Ridley Scott made a rare red carpet appearance as he stepped out for the LA premiere of Alien: Romulus.
The acclaimed British filmmaker 86, directed the original Alien in 1979 and serves as a producer on the latest flick in the franchise.
Ridley joined some of the 20th Century Fox film's cast at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday night.
For the event, Ridley sported in a grey suit jacket, with cream chinos and a light blue sweater, as well as a pair of gold-buckled black loafers.
He posed for snaps with cast members Isabela Merced, Aileen Wu, Archie Renaux and Spike Fear, along with the film's director Fede Álvarez.

The new movie from Don't Breathe filmmaker Fede - which hits cinemas on August 16 - is set between the franchise's first two films: 1979's Alien and 1986's Aliens.
Alien: Romulus sees Isabela as Kay, Aileen as Navarro, Archie as Tyler and Spike as Bjorn. It also stars Cailee Spaeny as Rain Carradine and David Jonsson as Andy but both were absent from the premiere.
Instant Family star Isabela turned heads at the premiere as she arrived in a stunning black ruched wrap gown, complete with a head scarf.
The 23-year-old star's gown was complete with dramatic pointed hip pads before hugging her figure and finished with a train.
Isabela's brunette locks were styled in glamorous curls and swept to one side, and she paired the look with a brown lip colour.
Joining Isabela on the carpet was English actor Archie, 26, who has starred in Netflix's Shadow and Bone and the motion picture Morbius.
Archie looked dapper for the premiere as he wore a trendy navy satin suit, complete with high-waisted pants and a casual vest.
He finished off the look with a pair of patent shoes and wore a collection of silver chain necklaces.

Also in attendance was another English actor, ITV's Tell Me Everything star Spike, 24.
The Brit opted for a chic tan linen suit with large shoulder pads for the outing, as well as a pair of patent heeled boots and a cream satin top.
Completing the cast lineup in attendance was Aileen, who makes her feature debut in Alien: Romulus.
The Chinese-American actress and producer looked incredible in a black scarf-style sweetheart neckline gown - which had a cut-out at the waist before going out into a full skirt.
Aileen finished off her look with a pair of black bow sandals and a pair of drop pearl earrings.
Alien: Romulus's trailer begins with a space ship flying towards a space station, along with glimpses of the seemingly-abandoned space station.
The opening shots are very reminiscent of the opening moments of Ridley Scott's original Alien.

As the camera moves throughout the space station, we can faintly hear people talking... as the conversations get more and more intense.
The camera then pans to a pod of some sort, which is covered in blood as we can hear a woman screaming.
A male voice is heard saying simply, 'Run,' as we see the iconic Facehugger creatures from the original chasing after a character.
There are also several shots of people walking or running, though there are only brief glimpses of their faces.
We ultimately get better looks at Andy, Kay and Rain, plus another shot of a Facehugger finding a new victim.
The final shot offers a close-up look at Rain, intensely surveying her surroundings with a huge gun, before she looks up and the iconic Xenomorph opens its jaws.
Director Fede offered some more insight into the highly-anticipated film in a new interview with Variety, including when exactly the film is set in the 57 years between Alien and Aliens.
Alien: Romulus is slated to hit cinemas on August 16, which will place it in direct competition with Kevin Costner 's Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2
20th Century Fox is going back to the one place no one can hear you scream: outer space with the first trailer for the highly-anticipated Alien : Romulus.

'(The movie) takes 20 years after the first one, and for me, I don’t see it as upsetting the canon,' Fede admitted.
'It's something I take personal pleasure in doing, making sure that it all tracks and is all part of the big Alien franchise story — not only in the story, but also when it comes to how to make it,' he added.
The director said that he spoke with original Alien director Ridley, who serves as a producer on the new film, and, 'had long chats' with Aliens director James Cameron about the movie.
He added: 'After the movie was done, I showed it to them,' also revealing he hired the VFX superviser from Aliens to make the miniatures for the film.
