Ben Affleck & Thandie Newton: Cinema for Peace Gala

Ben Affleck and Thandie Newton walk the red carpet at the 2013 Cinema for Peace Gala for Humanity held at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Friday (January 11) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 40-year-old actor/director was honored at the gala for his work with his organization, the Eastern Congo Initiative.

Thandie, whose new series Rogue debuts on DirecTV this April, was joined at the ceremony by her hubby Ol Parker.

On the red carpet, Ben (in a Brunello Cucinelli suit) met up with Cindy McCain, wife of Senator John McCain.

Ben‘s pals Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard stepped out to show their support as well.

FYI: Thandie is wearing an Erin Featherston dress, Marni shoes, and a Solange Azagury-Partridge ring.
