Ryan Gosling’s Matching Barbie Tribute
Like his La La Land co-star, Ryan Gosling also made a bold fashion statement at the ceremony. He serenaded the audience with “I’m Just Ken” while wearing a bedazzled hot-pink suit, channeling both Barbie and Marilyn Monroe.
Gosling’s custom Gucci suit, along with the outfits of his background dancers (all fellow Kens – Scott Evans, Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Ncuti Gatwa) – seemed to be a tribute to one of Monroe’s most iconic scenes.
From Gosling’s Barbie-pink gloves to the dancers’ bow ties and striped shirts, the costuming mirrored the scene in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” where Monroe sings “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.”
