Although Steenburgen didn’t wear the jacket on the red carpet, she still looked flawless in a belted, strapless dress featuring a slit up the side. She kept her hair classy with a simple blowout and added a pop of color with a small rainbow clutch.
Walking the carpet with her was her husband,Ted Danson, whom she married in 1995. Danson, 76, opted for a classic black tuxedo for his red carpet look but added a touch of flair with a black-and-white polka dot tie and pocket handkerchief.
