Will Ferrell joined his best friend Harper Steele at the Will & Harper premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Monday.
The actor, 56, looked dapper in a tan trench coat worn over gray suit with a colorful, patterned tie as he posed on the red carpet alongside his longtime pal of 30 years.
At his side, Steele looked effortlessly stylish in a pastel yellow peacoat layered over an otherwise all-black ensemble.
The four-time Emmy winner — who was spotted at the star-studded Los Angeles Lakers game with his son on Wednesday — previously worked with Steele at Saturday Night Live at the beginning of both of their comedy careers.
Their film Will & Harper follows the dynamic duo as they take a cross-country road trip together to process the new stage of friendship after Steele comes out as a trans woman.

The log line reads as follows: ‘When Will Ferrell finds out his close friend of 30 years is coming out as a trans woman, the two decide to embark on a cross-country road trip to process this new stage of their relationship in an intimate portrait of friendship, transition, and America.’
Will & Harper was directed by Josh Greenbaum, who they also posed with on the red carpet at their Sundance premiere.
They also took a group photo with crew members Chris Leggett, Jessica Elbaum and Rafael Marmor.
Executive producer Jessica Sarowitz and her daughter Sarah were also spotted at the premiere in bold, colorful looks.

The day before, Ferrell and Steele talked to The Hollywood Reporter about their road trip documentary and how the idea came to be.
‘The conception of the whole discussion, for some reason in my head, was a documentary,’ Ferrell explained.
‘Of course, I made it clear to Harper, “I don’t want to exploit our friendship, but this could, I think, be just a wonderful way for us to explore this topic”,’ he continued.

Addressing Steele, he explained that he thought it would be a great idea ‘for me to learn [and] ask all the questions that I have about what you’re going through and who you are, have you changed?
‘And I think we eventually landed on the same square,’ he continued. ‘If we actually could convince someone to film it, that maybe it would be something that people would watch.
‘And it would just give them a different perspective or just show off the fact that two people can have a conversation about this.’
Will & Harper premiered at Sundance and is seeking distribution.
