In Hilaria's Instagram post regarding the occasion, she admitted that her husband was "annoyed" to have to come out of the elevator with her to take a selfie to show off her dress and his tuxedo. Apparently, she isn't dressing up as much anymore, as her children seemed surprised to see her wearing make-up.

"He was annoyed with me because I made him come out of elevator for a pic…it was worth it," she wrote in the caption. "We dress up so rarely now that Edu asked me: 'mommy, what’s on your eyeballs?' 'Makeup', I told him…I feel judged by a 2 year old," she joked.

Alec later reposted the above photo to his own Instagram page, writing, "Grandma and Grandpa head out for an evening …"
