William H. Macy made a rare appearance alongside his daughter Sophia at the premiere of their new film Brian at the South by Southwest film festival on Sunday.
The father–daughter duo were dressed in casual-chic attire for the premiere of the movie, in which they both star.
They were also spotted later at the festival afterparty, where the 76-year-old actor and his eldest daughter, 25, flashed their bright smiles and nearly pressed cheek-to-cheek while posing on the red carpet.
For the premiere and festivities, which occurred the , Macy was effortlessly stylish and sharp in a muted blue button-down, green leather jacket and dark jeans paired with a brown, leather belt.
His daughter opted for a more casual and comfortable look featuring distressed jeans with a beige lace bralette and a white tank top that left her midriff partially exposed.
Sophia is one of two daughters Macy shares with his wife Felicity Huffman, 63. The longtime couple are also parents to daughter Georgia, 23.

Macy didn't attend the Academy Awards this year, though one of his recent projects, Train Dreams, received four Oscar nominations.
In the period drama — which is adapted from Denis Johnson's acclaimed 2011 novella — Macy starred as Arn Peeples, an early 20th century Pacific Northwest railroad laborer.
Train Dreams was nominated for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Original Song, but it lost in each category.
'It's not real violence. It's made up. It's Hollywood,' Macy said. 'I think it's bad for us. It's bad for our society. Violence is real.
'But to tell the truth I think I hurt myself when it comes to the super [hero world],' he continued.
'But I'm dying to do it and I'd like to play the bad guy. When you get a plot, which is pretty high concept, you need those little grounding things. And I flatter myself, I'm pretty good at keeping things grounded.'
