Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, looked so loved-up as they walked the red carpet at the Bring Change to Mind's Revels and Revelations Celebration on Monday night in San Francisco. 

The father of four looked dapper at the Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture, with Matt opting for a charcoal gray suit and a black button-up shirt while his wife sported a figure-hugging black dress with spaghetti straps, complete with strappy black heels. She wore her brunette locks in a chic bob that rested just above her shoulders. 

The pair were accompanied by Matt's longtime friend, Ben Affleck, who looked sharp in a navy suit with a white button-up shirt.

Ben and Matt took a moment to snap photos with Glenn Close – who founded Bring Change to Mind in 2010 – as well as comedienne Sarah Silverman. 

Glenn created the organization to end the stigma surrounding mental illness. She looked regal in a navy silk shirt with a high neckline tucked into a deep blue skirt with buttons down the front. 

Ben and Matt were honored on the night with the prestigious Robin Williams Legacy of Laughter Award, presented to them by the late comedian's children, Zak, Zelda and Cody Williams.

The award recognizes "their impact and the power of storytelling and connection to spark real change". Robin passed away in August 2014, aged 63. The duo wrote the screenplay for the 1997 classic Good Will Hunting, which they also starred in alongside Robin. The film won them an Oscar for Best Screenplay, and Robin also took home an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

"Robin wasn't just someone we admired. He made our dreams come true. We owe everything to him. He said yes to our movie, and we got it made," Ben and Matt said in a joint statement.

"Receiving the Legacy of Laughter Award, created in honor of Robin Williams, is incredibly meaningful to us. His legacy isn't just about his talent and how much he made the world laugh – it's about how deeply he cared. This honor carries his spirit, and that means everything to us."

Robin's impact on Ben and Matt's lives is indisputable, and he was incredibly supportive of the pair when they were breaking into Hollywood with Good Will Hunting. "It was the very first day of shooting, and Ben and I went to the set. We weren't working that day, and we just saw them rehearse, and we were kind of sitting off to the side of the camera," Matt told E! News.

"By the time they said, 'Action,' tears were just falling down my face. I couldn't believe it. I was just looking at Robin start to speak and say these words that Ben and I had just worked on for five years."

"After the scene ended, [Robin] came over to us and he saw us," the actor continued. "He put his hand on our head and just said, 'It's not a fluke. You guys really did this. You really did it.'"
