Helen Mirren lovingly gazes up at her husband Taylor Hackford at The American French Film Festival

Dame Helen Mirren lovingly gazed up at her husband Taylor Hackford while attending The American French Film Festival awards ceremony in Neuilly-sur-Seine on Wednesday.

The British actress and the Santa Barbara-born filmmaker – both 77 – originally met in 1986, and they’ll celebrate an impressive 25 years of wedded bliss on December 31.

Taylor donned a black double-breasted suit while Helen flashed her undergarments in a black sheer ensemble as they posed on the black carpet inside France’s SACEM (Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers of Music).

Mirren fastened a black headband over her long white locks and she wore a matching lace jacket over a tea-length mesh dress, cranberry tights, and Baroque-style booties selected by stylist Rachel Fanconi.

Hackford plans on directing the L’Oréal Paris brand ambassador as a femme fatale enforcer called ‘The Spider’ in his upcoming detective noir thriller Sniff alongside Al Pacino, Morgan Freeman, and Danny DeVito.

The two-time Grammy winner – who has a 43-year-old son Alexander – is still grieving the loss of his eldest son Rio, who died on April 14 at age 51 from uveal melanoma.

Helen – who’s only a Grammy away from elite EGOT status – hosts the six-episode fourth season of critically-acclaimed mockumentary series Documentary Now!, which airs Wednesdays on IFC and AMC+.

‘I’m never comfortable with comedy. I’m so out of my depth with comedy. The only way I can deal with it is to be as serious as I possibly can be,’ Mirren (born Mironoff) admitted to Consequence last month.

‘And that was the nice thing. When [creators Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers, and Rhys Thomas] asked me originally to do the presentation for this, [I knew] this needed to be played completely straight and very very serious, like Masterpiece Theater. So I knew that I could do that.’

The Philosophy of Modern Song reader will also star as matriarch Cara Dutton in opposite Harrison Ford in Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone spin-off 1923, which premieres December 18 on Paramount+.
