The red carpet was rolled out on both sides of the States this week as two of Hollywood's long-established male big guns, Richard Gere and Samuel L Jackson stepped out to present their latest silver screen offerings.
In the Big Apple, Richard, 57, was on usual dapper form as he joined co-star James Brolin at the premiere of The Hunting Party. The action drama tells the tale of a discredited journalist - portrayed by the Pretty Woman star - on the hunt for Bosnia's most wanted criminal.
Meanwhile in LA, Pulp Fiction actor Samuel took a slightly more casual approach as he attended the debut of his new film Resurrecting The Champ, arriving wearing jeans and a hoodie, with wife LaTanya. His co-star, Desperate Housewife Teri Hatcher - who has just been unveiled as the new face for American fashion label Badgley Mischka - went for something a little more formal, however, with a shimmering one-shoulder gown.
Resurrecting The Champ tells the tale of a sports reporter who rescues a homeless person (Samuel) only to discover that the man is, in fact, a boxing legend believed to have died many years previously.
