AsBarbiecontinues its rollout,Ryan Goslingis thanking his partner.
In an interview withAccess Hollywoodat the world premiere in Los Angeles on Sunday, Gosling, 42, was asked how he felt about all of the Instagram posts from Mendes, 49.
“It means everything. It means everything," he said.
TheLa La Landstar also paid tribute to his longtime girlfriend through his fashion choices for the evening. While hisfaded pink suitmay be more of an homage to the candy-coated movie, Gosling’s jewelry choices made his love clear.
Wrapped around his neck was a small pendant showing the letter E, short for Eva. Stylized like the titular Barbie’s big pink B, the necklace stayed in theme while also shining a light on his romantic life. Gosling’s stylist Mark Avery confirmed toInStylethat the necklace was an ode to his Mendes.

Once again using her Instagram feed as her very own Gosling fanpage, Mendes also playfully poked fun at the press tour in aKen-emblazoned t-shirt. Showcasing her boyfriend front and center, Mendes captioned that photo, “Got that real big Kenergy. Coz girls is players too.”
Of course, things got a bit more steamy when theStuck on Youactress appeared onThe Talk. There, Mendes revealed that she had asked Gosling for apair of underwearthat he wore while playing Ken.
“It’s a funny photo and he’s trying to be funny," Mendes said, reacting to the first shots of Gosling as Ken. “It worked on all levels. But when I saw it, when he sent it to me from work, I was like, ‘Can I please have that underwear? Please, I never ask for anything.'"
“I’m wearing it right now," said Mendes with a laugh, chalking it all up to aBarbie-inspired teenage imagination.
