Nine months after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards, he made his big return to the spotlight with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith for their first red carpet appearance together since the infamous event.

During the Los Angeles premiere of Smith’s new film "Emancipation" Wednesday, the pair were seen cozying up for the crowd, as their children, Jaden, Willow and Trey, joined to support their father.

"The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" alum rocked a three-piece maroon suit with a light pink collared shirt underneath, while his wife Jada stunned in an all-white high-low gown with ruffles and silver, jeweled embellishments.
