Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson twinned at the New York premiere of their film Asteroid City, showcasing their impeccable style in matching all-black pantsuits. The event took place at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall in Manhattan's Upper West Side on Tuesday.
Despite being married for over 35 years, the couple looked as happy and in love as ever. Rita shared their secret to a long-lasting marriage with CBS Mornings, saying: "We do have fun. You've gotta have fun!" It's clear that their strong bond and shared joy contribute to their enduring relationship.
For the premiere, Tom and Rita donned stylish outfits carefully curated by stylist Maryam Malakpour. Tom looked dapper in a single-breasted suit paired with dress shoes and opted for a tie-free look.
