This red carpet appearance marked the couple's return to the spotlight following the resolution of the legal charges against Baldwin. Previously involved in a tragic accident resulting in the accidental shooting and death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuries to director Joel Souza on the set of the film Rust, Baldwin has since been cleared of all charges and moving on to work on his next project. However, an investigation into the incident is still ongoing.

At the gala, the 'Glengarry Glen Ross' star styled his salt and pepper hair slicked back, exuding confidence and poise. Hilaria complemented her ensemble with a chic bun, elegantly pinning back her brunette tresses. Her accessories included sparkling earrings, a gold bangle, and several rings, adding a touch of glamour to her overall look. Opting for a delicate makeup palette, she wore nude matte lipstick and a hint of blush, emphasizing her natural beauty.

During the event, Baldwin and Hilaria showed their support for Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi, who is currently serving an eight-year sentence on alleged national security offenses. Holding signs with powerful messages, Hilaria's sign read, "Free Narges and all Iranian political prisoners," while Baldwin's sign stated, "Narges stands for peace." The couple's commitment to advocating for justice and freedom was evident throughout the evening. Baldwin further demonstrated his solidarity by sharing an Instagram image with Narges' husband, Tahgi Rahmani, who accepted the PEN/Barbey Freedom to Write Award on her behalf.

In his Instagram caption, Baldwin wrote, "'Unbelievable courage on both of their parts." Among the notable guests at the gala were CEO of PEN America, Suzanne Nossel, who graced the event in a strapless green dress, and actress Candice Bergen, who radiated elegance at 77. Lorne Michaels, the esteemed producer of Saturday Night Live, received this year's Audible Literary Service Award and was supported by many of his SNL stars, including Colin Jost, who served as the event's host. The gala encompassed a cocktail reception, dinner, awards ceremony, and concluded with dessert and an afterparty. The proceeds from the event contribute to PEN America's cultural programming and advocacy efforts, reinforcing the importance of defending free expression.
