Ryan Gosling Brings Big ‘Ken-ergy’ Style in Unbuttoned Shirt to the 2024 Golden Globes

The 'Barbie' nominee skipped the red carpet, but was spotted heading into the show in a Gucci custom black suit and shirt with white piping detail

Ryan Gosling may have skipped the red carpet, but his signature style was on display inside the 2024 Golden Globes.

The actor, 43, who’s nominated for his role of Ken in Barbie wore a Gucci custom black wool suit and (mostly unbuttoned) shirt with white piping detail and black leather lace-ups shoes.

And while he arrived at the award show solo, his longtime love, Eva Mendes, 48, has been cheering him on from the sidelines since before the movie hit theaters in July.

Last June, when the world got its first look at Gosling’s transformation into Ken, via a photo of the actor with platinum hair, a very revealing denim outfit and Ken-branded boxers, Mendes shared the image, which almost immediately went viral, on her Instagram account, alongside the caption: “So. F. Funny. So. F. Good. So F excited for you to see this … #Thatsmyken.”

In September, Mendes posted a video showing a sunglasses-clad Gosling walking as his Barbie ballad “I’m Just Ken” plays in the background.

In another nod to the actor’s role in the box-office hit, Mendes decorated the video with a sticker of Gosling as the ultra-tan, bleached-blonde doll. She also added a heart sticker.

In an interview with Access Hollywood at the film’s world premiere in Los Angeles in July, Gosling was asked how he felt about all of the Instagram love from Mendes.

“It means everything. It means everything," said the actor, whose jewelry for the evening also represented his love for Mendes: a small pendant showing the letter E, short for Eva.

Mendes and Gosling have been linked since 2011, when they filmed The Place Beyond the Pines together. While the couple has never married, they share two children: Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 7.

It’s a big night for the movie which grew into the highest-grossing film of 2023 (and Warner Bros.' biggest movie ever!) at over $1.44 billion worldwide following its July release, received nine nominations in the Golden Globes' film categories including one for best motion picture – musical or a comedy and a nod to Margot Robbie for her role as the titular character.
