Rita Wilson looked effortlessly radiant as she stepped onto the red carpet at the 68th Grammy Awards, making it a family affair as she appeared alongside her granddaughter, Olivia Hanks.

At 69, Rita appeared positively ageless in a black, floor-length gown embellished with shimmering silver beadwork that radiated outward from the waist, creating a dramatic starburst effect.

The figure-hugging silhouette highlighted her toned frame, while her long blonde hair was worn loose in soft waves, framing her face and adding to her youthful glow. Minimal jewellery and a metallic cuff completed the elegant look, allowing the gown's intricate detailing to take centre stage.

Standing proudly beside her was Olivia Hanks, who made her own stylish statement in a sleek navy, one-shoulder gown with delicate silver strap detailing. The younger Hanks opted for understated glamour, wearing her hair pulled back with soft face-framing tendrils and natural makeup. Together, the pair struck a picture-perfect pose.
