Tim Burton made a rare red carpet appearance with his two children on Wednesday, as he attended the opening of The World of Tim Burton exhibition at The Design Museum in London.
The acclaimed director, 66, put on a dapper display for the evening, wearing a black suit and tie with a spotted button-up shirt underneath.
He was joined by his son Billy Ray, 21, and daughter Nell, 16, who he shares with his ex-partner Helena Bonham Carter.
Billy Ray looked smart in a red collared shirt, while Nell showed she'd inherited some of her parent's famous quirky gothic style as she sported a leather jacket and a bejewelled skull ring.
Tim and Helena, 58, began a romantic relationship in 2001 after meeting on the set of Planet of the Apes.
The actress went on to star in six of his films; Big Fish, Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Alice in Wonderland and Dark Shadows.
The pair famously didn't marry during their relationship and unconventionally lived in two adjoining houses in London with their two children.
Helena previously admitted she struggled during her pregnancies, revealing that she and Tim had been trying for a baby for two years and considered IVF before conceiving naturally.
The couple announced that they had 'separated amicably' in 2014 and Tim has been in a relationship with Italian actress Monica Bellucci since last year.
The World Of Tim Burton opens to the public on Friday and showcases around 600 items from Tim's five-decade-long career.
Some of the objects on display include Jenna Ortega’s viral Wednesday dress, Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman suit from 1992’s Batman Returns and the Edward Scissorhands costume worn by Johnny Depp in the 1990 film.
Visitors will also get to explore a recreation of Tim's studio where he comes up with his creative ideas, while a number of his sketches and drawings are displayed.
Exploring the collection on Wednesday night, Tim praised the museum curators, saying that despite the exhibition feeling like 'exposing your dirty laundry', they had done a 'beautiful job'.
He told the PA news agency: 'I remember the first time [I saw it], I didn’t really know what they were doing and it was just very shocking because it’s seeing this stuff up that you never meant to be up on a wall or anything like that.
“But they did a beautiful job, it’s like walking through kind of a fun house, which is nice, so I think they did a beautiful job with it.
'They basically went through and picked things that I never even knew I had, I realised I just kind of hoarded things and I never really threw things away.
'So I never knew this stuff existed until the first show, it’s hard for me because it’s kind of like exposing your dirty laundry to everyone to see.
'But they did it in a way that shows a journey and a process that, although I can’t look at things really specifically, it has a good vibe and a good feeling to me. The whole layout is beautifully done, the lighting and the sound and the vibe of it.'
