Keely exuded elegance in a little black dress styled with a black blazer, a statement pearl necklace and chic ballet pumps.
Meanwhile, Pierce looked youthful in a blue linen suit and fashionable sunglasses. The actor currently stars as Conrad Harrigan in MobLand.

Keely previously told People that she was immediately captivated when she met the Bond actor, recalling the “mischievous sparkle” in his eyes.
In the same interview, Pierce spoke warmly about his wife, saying: “I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.”
Last year, Pierce said Keely still makes his “world turn” during an interview with Fox News, explaining: “She still makes my heart sing and she still makes my world turn.
“She allows me to go out into the world and create what I do as an actor, and that takes strength and stamina. We just enjoy each other’s company.”
In January, fans came to Keely’s defense after a cruel troll posted side-by-side comparison images of her as an alleged “reminder to avoid marriage.”
