At the premiere of The Gray Man at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California, on July 13, 2022, Ana de Armas leaned into the metallic eveningwear trend that dominated red carpets in the early 2020s.

The open-front construction of the skirt occasionally revealed her silver ankle-strap heels, keeping the focus on the sharp, futuristic styling that has become a recurring part of Ana’s Louis Vuitton red-carpet wardrobe.
She has regularly worn the house for major appearances, from the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week to the No Time to Die world premiere in London.
Styled by Samantha McMillen, the look balanced metallic textures with understated accessories, including Fred Leighton diamond jewelry, softly waved hair, and muted pink makeup, keeping attention on the sculptural silhouette and reflective finish of the outfit.

The Gray Man Trio Brings Three Very Different Takes on Premiere Dressing
Co-stars Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans joined Ana de Armas on the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere, with all three stars leaning into sharply defined premiere style rather than coordinated dressing.
Ana’s metallic Louis Vuitton look contrasted against Ryan’s pastel Gucci tailoring and Chris’s relaxed navy suiting, giving the event a distinctly modern blockbuster feel.
The Gray Man marked Ana’s second collaboration with Ryan following Blade Runner 2049, where she played Joi, the holographic A.I. companion opposite his character, K.
The film also reunited Ana with Chris after their breakout chemistry in the 2019 mystery hit Knives Out. The pair would later share the screen again in the action-romance film Ghosted.

The Gray Man follows CIA operative Court Gentry, whose discovery of classified agency secrets turns him into the target of Lloyd Hansen, a volatile former agent determined to eliminate him at any cost.
Released theatrically in select markets on July 15, 2022, before debuting globally on Netflix on July 22, the action thriller reflected the streamer’s growing investment in large-scale franchise filmmaking. With a reported production budget of around $200 million, it ranked among Netflix’s most expensive original films at the time.

Ryan Gosling Softens Premiere Suiting in Gucci Pastels and Ivory Brogues
Ryan Gosling plays Court Gentry, a resourceful CIA operative forced into survival mode after uncovering agency secrets.
Speaking with WWD, Gosling described the character as “a blue-collar Bond” — less reliant on gadgets and more dependent on instinct, humor, and adaptability.

For the premiere, Ryan wore a Gucci seafoam jacket with mint green wool trousers, which he styled with a cream-colored striped shirt and ivory leather brogues.

His newly bleached blond hair complemented the pastel Gucci look and foreshadowed the California-inspired aesthetic he would later bring to Ken in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, opposite Margot Robbie.

The actor caused quite a frenzy when photos of him as Ken surfaced online. Clad in double denim, Ryan showed off his blond hair and washboard abs.
Chris Evans Gives Navy Suiting a Relaxed Edge With Tassel Loafers
Chris Evans stepped away from his clean-cut Captain America image to play Lloyd Hansen, a volatile former CIA operative whose unpredictability drives much of The Gray Man’s tension.
Speaking with Empire, Evans described the character as someone who sees himself as necessary despite the damage he causes, adding to the film’s darker take on the modern action villain.

Chris went for a classic look with a modern edge during the premiere. He wore a navy suit from Eleventy Milano, a white tank top, and leather loafers with tassel trim.
Ray-Ban aviator shades and a gold pendant necklace rounded out his premiere look.

The Gray Man premiere marks Ana’s first public appearance since recounting her split with ex-boyfriend Ben Affleck.
