Jennifer Aniston and her fiancé Justin Theroux were dressed perfectly in sync on Thursday night to attend the 2012 American Cinematheque Award Gala. The happy couple arrived at the event in matching black-and-white ensembles, Jennifer wore a long black and white Valentino dress teamed with a stunning white box clutch and silver diamante jewels. Justin donned a smart black tuxedo with a white shirt and black bow tie.
The 43-year-old actress helped honour her Along Came Polly co-star Ben Stiller, who received the gala's big award, which is presented annually to "an extraordinary artist currently making a significant contribution to the art of the Moving Picture. "Jennifer presented a video package of Ben Stiller's onscreen romances. "His package is surprisingly large," she joked. "Very expansive, and its lasting power speaks for itself. "Hollywood stars Will Ferrell and Jack Black also shared their favorite stories about working with the comedy actor and Tom Cruise, who is currently in London filming his new movie, appeared in a surprise video speech and thanked Ben for the opportunity to cameo in Tropic Thunder. Before the show, the honouree joked about his award: "I'm dreading it! It's going to be horrific, I'm sure. But it should be, hopefully, fun horrific. It's really nice to be asked to be honoured like this. It's kind of bizarre. I feel grateful but also unworthy of the whole thing."
Ben was joined by his wife Christine Taylor who looked elegantly chic in a bright red number as she posed with her award-winning husband and close friends Jennifer and Justin.During the gala, the Friends star was seen showing off her huge emerald-cut diamond engagement ring. The couple had been dating for over a year when the screenwriter popped the question on his 41st birthday during the summer. "Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage," his spokesperson told People magazine in August. Since meeting Justin, Jennifer has consistently spoken of how content her partner makes her, saying she was in a "joyful and peaceful" place.The couple' stylish appearance comes after they were seen shopping for furniture and a new car. At the end of October, the couple headed to high end stores Adesso Lighting and Blackman Cruz to pick up some things for their Bel Air mansion. And earlier this week the Wanderlust stars took a $100,000 Porsche for a ride on the streets near their home.
