Rocking a baseball cap and a double denim outfit, Eva’s look was a far cry from the custom couture gowns seen at event.

Eva previously spoke about the reason why she doesn’t do red carpet events with Ryan when she posted footage from 2011’s Place Beyond The Pines.

Fans were left wondering why Ryan Gosling walked the red carpet without his wife Eva Mendes by his side at the Oscars in Los Angeles on Sunday night

She wrote: ‘Magic is Real. We did not meet on set. The magic started way before, but here’s a little magic captured on camera.’

A fan commented: ‘Eva, I want to be honest w u, but I hope Barbie will get through the Awards Season just to see you w Ryan. I know I’m selfish and probably a dreamer, but I will never stop to dream about it!!’ (sic).

To which she responded: ‘You’re the best! What a cool comment; thank you. But we don’t do those things together…Like these photos I’ve been posting, I’m only comfortable posting because it’s already out there.’

She added: ‘Oh wait – for those who may catch me in a ‘lie’ – we only were on the red carpet together once when promoting this film.’

The actress shared a clip on Instagram showing her as she posed outside of Ryan’s, dressing room.

‘Always by my man,’ the mom-of-two — who has been in a relationship with Gosling since they met on the set of their 2012 movie The Place Beyond the Pines — captioned the clip.

Ryan later took the stage for an epic performance of ‘I’m just Ken’ sporting a hot pink bedazzled suit. He was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor, but lost out to Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer.)

Eva also shared a snap of herself to her Instagram Stories, writing in Spanish, ‘Siempre con mi hombre’ which means ‘Always by my man.’

Did you enjoy Ryan Gosling’s performance of I’m Just Ken at the Oscars?

Yes – loved itPreferred it in the movie

After Ryan lost the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, Eva took to Instagram again, as she shared a photo of her in the same pink jacket Ryan wore onstage during his musical performance.

‘You took Ken all the way to the Oscar’s, RG,’ she wrote, playfully adding, ‘Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed.’

The couple—who share daughters Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 7.

In January, Eva defended Ryan over his Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, after fan backlash.

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

‘So proud of my man,’ Eva posted to Instagram.

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

Ryan was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role – but controversially, lead star Margot and director Greta failed to receive individual nods.

Ryan expressed his fury that the Academy had overlooked his female colleagues in a statement, but fell short of giving up his nomination in protest.
