Alec and Hilaria Baldwin made their first red carpet appearance together since the dismissal of Alec’s recent Rust court case.
On Saturday, July 20, the couple attended a screening of War Game at the Hamptons International Film Festival’s SummerDocs series in East Hampton, New York.
Alec, 66, wore a dark blue jacket, light blue shirt, gray pants, and brown shoes, while Hilaria, 40, donned a light pink fitted dress and cream stiletto heels.
This event marked their first red carpet appearance together since Alec’s involuntary manslaughter trial, related to the Rust shooting incident, was dismissed with prejudice on July 12.
Before attending the event, Alec expressed gratitude for the case’s dismissal in an Instagram post on July 13, thanking those who supported him and his family.
The Rust case was dismissed on its third day in Santa Fe’s 1st Judicial District Court of New Mexico after Alec’s defense attorneys argued that prosecutors had withheld evidence.
Alec, who faced up to 18 months in prison if found guilty, was emotional after Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer’s decision to dismiss the case. Alec had previously claimed he was unaware the gun contained live ammunition and that he did not pull the trigger during the rehearsal.
On July 12, Alec’s attorney, Luke Nikas, requested the case be dropped due to undisclosed evidence that could have explained how live ammunition ended up on set.
Nikas pointed to the actions of Troy Teske, who turned over ammunition he believed was connected to the case. The judge dismissed the case, citing the late discovery of evidence and its impact on the trial’s fairness.
Following the case’s dismissal, Alec and Hilaria did not celebrate but felt relieved, according to a source. They are now looking forward to spending the summer with their children.
Despite the criminal case’s dismissal, Alec still faces civil lawsuits, and the film Rust, completed in May 2023, has yet to receive a release date.
Alec and Hilaria will soon appear in a TLC reality TV series titled The Baldwins, featuring their seven children: Carmen Gabriela, 10, Rafael Thomas, 8, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 7, Romeo Alejandro David, 5, Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, 3, María Lucía Victoria, 3, and Ilaria Catalina Irena, 19 months. Alec also has a 28-year-old daughter, Ireland, with his ex-wife Kim Basinger.
