Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria Baldwin are starting to put the past more than two years of turmoil behind them.

Over the weekend, the couple made their first red carpet appearance together after the 30 Rock alum's involuntary manslaughter case came to an unexpected end on Friday, July 12.

The case's dismissal came after almost three years of legal back and forth, ever since in October 2021, the It's Complicated actor inadvertently killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza on the set of Rust after he shot what he believed to be a "cold" prop gun with no live rounds in it.

On Saturday, July 20, Alec and Hilaria stepped out in East Hampton for a HamptonsFilm SummerDocs screening of War Game, a forthcoming political thriller that follows "a bipartisan group of U.S. defense, intelligence, and elected policymakers spanning five presidential administrations participate in an unscripted role-play exercise in which they confront a political coup backed by rogue members of the U.S. military, in the wake of a contested presidential election," per IMDb.

For the momentous outing, Alec sported a blue button down shirt paired with gray trousers and a navy blazer, while Hilaria donned a fitted, pink maxi dress with off-white pumps.

Alec had previously broken his silence over the end to his case, which was dismissed by a New Mexico judge after prosecutors entered evidence that had not been previously recorded in the official case file, nor had they revealed their existence to Alec's defense team.

The case was subsequently dismissed with prejudice, meaning that a second case cannot be opened against Alec. The Rust set's armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is currently serving 18 months in prison after she was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
