Annette Bening, 61, makes a rare appearance with husband Warren Beatty, 82, in LA after being honoured at the AARP awards

She was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards earlier this week.

And Annette Bening and her husband of nearly 28 years Warren Beatty made a rare appearance together as they attended a book event for Summing Up: A Professional Memoir by Bert Fields at Spago in Beverly Hills, LA, on Monday night.

The American Beauty star, 61, appeared in good spirits as she joined the Bonnie and Clyde actor, 82, for the intimate gathering.

Annette looked chic in an all-black ensemble of fitted trousers with a matching blazer and thick scarf.

The Captain Marvel star teamed the items of clothing with a pair of thin brown glasses and gold hoops, styling her cropped blonde locks into a sweptback hairdo.

While Warren looked dapper in a pair of black jeans with a grey high-neck jumper, cropped leather jacket and platform trainers.

The duo appeared in good spirits as they attended the vent later getting into their car and driving home while waving to fans.

Their appearance comes after Annette got emotional during her speech following her Lifetime Achievement Award at the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards earlier this week.  

The star thanked a rolodex of A-listers throughout her speech but when the actress got to her husband of 28 years, the American Beauty actress choked up as she let out a simple, 'I love you.' 

Annette and Warren fell in love on the set of Bugsy in 1990, where, upon inviting her to his house after dinner one night, Beatty famously asked his co-star, 'Do you want to have a baby with me?'

The line worked, as they now share four children together - Stephen, 28, Benjamin, 25, Isabel, 23, and Ella, 19.

Talking about their long romance, the four-time Oscar nominee mused to Us Weekly back in April, 'There is no secret as anyone who’s been married knows.'

'We have an incredible family, we have beautiful children,' she continued. 'We’ve been through a lot. It’s the centre of life. It’s the most important thing. It’s everything.'

'I waited a long time to be married,' Warren told AARP The Magazine in 2016.

'When you don’t get married until you're 54... well, as Arthur Miller said, "It comes with the territory." I always knew I wanted to have children. I wanted to do it well, and I wanted to do it with someone who felt the same way.'

While her husband's appearances on the big screen have been scarce in his golden years, Bening was nominated this year for a Golden Globe for her role as California Sen. Dianne Feinstein in Amazon's drama The Report.

It is about the Intelligence Committe's investigation into the use of torture at Guantanamo Bay.

The AARP's Movies for Grownups, now in its 19th year, advocates for the 50-plus audience by fighting ageism in the entertainment industry and encouraging films that resonate with older viewers, according to its website.

The pre-recorded ceremony will air on PBS on January 19.
