Steal style secrets from ‘The Fall Guy’ star Ryan Gosling

With “The Fall Guy” (now on Prime Video) emerging as a sleeper hit rom-com of the summer, “The Notebook” selling boxes of tissues on Broadway and Ken-mania sweeping the Oscar stage, Ryan Gosling remains firmly in the white-hot spotlight. 

What better time to revisit some of our favorite fashion moments from the singing-dancing-cowboy-ing Canadian? 

As a celebrity stylist, I’m particularly impressed not just by Gosling’s heartthrob status and serious acting and choreography skills — the 43-year-old star taught his two daughters, which he shares with Eva Mendes, some impressive Ken choreography — but by his playful looks and sartorial daring.

Whether he’s channeling a hilariously hunky stuntman, giving cool-guy swagger in “Drive” or riding his high horse through “Barbie,” the A-list actor is always perfectly Ken-ough. 

Here are five of Gosling’s most iconic film looks — so you can steal the styles for yourself (or your own favorite fall guy) this summer. 

Silk Bomber Jacket (“Drive”)

Gosling’s film characters have a penchant for wearing killer jackets — a fact that has been well documented (and even ranked). But my all-time favorite remains the silk scorpion number he wore in “Drive.” Head straight to Iguana Vintage Clothing in Los Angeles to snag your own stylish stinger.

Styling tip:

Recipe for LA formal: Throw on a silk bomber with a pair of your favorite Levi’s. 


Classic White Button-Down (“The Notebook”) 

It may not be groundbreaking, but a classic white button-down shirt — which Gosling pulls off to perfection while playing Noah Calhoun in the romance that defined a generation (and caused a run on Kleenex) — will always remain the ultimate “summer hottie” look. A must-have for any man’s closet — from JFK Jr. to Mr. Mendes himself.

Styling tip:

Opt for rumpled over perfectly pressed. The vibe we’re going for is “I just fell into the water and got back out dripping wet.” 


Hot Pink Suit: (The 2024 Oscars)

I attended this year’s Oscars in person and my jaw dropped when Gosling came out on stage in bubble-gum pink to croon “I’m Just Ken.” A rockstar moment if there ever was one. I’m a lady who wears mostly black, but you had me out the next day searching for my own pink suit. 

Styling tip:

Pulling off a colorful suit is a power move for both men and women. Feel free to mix and match colors so you’re not trying so hard. 


Pendant Necklace + Trousers (“Crazy Stupid Love”)

This outfit (or lack thereof) channels Patrick Swayze from “Dirty Dancing” and we are absolutely here for it. I’m not much of a “dude jewelry” person, but I give this a resounding “Hell, yes!” 

Styling tip:

Get your summer body ready to be able to rock the shirtless look. 


Cowboy Shirt + Belt (“Barbie”) 

Now that Gosling’s a cowboy, I may just give into the obsession with western wear this summer. The best part of his look? It’s mostly black!

Styling tip:

Black-on-black always wins. Ask Johnny Cash.
