Sporting a vibrant, pink-on-pink ensemble at the Los Angeles premiere of the year's most anticipated film, Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie', heartthrob Ryan Gosling added "devoted husband" to his impressive Hollywood repertoire. As reported by InStyle, Gosling's tribute to his wife, Eva Mendes, came in the form of a subtle monogram pendant, styled by Mark Avery.
Pink on Pink: Gosling's Sartorial Tribute to Eva
In a display of his unwavering love for his better half, Gosling attended the premiere in an outfit that included a charming tribute to his wife. Amidst the splendid sea of pink - a pastel pink pantsuit over an even lighter pink button-up shirt, Gosling wore a necklace that many mistook as a 'B' for Barbie. However, Gosling's stylist Mark Avery revealed it was actually an 'E' for Eva. "While Gosling's necklace may resemble a 'B' as in Barbie, the monogram pendant is actually an 'E' for Eva," he stated.
Embodying Ken: Gosling's 'Kennisms' On Display
As if channeling his on-screen counterpart Ken, Gosling's outfits during the Barbie press tour have been carefully chosen to showcase his "Kennisms." His press tour wardrobe has included everything from a Ken-approved baby blue suit to lavender-colored Gucci loafers. These fashion choices further cement his suitability for the role of Ken, something Gosling has passionately defended.
"You Never Cared About Ken"
Facing criticism for being too old for the role of Ken, Gosling stood firm. He voiced his perspective in an interview with GQ, pointing out the underlying hypocrisy of the audience's sudden concern for the portrayal of Ken. Gosling stated, "I would say, you know, if people don’t want to play with my Ken, there are many other Kens to play with. This kind of clutching-your-pearls idea of, like, #notmyken...But suddenly, it’s like, ‘No, we’ve cared about Ken this whole time.’ No, you didn’t. You never did. Barbie never messed with Ken. That’s the point." He concluded with a poignant reminder: Ken's story, often overlooked, deserves to be told.
