominations.

The Post is scheduled for release on January 12, 2018.
