Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake made a rare red carpet appearance together at the sixth annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on October 17, stepping out in coordinated black ensembles for the star-studded event.

The couple, who have been married for 14 years, posed together for photographers at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Biel wore a dramatic black feathered gown by designer Tamara Ralph, while Timberlake opted for a black patterned double-breasted suit. Their appearance offered a glimpse of the couple together at a major Hollywood event, as they generally keep their public outings relatively low-key.

The outing came just weeks after Biel and Timberlake celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary. The singer marked the occasion on social media with affectionate messages for his wife, calling her his “favorite person in every lifetime” and praising her as “the greatest mom”. In another post, he wrote, “14 down, forever to go.”

Biel also shared a tribute to her husband, writing, “Happy anniversary my love,” alongside photographs celebrating their relationship.

The pair first began dating in 2007 and married in October 2012. They share two sons, Silas and Phineas, and have occasionally offered fans glimpses of their family life through social media. Despite their high-profile careers, the couple tend to keep their children out of the public spotlight.

Biel is known for her acting roles in 7th Heaven, The Sinner and Candy. In addition to acting, she has worked as a producer on several projects, including the crime drama The Sinner, which earned her recognition for her work behind the camera.

Timberlake first rose to fame as a member of the boy band *NSYNC before establishing a successful solo music career. His hits include Cry Me a River, SexyBack, Mirrors and Can't Stop the Feeling!. He has also pursued acting, appearing in films such as The Social Network, Friends with Benefits and Trolls.

The Academy Museum Gala brought together prominent figures from film, television and music to raise funds for the museum's exhibitions, screenings and educational programmes. This year's honourees included Charlize Theron, who received the Icon Award, Colman Domingo, who received the Vantage Award, and filmmaker John Carpenter, who received the Luminary Award.

Other attendees included Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Connor Storrie and Rosé. Swift also performed during the evening, making the gala a major gathering for stars across the entertainment industry.

The event raised more than $14 million to support the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and its mission to celebrate and preserve the history of cinema.
