Christy Turlington and Edward Burns were completely smitten as they arrived at the 18th Annual Museum of Modern Art Film Benefit presented by Chanel on Thursday night.

The couple, who celebrated their 23rd anniversary in June, looked more in love than ever as they cozied up for photos on the red carpet. 

Turlington, 57, who sported natural gray hair in previous snaps shared to social media, donned a red-and-black dress with a leopard-print overlay by Chanel creative director Matthieu Blazy.

She paired the creation with dangling statement earrings and black-and-white pumps, and wore her glossy brunette hair in a glamorous updo.

Burns, 58, matched her look in a classic dark suit while sporting a short, salt-and-pepper beard and sleek hairstyle.

The star-studded gala honored director and producer Steven Spielberg for his decades-long contribution to film.

Others who attended included Tom Cruise, who made a surprise opening appearance, along with Martin Scorsese, Emily Blunt and Steve Martin who all gave speeches in tribute to the Hollywood filmmaker.

Ariana DeBose, who played Anita in Spielberg’s 2021 film remake of West Side Story, performed Somewhere.

Bruce Springsteen gave a surprise closing live performance after being introduced by Stephen Colbert.

Turlington, meanwhile, recently spoke about how rare it is for her and her husband to get out.

'This is a rare one,' the supermodel told People in May at the Broadway opening night of Celebrity Autobiography with Burns. 'These days, we've been very busy and traveling a lot, so this is our first kind of coming out after our daughter's graduation, so — it's a fun night.'

Turlington and The Brothers McMullen star wed in 2003, in a Roman Catholic ceremony in San Francisco after dating for roughly three years. They have two children, Grace, 23, and Finn, 20.

Just days before the Broadway show, the Every Mother Counts activist celebrated her daughter's college graduation with a loving post on Instagram.

'What a week - and what a milestone,' she wrote on May 14. 'As a mother and as a parent, this moment feels profound. So many hopes and dreams for my firstborn are unfolding far sooner than I ever imagined.'

She continued: 'There's a saying: educate a girl and you educate a nation. That's a powerful responsibility - but if anyone is ready to carry it, it's my daughter, alongside her friends and classmates who are already becoming the change they want to see in the world.'

In September 2024, Burns spoke about the pair being left with an empty nest now that both of their children have moved out, and even though he is pleased for them, he has found the whole thing to be a 'bittersweet' time.

'It's funny, Christy and I were laughing that we both made sure that we were each incredibly busy this fall, so we haven’t had to really face it. It's been bittersweet,' he told Fox News Digital.

'Obviously, we're so happy that the kids are happy and off starting their journey and loving their college experiences. But you can't help but miss them like crazy.'

Last year, Burns told Fox News Digital the secret to the couple's enduring marriage is their 'two-week rule.'

'My wife and I, very early on, had an agreement, because our respective jobs do require a bit of travel,' he said.

'We had a two-week rule where neither one of us was allowed to be gone for more than two weeks at a time.

'And a lot of times, we had to look at our calendars and sometimes say no to a particular job that would require travel that might have us gone for a longer period of time.'

Turlington is one of the original supermodels of the 1980s and 1990s but she and Burns didn't connect until they were introduced at a charity benefit in 2000

Burns previously revealed the secret to their enduring marriage, saying: 'We had a two-week rule where neither one of us was allowed to be gone for more than two weeks at a time'

He added: 'Now that we're empty nesters, we don't have to stick to that in the same way. But we still try not to do jobs that will have us away from one another for too long.'

Burns' promotional tour for his debut novel A Kid From Marlboro Road kept him traveling in 2024, from early September to early December, but clearly Turlington understood. 

They did meet for overlapping events including the Toronto International Film Festival, as noted by People at the time.

Burns' semi-autobiographical novel told the ups and downs of an Irish-American family living in New York in the 1970s as told by a boy in his early teens.'

'I had never really thought about writing a novel, other than maybe when I was a senior in high school. I had a great creative writing teacher. She read a short story of mine, and she's the one who encouraged me to be a writer. She said, "That's what you should study in school." But when I got to school, I started studying film. I fell in love with filmmaking and screenplays.

'For 30-plus years, I have been thinking about writing a story like this one. I thought the story I was going to write was about the last generation of latchkey kids.'
