It was a wickedly good night for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in New York City on Tuesday, December 3, as they attended a special screening of Wicked Part 1.

Blake, 37, and Ryan, 48, stepped out in their casual finest for the event, organized by Universal Pictures at the Metrograph theater in the Lower East Side.

The couple were pictured sweetly holding onto each other and making sure the other was okay by being very hands-on. Blake opted to style herself in a white suit jacket with a white button down featuring floral appliqués (possibly a nod to It Ends With Us) and straight leg jeans.

She also included a cute nod to the movie itself with her shoes, wearing glistening ruby red heels, a callback to the ruby red slippers from the Wizard of Oz lore.

Ryan, meanwhile, kept things monochromatic, opting for a warm corduroy jacket and pants with suede shoes, all in shades of brown, finishing off with a white tee underneath and a gold chain.

The couple later posed for photos on the carpet with the movie's lead stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, with the former opting for all black while the latter wore a floor-length brown trench coat with black floral trims.

Blake and Ryan were very affectionate for their latest public date night

Wicked has already become a major box office success and a favorite among celebrities. The film has already grossed nearly $400 million worldwide in just under two weeks of release and has received critical acclaim, most recently being named the year's Best Film by the National Board of Review.

Ryan and Blake have each had box office success as well this year, with the former's Deadpool & Wolverine remaining this year's second highest grossing film (behind Inside Out 2) and the latter's It Ends With Us ending up as a surprise commercial hit, with the husband-wife duo at one point placing first and second at the box office over the same weekend.

"Tam Tam is 80!!! Wishing my mom the happiest birthday," he penned. "I still remember the first time I saw her. I was sitting in the backyard one night, holding a flashlight and dozing off. Suddenly she just came waddling out of the shed. It scared the [expletive] out of me."
