During our recent work trip to Canada (catch up with us on Instagram), we were somewhat disappointed not to bump into celebrity native Ryan Gosling. We looked everywhere, but the actor, born 35 years ago in London, Ontario, was nowhere to be seen. But now we understand why: Gosling was busy overseas, promoting his latest movie, The Nice Guys.
Although he's about to become a daddy for the second time, Gosling kept it professional as he embarked on a dazzling marathon of red carpet and photo ops across the US and Europe, always making sure his style game was on point. Of course, it helps when Gucci is willing to dress you head-to-toe. Here, a slightly impartial review of Gosling's best looks.
Gosling started strong at the LA premiere of The Nice Guys. He pulled a bright blue suit from Alessandro Michele's pre-fall 2016 collection, which he paired perfectly with a baby blue tie and a crisp white shirt. The first of many Gucci looks worn by the actor on his promo tour.

Let's do a double-take on the lovely embroidered flower detail on the tie, perhaps a way to show his love for Eva Mendes, who recently announced she's pregnant with their second child.

Ryan Gosling wore another Gucci suit from the pre-fall 2016 collection. He gave this midnight blue "Heritage" suit a nice 1960s throwback, wearing it with a lemon-colored shirt. A great display of casual elegance.

No self-respecting Hollywood star would skip a photo call on the Croisette. Here, the always-ready Gosling switched up his Heritage suit, wearing it with a subtle print shirt.

Fast forward to the red carpet reception, where Gosling donned a custom Gucci tuxedo jacket with a white shawl lapel. Note that the actor opted to wear it with midnight blue evening trousers and a matching satin bowtie, as opposed to black, giving us a fresh way to do black-tie. The patent laceups are the cherry on top of this tall vanilla cake.

Special mention to Matt Bomer, Gosling's co-star in The Nice Guys, who needs a new word for flawless.

Another made-to-order Heritage suit by Gucci, this time in a dark green corduroy. Gosling knows his audience and added a touch of British flair to his outfits, using a smart-yet-quirky bottle green shade. He completes the look simply, with a white shirt and black brogues.

Last but not least, the actor wrapped up his European tour in Italy. When in Rome, wear dark: Gosling channelled Marcello Mastroianni in a custom midnight blue tuxedo, by Gucci of course, as are his shirt, bowtie, and patent shoes. This perfect evening look is all we needed to get enough motivation for next week.
