Michael Douglas arrived hand in hand with his daughter Carys as he was appointed an Ambassador De Mallorca on Monday.
The Fatal Attraction star, 81, looked smart in a navy blazer jacket and open collared white shirt.
Meanwhile his daughter Carys, 23, looked stunning in a black strapless top and matching black trousers.

Beaming together in snaps, the actor was named one of the first Terra d’Honor ambassadors in recognition of his commitment to Mallorca and his contribution to promoting the island internationally through culture and heritage conservation.

He planted vineyards at the property which produced local award-winning wine and he used to play a key role in the local political and cultural life of the nearby town Valldemossa.
He has acted as an informal ambassador for the island and over the years he and his wife have been joined by several Hollywood guests at their home there.
Michael and Carys' outing comes after Carys made her professional stage debut in June in a production of Anton Chekhov's classic play The Seagull in New York.
She starred as Nina, a fame-hungry aspiring actress who becomes entangled in a love triangle, a role that has been portrayed previously by the likes of Saoirse Ronan, Emilia Clarke, Carey Mulligan, Natalie Portman and a young Dame Helen Mirren.
A friend of Carys' told the Daily Mail her parents Catherine, 56, and Michael, 81, were 'so proud' of her latest achievement.
The Welsh star has also made a public display of support by liking a poster of the play – which will have a limited one-week run at St Lydia's Theatre in Brooklyn – on Instagram.
Casting was announced by the production company Solid Flesh, the theatre group founded by Carys' friend Kieran Gettel-Gilmartin, who acted in the 2022 Netflix comedy film Metal Lords.
Carys, who graduated from Brown University last year with a degree in film and international relations, starred alongside fellow Brown graduate Sarah Yannic and Kieran.
'I grew up doing theatre, and I didn't study acting in school, but that's why I'm happy to be in such an informative arts space,' Carys told People magazine last year.
Catherine, who also shares son Dylan, 25, with her husband, has previously spoken about her children's passion for the arts, admitting in 2021: 'Michael and I would be the first parents to say, "You know, maybe you should think of another career," but we've seen how passionate they are about the craft.'
She continued: 'They know what celebritydom is. They know the good, the bad, warts and all that. But their passion is about acting as a craft and they've done every theatre camp - my kids went off to summer camp every year, to theatre camp with the Broadway kids,and held their own very, very well, I have to say.'

Both Carys' Oscar-winning parents began their illustrious careers on the stage before transitioning to film.
Catherine was cast as one of the orphan girls in the original West End production of Annie at just nine years old, and became a national tap-dancing champion in her early teens.
Catherine won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film adaptation of Chicago in 2003, and a Tony Award for her Broadway debut in A Little Night Music in 2010.
Michael studied acting at The American Place Theatre in New York City and got his start at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center in the 1960s.
Catherine and Michael share two children together, Carys, and her brother Dylan, 25, and they are both following in the acting footsteps of their famous parents.
Acting is a prominent part of Michael's family background; he is the son of legendary actor Kirk Douglas and actress Diana Dill.
While Dylan has a short resume on IMDb, he still remains in the spotlight – he hosts Young American with Dylan Douglas, a 'Gen Z powered political talk show'.
