Hilaria and Alec Baldwin were berated by furious paparazzi in New York City on Monday night.

The couple, who have been married since 2012 and have seven children, were hounded by photographers as they stepped out for the 35th Gotham Film Awards at swanky Manhattan restaurant Cipriani Wall Street.

Arriving at the venue, actor Alec, 67, stood aside to let his glamorous wife, 41, enjoy a solo moment in front of the cameras.

But as Hilaria showed off her rather eye-popping corseted mini dress, irate photographers berated the pair for not putting on a loved-up display.

In a video of the tense moment shared to Instagram by Hilaria, paparazzi can be heard shouting for the Baldwins to 'stop f***ing around already,' 'get together for god's sake' and 'get closer together.'

While fans on social media were taken aback by the heckles, Hilaria seemed to take it in her stride.

Alongside a flurry of laughing emojis, she captioned the video: 'I'm obsessed with the commentary on this.'

Many of her followers were less sympathetic.

One observed: 'Just a tiny bit bossy, aren't they?'

Another asked: 'Are paparazzi always that demanding?!'

'I would deliberately ignore all such rude shouting,' added a third.

Others complimented Alec for allowing Hilaria her moment to shine.

'Aww he loves her and he wants her to have the spotlight,' one fan wrote, while another added, 'He was letting you have the spotlight. So sweet.'

The couple met in 2011, married the following year, and went on to welcome Carmen, 12, Rafael, 10, Leonardo, nine, Romeo, seven, Eduardo, five, María Lucía, four, and Ilaria, three.

Alec also has daughter Ireland, 30, with his first wife, actress Kim Basinger, who he was married to from 1993 to 2002.

Hilaria, who competeted as a contestant on the latest series of Dancing with the Stars, paired her Zimmermann mini dress with diamond studded heels on Monday night.

The former yoga instructor revealed that she had spotted the dress in a shop window while out on a run just hours before the Gotham Film Awards event.

And she certainly looked the part as she and Alec gathered with Hollywood's latest and greatest to honor achievements in independent film.

A-listers Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Hudson and Julia Roberts led the red carpet arrivals, while Naomi Watts, Elle Fanning and Amanda Seyfried all turned heads in dramatic gowns.
