Sacha Baron Cohen cut a suave figure on Friday as he hit the red carpet for the screening of his new TV series Disclaimer during Venice Film Festival.
The actor, 52, opted for an all black ensemble and dark sunglasses as he happily posed for snaps in the sunshine.
Sacha certainly dressed to impress for the event, slipping into a black blazer and trousers matched with a coordinating shirt, shoes and bow tie.
The Ali G legend appeared in great spirits as he flashed a dazzling smile, having moved on from his relationship woes following the announcement in April that he had quietly separated from wife Isla Fisher after 14 years of marriage.
Sacha portrays the role of Robert in the new Apple TV+ limited series, based on the 2015 novel by Renee Knight.

The actor was joined on the red carpet by co-star Cate Blanchett , who dazzled in a sweeping white gown.
Disclaimer will tell the tale of documentary filmmaker Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate) who receives a mysterious novel titled The Perfect Stranger on her nightstand.
Catherine is described as ‘a successful and respected television documentary journalist’ who has built a career out of revealing the transgressions of beloved institutions, before her whole life is upturned by the delivery.
At first intrigued by the novel, Catherine quickly discovers it is not fiction, but rather a recreation of the day Catherine ‘became hostage to a dark secret, a secret that only one other person knew – and that person is dead’, according to the synopsis.
The only other person who knew this secret – or so she thought – is dead, as she finds herself confronting the truth about that awful and fateful day.
Forced into a ‘living nightmare’, Catherine’s only hope is to confront what happened on that fateful day, even if ‘the truth might destroy her’.
Her doting husband is played by Sacha, and her on-screen son is portrayed by Kodi Smit-McPhee.
Kevin Kline and Lesley Manville are also part of the all-star cast.
