Ryan Gosling’s older sister Mandi is effortlessly elegant in a gold dress as she attends the Academy Awards with her brother and their mother and stepfather

Ryan Gosling brought his favorite Oscars date to the red carpet tonight: his older sister Mandi, along with their mother Donna and stepfather Valerio Attanasio.

Mandi – who also attended the prestigious awards with her brother when he received the Best Actor nomination in 2017 – made a glamorous appearance at the Academy Awards in a gold dress adorned with black houndstooth detailing.

The fitted silhouette has a deep neckline and a fitted waist.

She threw her blonde locks in a half-updo and added dangling dainty earrings to complete the look.

Mandi, a Toronto-based producer and journalist, also stood by Ryan’s side at the 2006 Gotham Awards and the 2008 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

In July, she shared a video of the sibling on her Barbie red carpet Instagramshe wrote, “I always say I won the sibling lottery and this is just one of countless examples – they’re generally not that public!

‘Thank you Internet for all your kind words! There was so much joy and #kenergy at this event, I thought my whole heart would burst with how proud I am of what Ryan brings to the world and it’s so sweet how he shares the excitement of his world with me.”

Their mother was equally sophisticated in a chic black dress with a cut-out neckline and slit, paired with silver heels.

In an ode to Barbie – where her son’s achievements as Ken are celebrated – she clutched a bright pink clutch.

Elsewhere, Valerio looked dapper in a black suit and bow tie. Ryan, 43, channeled his Kenergy and went for a monochrome aesthetic in a simple blazer, shirt and pants, but added a pair of bright pink socks.

Meanwhile, his partner Eva Mendes showed her support ahead of his performance at the star-studded 2024 Oscars.

The 50-year-old actress shared a video on Instagram of her posing outside Ryan’s dressing room, although she opted to skip the red carpet.

“Always by my man,” the mother of two – who has been dating Ryan since they met on the set of their 2012 film The Place Beyond the Pines – captioned it.

In the video, Eva wore a denim look, including a distressed jacket and a button-up denim skirt. She completed the outfit with a black baseball cap and gold hoops.

Ryan is set to take the stage and perform the Oscar-nominated Barbie song “I’m Just Ken” at the 96th Academy Awards. He is also nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Barbie is in the running for an Oscar for Best Picture.

Eva also shared a photo of herself on her Instagram Stories and wrote in Spanish, “Siempre con mi hombre,” which means “Always by my husband.”

Meanwhile, Ryan looked handsome as ever in a black Gucci suit with silver detailing.

The actor walked the red carpet with his sister Mandi Gosling. Mandi wowed in a black and gold houndstooth dress.

In January, Eva defended Ryan over his Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, following backlash from fans.

Eva posted a bubbly message to her Instagram, describing her pride and the ‘Not My Ken’ taunts he endured in the lead-up to Barbie’s release.

“So proud of my husband,” she said.

“So much hate when he took on this role. So many people are trying to shame him for doing this. Despite all the #Notmyken mockery and articles written about him, he created this completely original, hilarious, heartbreaking, now iconic character and took it all the way to the Oscars. I’m so proud to be Ken’s Barbie.’

Ryan was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role, but controversially, lead actor Margot and director Greta did not receive individual nods.

Ryan issued a statement expressing his anger that the Academy had overlooked his female colleagues, but failed to give up his nomination in protest.

He began his statement by expressing gratitude for his nomination, saying, “I am deeply honored to have been nominated by my peers alongside such remarkable artists in a year with so many great films.”

“And I never thought I’d say this, but I’m also incredibly honored and proud that it is for portraying a plastic doll named Ken.”

The actor then expressed his disappointment that Margot and Greta were not nominated, before praising them for their work on the film.

“Against all odds, with nothing but a few soulless, scantily clad and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, broke our hearts, pushed the culture and made history,” he added.

Finally, he congratulated co-star America Ferrera, who received the Best Supporting Actress award.

“That said, I’m so happy for America Ferrera and the other incredible artists who contributed their talents to make this such a groundbreaking film,” Ryan said.

Barbie was released in July and grossed a record $1.45 billion at the global box office, and $636 million domestically.

The blockbuster received a total of eight Oscar nominations, although Greta failed to land a Best Director nomination this year, and Margot, who played the title character, was also passed over for Best Lead Actress.

The 96th Academy Awards honors the best films of 2023 – with a glittering ceremony at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.

The most highly anticipated films of the past year – Barbie and Oppenheimer – lead the nominations.

Oppenheimer has scooped 13 awards, including best film and best actor for Cillian Murphy – who is favorite to win the main category after winning a BAFTA, Golden Globe and SAG award for his role as physicist J .Robert Oppenheimer.

The impressive total – which also includes best supporting actor and actress for Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt, as well as Best Director for Christopher Nolan – is just one nomination short of the all-time record set by Titanic in 1998.

Last year’s other big hit film, Barbie, was nominated for eight awards.

The 96th Academy Awards will be held on March 10 at 7:00 PM ET/4:00 PM PT live on ABC, hosted for the fourth time by Jimmy Kimmel.
