Bradley Cooper brought the cutest date to the IF movie premiere — his daughter, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper!

A day after attending the fourth night of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour stop in Paris with girlfriend Gigi Hadid, Cooper, 49, stepped out at the premiere of the John Krasinski-written and directed film with the adorable 7-year-old.

While her father opted to dress casually in black slacks and a matching pullover sweater, Lea attended the event wearing Pink Chicken’s Courtney Dress in Desert Stripe and sparkly blue shoes.

As she walked the red carpet carrying a Build-A-Bear version of Blue and holding her father's hand, she excitedly pointed out his character, Ice, on one of the posters, making him smile.

Cooper is part of a star-studded cast that includes  Ryan Reynolds, Steve Carell, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Maya Rudolph, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr., Jon Stewart and Sam Rockwell.

"What if everything you believed as a kid was real? From the imagination of John Krasinski, enter a world you have to believe to see,” the movie’s tagline reads under its teaser trailer.

It's no surprise that Cooper's daughter attended, as she previously walked the red carpet with him at the Maestro premiere in December, wearing a Dolce & Gabbana leopard-print chiffon dress.

Bradley Cooper Says Having Daughter Lea Saved Him: 'Not Sure I'd Be Alive If I Wasn't a Dad'

His daughter's fun outfit was accessorized with a red purse and sparking gold flats. Back in  June 2022, Cooper opened up about how fatherhood has changed his perspective on life.

"Fatherhood is … everything changed," he said on the SmartLess podcast. "Every single thing is absolutely shaded by, or brought into glorious colors, by the fact that I get to be a father to a wonderful human being."

Cooper shares Lea with ex Irina Shayk, who shared in an essay written for Harper's Bazaar in April 2023 that she and Cooper strive to teach Lea the importance of being kind.

"We're teaching our daughter that the most important thing is to be kind to people. Every time we send her to school, we're like, 'Just remember kindness and love,'" wrote Shayk, 38.
