Pierce, 71, known to millions around the world as one of the most iconic James Bonds in film history, looked effortlessly suave in a tailored cobalt blue suit. He paired the striking ensemble with a crisp white shirt and a sleek silver tie, his silver-white hair slicked back in classic Hollywood style.

But while the former GoldenEye star brought his usual charm and polish, it was his radiant wife Keely who turned heads.

The 61-year-old journalist and philanthropist stunned in a black lace mini dress that showed off her incredible figure. 

The thigh-grazing frock, featuring elegant three-quarter-length sleeves, highlighted Keely’s toned legs and her recent transformation.

She completed the look with a pair of black peep-toe heels and wore her brunette hair down in soft waves, teased gently into a flattering pompadour that framed her face perfectly.

The red carpet appearance was another reminder of the couple’s enduring love story — a relationship built on admiration, mutual respect and, above all, deep friendship.

The pair tied the knot on August 4, 2001, in a stunning ceremony in Ballintubber Abbey in Ireland. More than two decades later, they remain as devoted as ever.

Pierce opened up about the secret behind their lasting bond. “We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot,” he told Fox News. 

“Watching someone grow up with you and grow old with you is a very spiritual journey. To watch each other change... whatever it may be, the hair, the waist. But it’s the love in the heart.”

That love was clear to see as they posed for photos, laughing and exchanging warm glances, each seemingly more proud of the other than themselves. 

The couple share two sons together — Dylan, 28, and Paris, 24 — both of whom have inherited their parents' striking good looks and creative spirits.

1. He once turned down Bond

Pierce originally rejected the iconic 007 role due to a scheduling conflict with drama Remington Steele.

2. Artistic skills 

Before acting, he studied commercial illustration and still paints today, recently holding a solo exhibition.

3. Mamma Mia

When Pierce signed up for Mamma Mia, he reportedly had no idea of the plotline. 

4. $100 million Malibu mansion

Pierce lives in a luxurious Malibu estate with his family, splitting time between California and Hawaii.

5. Legal fine 

In 2023, he was fined $500 after illegally entering a restricted area in Yellowstone National Park.

He adopted Cassandra’s children, Charlotte and Christopher, after their father passed away in 1986, and together, Pierce and Cassandra welcomed their son Sean in 1983. Tragically, Charlotte passed away from ovarian cancer in 2013 at the age of 41, a loss that Pierce has spoken about with great tenderness.

I never hide in baggy clothing.” Her husband was quick to offer his support, adding, “I love my wife’s curves. She’s stunning.”
