The couple smiled for the cameras and posed with the filmmakers, marking their first public appearance since the trial's conclusion.
Alec Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, enjoyed a glamorous night out in the Hamptons on July 20, 2023, following the dismissal of his involuntary manslaughter case in the "Rust" film shooting.

The event marked the couple's first red carpet appearance since the dismissal of Alec Baldwin's trial in the "Rust" shooting. In 2021, Baldwin accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza on the set of the Western film.
Last Friday, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case with prejudice after ruling that the prosecution concealed evidence from Baldwin's legal team. The "with prejudice" addition means the same charge cannot be brought against Baldwin again.

Baldwin expressed his gratitude and joy on social media after the ruling. "To all of you, you will never know how much I appreciate your kindness toward my family," the 66-year-old wrote.
Following the dismissal, Baldwin and his legal team were reportedly seen celebrating at a nearby hotel bar in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The joyous scene was captured by a camera crew believed to be part of a documentary being produced by filmmaker Rory Kennedy.
