Ryan Gosling from ‘I’m Just Ken’ Oscars Performance

This past weekend, the 2024 Oscars were more than memorable thanks to Ryan Gosling bringing the Kenergy to the awards with his explosive live performance of ‘I’m Just Ken.’ Although Barbie didn’t win best picture or director, Ryan truly made a lasting impression by flooding our screens and the stage with pink. He was accompanied by a large ensemble of Kens supporting him as background dancers. The look of the performance was inspired by the famous scene featuring Marilyn Monroe’s ‘Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend’ from the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Of course in this case, Ryan is the iconic blonde and the ensemble wear costumes inspired by the men in the ensemble from the film. Choosing this classic film as inspiration is also fitting as Greta Gerwig took a lot of inspiration from large sweeping sound-stage musicals from that time. The I’m Just Ken scene in Barbie is actually inspired by Singin’ in the Rain, from the dream ballet sequence with Cyd Charisse and Gene Kelly.

Ryan wore an all-pink outfit to this performance. This can be created by wearing a hot-pink suit, pink shirt, pink gloves, pink socks, black dress shoes, and fashionable black sunglasses. The rhinestones can be added with AB rhinestones and glued with E6000. A black cowboy hat can also be added like he wears in the very beginning of the performance. This would make for a great duo or group costume with your favorite Kens as the background dancers.

Sebastian from La La Land

Sebastian is a character from the film La La Land, directed by Damien Chazelle and is played by Ryan Gosling. Sebastian is the love interest of the protagonist, Mia Dolan. Sebastian is a jazz enthusiast and aspires to open his own club for it.

Sebastian’s costumes are all very classic and 1950s style inspired. He wears mostly suits and ties, always a dress shirt. The colors he sticks to are black, white, and yellow- complimenting Mia’s costume and the colorful sets in the background.

Ken from Barbie (2023)

Ken (played by Ryan Gosling) is the hunky counterpart to the titular Barbie from the upcoming live-action film. Barbie and Ken have been iconic toys for decades, and now they’re getting the full movie treatment as dolls brought to life. Ken wears several wild outfits in the movie, including a black and white cowboy ensemble and a glaringly neon outfit with plenty of funky patterns. You may have to get a little crafty to get as close as possible to Ken’s look, so don’t be afraid to attach some fringe to your cowboy shirt with a hot glue gun. Likewise, neon sneakers can stand in for roller blades if you don’t feel like skating all night.

Holland March from The Nice Guys

He’s not the best P.I. out there. And, okay, he might not get the job done. But when it really matters, Holland March (played by Ryan Gosling) puts his all into the job. Even if that means cozying up to the guy hired to beat him up and keep him from asking questions.

Typical of a suave guy in the ’70s, March is prone to bright colors. A bright blue suit with a light patterned undershirt and a coordinating tie are his go-to work look. Add in a gold watch, a gold pinky ring, and a trim goatee and you’ve got an essential ’70s vibe. After that all you need to finish off the look is a brown leather belt and a pair of shoes to match. And, of course, March’s cigarette (go for a fake one).

Officer K

Officer K (Ryan Gosling) is the protagonist of the 2017 sci-fi film Blade Runner 2049. He is a new Blade Runner, a hunter of Replicants that have gone rogue, that goes off the grid to locate former Blade Runner Rick Deckard, who went off the grid years ago. Models of Blade Runner pistols exist in varying degrees of cost and quality, the one listed is one of the more economically safe choices.

Lars Lindstrom

Lars Lindstrom, played by Ryan Gosling, is an antisocial shut-in who lives in a garage and spurns all social interaction. One day, he introduces his family to his new girlfriend Bianca, a Real Doll of Brazilian and Danish descent that he ordered off the Internet.

Driver

Ryan Gosling plays the unnamed “Driver” in the movie Drive. The character seems to have a stable, yet lonely, life, working three jobs as a mechanic, stuntman, and a secret getaway driver. Though his life changes when he meets his new neighbors, Driver is consistently seen in his scorpion jacket and chewing on a toothpick throughout the film.
