Stealing the show: Bruce Willis is outshined by wife Emma Heming as she shows off her endless legs in midnight blue minidress at Freeing Voices benefit gala
|
He's a bona fide member of the Hollywood elite, and no doubt used to turning heads no matter where he goes.
But Bruce Willis was well and truly outshined by his stunning wife Emma Heming as they stepped out in New York City on Monday evening.
The 58-year-old actor positively faded into the background with the 34-year-old model ensuring all eyes were on her as the couple headed to the seventh Annual 'Freeing Voices, Changing Lives' Benefit Gala at the Tribeca Rooftop.

Parading her seemingly endless legs in a tailored midnight blue minidress, the British beauty certainly commanded attention as she accompanied her A-list husband to the red carpet function.
Showing off her toned and tanned pins in all their glory, Emma teamed her 60s-inspired shift dress with a simple cream clutch bag, while adding height to her already statuesque frame with a pair of nude strappy sandals.
The actress wore her long brunette locks blow-dried into tumbling Kate Middleton-style curls, while accentuating her stunning features with natural dewy make-up.

Evidently content with taking a backseat to his showstopping wife, the Die Hard actor kept things casual in a simple black shirt and tailored trousers.
Sprucing his look up a little, the star later threw on a smart jacket as the couple posed alongside Emily Blunt, Samuel L. Jackson, Arthur M. Blank and John Krasinski on the red carpet at the benefit gala.
The event, hosted by the American Institute for Stuttering, would have no doubt been a cause that was close to Bruce's heart, with the actor admitting he previously struggled with a speech impediment so debilitating that he saw himself as 'disabled'.

But he admitting acting had a 'miraculous' effect on him, and cured his stammer.
He told the March issue of GQ: 'I had a terrible stutter. I did some theatre somewhere, probably in high school. And when I memorised words, I didn't stutter, which was just miraculous.
'That was the beginning of the gradual dispelling of my stutter. I thought I was handicapped. I couldn't talk at all. I still stutter around some people now.'

Showbiz pals: Both Bruce and British actress Emily, 30, have openly spoken about suffering from debilitating stutters in the past
British actress Emily, 30, who proudly posed alongside Bruce at the event, has openly spoken about her speech impediment as a child.
She previously said: 'Between the age of 7 and 14 was when it was really bad. And around 12 it was at its worst. Not an awkward age at all to be unable to speak.'
Bruce has a one-year-old daughter, Mabel Ray, with Emma, as well as daughters, Rumer, 24, Scout, 22, and Tallulah, 19, with ex-wife Demi Moore.
Colour co-ordinated: Hollywood megastars Bruce and Samuel both looked dapper in their dark suits, while Emily opted for a fairytale princess strapless gown in midnight blue
