It was a marvelous father-daughter night at the movies.

Bradley Cooper and 7-year-old daughter Lea hit the red carpet for the New York City premiere of his new film IF on May 13, and of course, the outing was just as adorable as you'd expect from the Guardians of the Galaxy star.

While Bradley, 49, opted for a casual black ensemble, Lea—whom he shares with ex Irina Shayk—was all about the colors, wearing a pink sweater and a striped pink, yellow and orange skirt, along with blue and green shoes.

Lea could be seen holding her dad's hand on the red carpet, while chatting with Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso, and even pointing to Bradley's character Ice—an imaginary friend who is a glass of ice water—on the giant IF movie poster.

But this was far from Lea's first time at a big Hollywood premiere: She last joined Bradley at the L.A premiere of his film Leonard Bernstein biopic Maestro in December. (The film also marked Lea's acting debut, as she played a younger version of Leonard's daughter Jamie.)

Bradley—who is currently dating model Gigi Hadid—has been candid about how becoming father to Lea impacted his life.

"Honestly, I'm not sure I'd be alive if I wasn't a dad—I don't know," Bradley said on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepherd in February. "I just needed someone to say, 'We're gonna drop this massive anchor,' and I'm like, 'Why? We're speeding. We just got an upgrade on the boat and I know where the wind is coming in.' And they're like, 'No, there's a tsunami coming and you need an anchor and we're gonna drop it. This is going to dictate everything you do from now on."

The Hangover alum also shared that taking care of himself became a huge priority after becoming a dad, as he wants to set the right example for Lea.

"I want her to have as much foundation as she can—I think about how my relationship with my daughter impacts her growth and the journey she's gonna be on," he added. "The least amount of damage I can do to my daughter—please let me work on myself."
