Gangster Squad Premiere: Ryan Gosling's Mother Raids Eva Mendes' Closet (Pictures)

Ryan Gosling and his mother attend the LA premiere for Ryan's latest movie Gangster Squad

Ryan Gosling’s girlfriend Eva Mendes was notably absent from last night’s Gangster Squad premiere in Los Angeles last night (January 7, 2012). Her clothes, however were not. Instead of taking Eva to the red carpet event, Ryan was accompanied by his mother, Donna Gosling, who was wearing Eva Mendes’ clothes. Talking to Associated Press, outside the screening, in her gold brocade coat Donna told the reporter “I’m wearing Eva Mendes tonight.”

 Apparently, Eva likes her potential mother-in-law so much, that she allowed Donna to raid her closet. Ryan confirmed his mother’s claims by saying “she’s wearing my girlfriend’s clothes… my mum raided her closet,” as Donna giggled next to him. We suppose those are the rewards of spawning an actor like Ryan Gosling. You get to wear Eva Mendes’ clothes, huh? Also stealing the limelight at last night’s event was Emma Stone, whose blonde hair was cut with a straight fringe to frame her face and she wore red lipstick to complement her knee length strapless red dress and a striking, ruby-red necklace. Mireille Enos played up to the vintage glamour in a floor-length white gown and small white vntage-style clutch.

 The first major review of Gangster Squad was released yesterday by The Hollywood Reporter and it gave a grim view of the movie, with its cartoonish leanings. Subsequent reviews from Empire and Variety magazines have been kinder, but have hardly created any lasting hype for a movie which seems condemned to languish in the lower echelons of the LA noir genre. Sean Penn stars as the central character, Mickey Cohen, a notorious LA mob leader.
